Julian - your english is clearly very good, even if you speak with an aussie accent.

have you considered London?

it might make a good stepping stone!

Julian if you think this is trolling, you're wrong. Apart from one other post, people here have hardly any knowledge about the subject. Most answers are odd, to say the least. They don't work in Germany and with Germans.
For you, if you really mean it, you can eiter try to find out form your "German friends" or find out the hard way. What they are telling you here will lead you onto to hard way, but you may only find out later.

Not really actually, I have just spent one month over there as a tourist and I found it bloody crowded!

Also I was told by some friends who graduated there than competition is really fierce. As far as I understood, London is a well-coveted destination for so many Europeans having the dream to establish in an English-speaking country but if your aim is getting a proper job u must first work into any casual job for a long while. This is something I would be willing to do just shortly as I have already worked in similar roles for long when I was a student...

Once I thought to move to Dublin but the current Irisih scenario discouraged me at last...

I think that you are right about Ireland - they are going through the "bust" part of a "boom and bust" cycle.

that there are temporary jobs in London is both and advantage and a disadvantage - you have the chance to get some experience whilst looking for something better. But for permanent positions, Holland and Germany look a better bet - if you can get one. and as you say, it's a busy place.

33 years ago people told me that what I wanted to do would be too difficult, yet I've made my living at it for 30 years. it sounds to me as if you have done some homework and are pretty determined, so what's to lose?

Yeah, there's nothing to lose and I think it's always worthy to have a try

Wherever I will move to I will be expecting several difficulties, I don't doubt that. But at the same time I am sure that my commitment and experience wil turn out to be beneficial..
