Traveling to Australia from US. Need advice on holiday work visa and getting jobs.?
I am looking to travel to Australia in 2 months to travel and make some money. Any advice from US on the visa process and finding the best paying jobs? I hear pearl farming is lucrative...how do you go about getting that? What's the best job their for a US backpacker trying to make money and travel.

If you want a working holiday visa, you need to apply for that BEFORE going to Australia. You cannot just go to Australia and job just...no way would you get a work visa. See site below.

the idea of the work and travel visa is to get casual jobs to supplement your travel,you will not make big money.Pearl farming is a very small industry i doubt you will get anything like that. As am american you can only ever get one work and holiday visa and it last for 1 year and can not be extended

I think that working as a bartender might me a good thing. You wouldn't have a lot of friends there, I assume, so it would be a good opportunity to meet some young people and have fun. Work hours are mostly night and evenings, but it is pretty flexible. Check out this website for local bartending jobs, I found my old job there.
