Answer: Hey Nick,
It will vary depending on your outstanding bills payable and how much you put down on the car and if you own your home or rent.
Just off the wall, can you believe the prices for vehicles these days? My first house cost under 30K and my first NEW vehicle (73 Chevy Van) was $3600.00

Question: How is the job market for economists and finance professionals in New Zealand?
How is the New Zealand economy currently doing and how is the job market in the area of finance?
I am from US and I will be doing a PhD in Economics in Wellington. I also want to do some consulting work in Accounting And Finance while working on my research.
Thanks.
For Accounting, do you necessarily have to have NZ accounting certification, or a CPA from US will do?
Answer: You're going to Victoria University in Wellington? Ask your supervising Professor, he or she is probably best qualified to answer that.
It will also depend on whether your visa allows you to work in those fields. Generally though, I would think that's a pretty tight market at the moment. To work in accounting in NZ you would need to have NZ accounting certification.
EDIT: About the accounting requirements. You may want to contact the NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants for more details. You will need NZ certification for many accountancy roles (which would require an exam) because of the legal aspect. In some cases you may not. The institute will be able to give you full details. Good luck!
