There's a 16 year gap in my relationship. It can work.

Hi all. I wanted your opinions on my prospects of finding a job that fits in with my schedule. I'm from Newcastle but moving to Canberra to study at ANU in 2010. I desperately need a job (gap years are spectacular money eaters, my god) but I'm kinda freaking out that I won't be able to find one...

NRuus: did you speak much Finnish before you went? I was thinking of applying for a Youth Exchange or Gap program, but the thought of going somewhere where I don't speak the language terrifies me. Is it as hard as I'm imagining?
