    that's Good, but I need a company from Down under that will actually take in entry level geologists: I haven't found any there. I have already done all the other things you suggest, but it doesn't seem to help one way or another.

    When I graduated in Exploration Geophysics oil price was down and gold was going below $300 dollars an ounce. 90% of exploration staff were layed off.

    I still got work because i parlayed my farm life experience into practical field work.

    Short Term:
    So be prepared to take an entry level exploration job.
    Your language skills may make it easier to work in the ME.
    Get fit. I mean seriously fit. I spent 2hrs a day, 6 days a week in the gym between exploration contracts. Make sure you can hike for 10-12 hrs.
    Send your resume and what you are looking for to all the usual suspects. Ie Rio Tinto, BHP, Schlumberger and the little exploration outfits. Email, cold call, visit their offices.
    Look at even non-geo mining jobs as fillers as it will show industry interest.
    Use seek.com.au

    Long Term:
    With your earnings pay off the debts. Mining is cyclical. In the down periods use your cash reserves to get educated.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
