The town has about 37000 people, but there is very little in the way of developing/IT/anything I am good at The town im at is on the edge of civilisation, so it is mostly farming and the trades that acompany it The next large town (with any chance of work) is Sydney... I'm more of a country boy being rasied out here, and even the thought of living/working in Sydney makes me stressed

37k is a large # to me; the town I grew up in was 1200 people--very much like your Aussie town that has nothing more than a post office, bar, and petrol station. I think the streets of Sydney would make anyone nervous!

No probably not, but thanks anyway :-) so are you in hobart itself?

I believe that if you know how to 'program' it does not matter the language. One of my courses in college was learning how to do the same program in 4 different languages including OOP and non-OOP. It's just learning the syntax of that language and how to optimize it.

Stanley - bugger all, three people live there. Hobart is screaming for devs, I am knocking back people who chase me to work for them. If you're good, you can find work here right now, easy.

Nothing to be nervous about. I remember a bit over 20 years ago catching the train home after a TGIF. I was pissed as a fart and wearing nothing but a home made toga. Everyone and his dog went out of their way to come over and have a chat.

I think you should start your own business
This is not good advice - starting your own company just because you were made redundant/layed off/sacked/quit from your current position is guaranteed to FAIL. It takes reaserch, dedication and a lot of HARD work to run your own company. See some of articles here to get an idea. OTOH some people are fundamentally incapable or running their own company (I am one of these). Let me ask you, do you want to spend 30% of your time marketing, yeah selling, yourself, and when you do win the job, you will almost always need to hassle for payment. No matter how good you are some client will always argue the bill. In my opinion you really must WANT to run your own company long before you start.

That is a skilled task to control more people. It should come with success in smaller spheres and evolves with time.

Thats my point, take the time to make the correct decision and don't make it as a knee jerk reaction to a change in circumstances.
