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

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
