I wouldn't advise CA for someone in crippling debt, it's the kind of place you need money to make money.

I only say this cos a friend of mine, who has been trying to make a go of it out there fore the past 18 years, has finally had to leave up to his eyes in debt.And he was a long haul lorry/truck driver.
Granted his ex didn't help.
Anyway now he is 40 and in his friends spare bedroom. And I am not sure he still has his car even.

By all means go, but maybe not put all your eggs in one basket.
Go for a reccy, have a good look around, check out the price of living etc.
Oh and do some fun stuff too....That doesn't involve getting involved.
Best of luck, really hope you land on your feet.
