    Good luck on the test, I'd hope for $1k they'd also send you on a cruise afterwards - like the Bahamas! And to think I griped about a $50 test fee!? :biggrin_25523:

    on the market, the au dollar is sitting higher than traditionally, due to the weak us economy. Trading at approx 1 aud - .90 usd

    traditionally we saw low to mid .70's

    Now in actual monatary value, the us dollar ( depending on location of course ) has a street value of almost $2 aud.

    in general our prices are 2x their US counterpart.
    Makes for a pricey life.

    Let me guess.

    2x the price with similar or lower wages than we get?

    That would be tough.
