Another exciting Oz job...OR...!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

For those who could fancy a 2 - 3 year break, make lots of money and learn more

about Australia then from yesterday's 'Independet' (UK) newspaper it appears the

work opportunities in Australian Mines and Construction sites are open and

ongoing, more work than people to do it...mainly driving very big truck -

bobcats or loaders.

 

For those interested then after a two week training course you get the keys to a

$4 million truck (yellow) and start earning over $200,000 a year...some places

are week/week or 2/2 - fly-in-fly-out with board and lodging.....tax is around

38% and living costs are high, (buy a campervan), but over $200,000 a year for

a couple of years is pretty good, get a break from medical stuff and also a

truck driving licence.

 

This is on the up and up as you can read it yourselves....pretty amazing and by

all accounts more young females are taking the challenge as not so many Oz chaps

care for the effort...they are the ones who join the MUA to spend time offshore

checking their bank accounts and watching TV...!

 

Were I a bit younger...(as young as Mike Riordan!)...I would give it a go but

also keep my medical certs in date....and live in Thailand...bit less expensive.

 

Cheers
