Cool! That certainly would NOT apply in Auckland! Depending on the area, you wouldn't even be able to buy a house outright.
My husband made a switch from being a chartered buidling surveyor (which is how we got PR) and an Operations Manager to being a Financial Analyst. The company just wanted him to "back himself". Mind you, the role did not require a financial/accounting qualififcation. They are now looking at him undertaking something like that.
There was a post on here by the recruitment manager of IBM a while back and she said that people shouldn't switch careers on coming here - which I politely disagreed with
Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for.
