And when you consult with any education agent for study in Australia, the majority of them will not only suggest but also push you to join Information Technology, Nursing or Accounting courses. Because, till today majority of education consultancies and consultants think Information Technology, Nursing and Accounting are major occupation categories that lead toward permanent residency in Australia.
