So... maybe the Irish are paying top wages for your skills?

classic catch 22, just use your experience and accomplishments at your current job on the resume. Some smart company will take a chance and be rewarded.

How many years have you been at this job?
Couldn't you just stay there for 3 years and then find something else, to get your time in?
My best friend is having the same problem. She's getting her doctorate in psychology but can't find a job anywhere that doesn't want something ridiculous like 5 years experience. I say, between all her jobs and her intership and practicum and all that, she's had far more than that. But, of course, they only count the experience AFTER you get your degree.

Not sure it counts, since it's experience in a Job I wouldn't want to move on to. I won't get a better paid job doing the same thing as I'm doing now.

Oh no, please don't steal his hat! I really like his hat. It's kind of Indiana Jonesy. Very dashing.
I'd promise to make him behave, but you can tell I have no control over the man.

I've actually just been looking on CW Jobs, there's loads I could do, a subset of which I could get because I can prove I can do them on paper, and none, so far, I'd want to do.
Truth be known I'd don't want to do my current job, the works okay and I like the people I work with, it's just not what you might call fullfilling. The only reason I'm still there is because I get a lot of time to do whatever the hell I like and be paid for it, but that's starting to change and they're heaping loads of extra paper work on me, which I hate. Lack of paper work was one of the reasons I was attracted to this job in the first place, now that's all changing.
The thing that really gets to me is that the jobs that take some brains and creativity, like programming, unless you're head programmer don't pay fantastically well. But monkey work like data modelling (I found it pretty easy, if incredibly boring at Uni) pay big bucks.
So, if anyone's got the winning national lottery ticket I promise to put you all up in my mansion and we can make money in our spare time making Firefly episodes.
