I can't speak for Australia, but when I worked in Europe (1979-1983) work hours were 09:00-17:00, with 13:00-14:00 off for lunch. I got 4 weeks paid vacation per year, a truckload of paid holidays, and unlimited paid sick time. In the US, you'll typically work 08:30-17:00 or longer with a half hour for lunch, 2 weeks vacation, fewer holidays, and limited sick time (5 days is common). I get paid more in the US, though. So, if money is everything to you, come to the US. If not, compare your options carefully. -- Jeff Carter "You empty-headed animal-food-trough wiper." Monty Python & the Holy Grail
