Our future is rather depressing at the moment. I try not to think about it and just hope to make it out the other side kind of intact

Yeah, until all the boomers retire. Admittedly that brings a whole different set of problems but at least employment won't be an issue, everyone, world wide, will be SCREAMING for skilled employee's.

They already are. Yet what they want and what they perceive they can get are totally out of whack.

Eg: client wants a male manager with experience managing a $1.2M fee base. They want to pay this person $120k. A number of our competitors have offered then the world and said that they will find this person. This person doesn't exist. Even at big 4 accounting firms, someone on $150k will only be looking after a $800k portfolio - tops! This is a major issue at the moment.

Imagine this issue when 22-36% of the most skilled and experienced of the total workforce in the western world retire over the next 10-15 years. Combine this with low to negative birth rates in many western nations and we are in for one hell of a ride.

There aren't enough of the little jerks. By 2050 there will be at best 1.3 people in the work force for every retired person in Australia. In 1970 it was closer to 10:1. Skill up now boys and gals, it's going to be a sellers market in a few years :) That's why my plan is to go straight into a part time masters degree as soon as I have a real job again.


It's going to be fun :)

I have to back up Tony on that one. For 1.2m worth of client based I would want to be paid a hell of a lot more than $120k or at the very least become a partner for managing that size base.

The question isn't to whisky or not. The question is, which whisky?

already cracked open a beer!

Ants come to the monthly meeting :)

have to do it another Zacy. Plus it's rather far away for me :/

Got some of my home brew

Girly drinks don't count Chris.

Dont fool yourself with that Andrew. The way I see it once you have secured a job you like keep it and then move from there. Masters degrees and other post grads education can wait as they mean jack crap if you don't apply it.

I don't have a single degree to my name, I have people who have degree's working for me and I make a fairly decent sum (6 figures). I have 17 year experience in what I do and can run rings around any book trained person I have ever met in my field.

Degrees are a nicety but not essential if you have proven experience and letters of recommendation from heavy hitters in the industry to prove you know what your on about, If the opportunity is presented to up skill at the company's expense (watch for the strings) jump on it. Sometimes learning how to be more personable and learning how to present complex things in layman's terms will get you a lot further in life than a fancy suit and a degree.

What are you doing your degree in? or is it a double?

Double degrees bro, business and commerce majoring in leadship/management and finance. Have been out of the hot seat (uni) for a year now. I feel my brain is going to waste although I like the money :)

Hitting up futurama pizza cc and dry while all the shit carnts are at the meeting

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
