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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
