ring remote area concrete, $60 / hour under ABN. they have about 10 years worth of concreting to do. concrete poured in the Pilbara costs $1000 / cubic meter.

if you don't mind being a drillers offsider, i could probably get you a start, but a 4 weeks on 2 off roster, clear about $1800 / week when working.
it would be great to have someone here that i could POWER talk to all day about holdens and get paid for it.

For a living ... I get to play with Harleys all day, I've been selling bits 'n' pieces for them for 30+ years now and still lovin it.

For pocket money (Sandman/Monaro funding) ... I go tiling with my son doing cashies on weekends.

For no money ... hmmm strange how I always seem to end up working on mates cars for very little or no reward. :Chin:

I'm part time stay-at-home dad, part time jack-of-all-trades and fulltime collector of stuff.
The missus pays most of the bills with a highly paid government management job.

In the past have been a Service Manager at a motorcycle dealership, trades assistant in a panel shop and a Rental Car detailer/ supervisor.

worked as Agronomist (agricultural scientist) for over a decade recommending fertilisers , chemicals and varieties to farmers for Elders / Wesfarmers etc). Was a great job for finding old holdens.

But Agriculture can't compete with mining for $$

now work as a FIFO Mining environmental scientist North of Kalgoorlie.


enjoy being an unlicenced dodgy backyard wrecker on the side

I went to Orange Ag after I left school. Nearly finished and then went home to the farm. I did heaps of rousabouting and wool classing as well. Then went overseas and worked as drill helper in the oil fields in Canada. As a picker for Warner Bros in London for 3 days, then back to farm hand in the UK for 18 months.
Back to the farm, then took over managing it for the last 7 years.
I am currently chasing a mining job as well. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Love this thread, its very interesting to see what everyone does for a living.
