    I used to think USA states were similar to Australia’s, but once I learned more I realised it’s a lot closer to Europe and the states are a lot more like separate countries. Different towns and regions within the states also seem to be a lot more distinct and seem to be closer to what our states are.

    Minimum wage for carers is a good thing, as is the training. The carer’s pension here is a bit less than minimum wage (although once you add in a few bonuses and extra assistance if you are renting it gets pretty close). I haven’t seen any training even available for elder care (outside of courses for people seeking actual employment).
