fair point but ill try perhaps offer some insight.. while everyone else gets 1 or 2 days off per week no matter what im lucky to get 1, i can usually count on a half a day sure there is plenty of flexibility in my hours but working till 8-9pm is standard just think if u were to sell ur house are you going to take time off to meet with me? not likely so i have to sacrifice my "personal time or time with the family" to accomodate you at all sorts of hours if you call you expect me to answer no matter if its 9pm friday night or my "day off" rain hail or shine we have to work put signs out do opens, yeh it all sounds whingy and stuff but believe me not many people last in real estate for a reason its a c*nt of a job and the money makes you think its worth while but if i added up the hours i work my hourly rate would be average at best and when i get buyers/vendors abusing the crap out of me cos they cant afford a house or missed out cos they took to long to make an offer or their house isnt sold because they read the herald sun so it must be worth 50k above market it sucks...
but i do agree science and things is underrated here bad, my best mates sister is an aero space engineer chance of getting a job in this country barely exists so it doesnt seem right
there are soo many ways to make a lot of money in this country given that australians are a fairly lazy nationality by comparison its not hard to rise above the masses, and just for the record im as australian as you will find born and bred but i have met so many people i am confident that is an accurate statement.. look at all the 7-11s owned by indians they make a fair load of coin, why? cos aussies are "too good" to do that.. all a bit off topic anyways emsta be more practical then wanting to like what you do focus on what you want in life and select the best vehicle to get you there/those things then you will be happy regardless work is work.
