if you push it, sure

sounds like someone needs an r32 gts4 with an automagic...

[HEKT1K]

but your engine isnt a ratty old 4 cylinder taken from a scrap yard is it?

Close enough.

[dezz]

it has nothing to do with it being domestic

What else does it have to do with?

I can't think of ANY other job that makes so little (apart from other first year apps on a similar award)

[R-SPEC]

my boss is my dad. $200 per week is enough spending money for me at the moment. if i need extra cash i just ask for it

i bought a house last year that i'm renting out to some relatives and i'm also getting 30-40K towards my next car (assuming i sell the 34 for atleast 10K) so i'm not complaining

but otherwise yes $200 is too low even for first years

[Mohsen]

your selling your r34 for 10k? Are you positively annoyed friend?

[funkymonkey]

Thought you'd be on a shit load more than that...I make that and I don't even work 40hours a week...

I work in publishing, so I get crap pay compared to industry standard. but the workplace rocks so I'm happy. plus there's loads of benefits like phone, car allowance, free flights interstate, working from nz, singapore, hong kong, malaysia, UK or india when I want etc.

i dunno, for me I have to be in a place where I wake up in the morning and feel like goin to work everyday, otherwise I'll just quit. luckily my skills are leet enough that I'll get headhunted, but still, I care not for paypackets, I care more about job satisfaction.

I wouldn't be complaining if I was getting $40k given to me either...It is satisfying earning everything for myself though. But if it's family business and you get whatever cash you need when you need it anyway, then doesn't really matter how little you get paid for working... As for first years, ~$300 seems to be the going rate in domestic, which is why I can't work domestic. You and your dad need a first year or what? If so we'll talk numbers

It's auto and he's after a quick sale...

Yeah I'm not trying to say my job is better... I get paid a lot but it's not a career (you can make a decent career in the industry, and I could have gone down that path 5 years ago but I chose not too). If you can enjoy your job and make decent money then you're set. It's all well and good to say you love a job, but if you get paid $30k a year, I don't give a f**k how much you love it, almost no-one can survive on that.

$95,000 TGR with benefits. Wouldnt be complaining either

What would the industry average be then?

[Astro Bear]

I was making 50k a year as a full time student at 20, and charged 3k for a days work consulting, that was good haha. A few years later and I've left the industry and I make 50% off what I used to. Doesnt matter to me though because I'm 100% happier. Funny how that works. I think the psychological term is 'affluenza'.

Discussing about careers eh?

I'm in need of one but don't have any idea what I want though.

So it'll be a while when I can be bothered to do anything useful seeing everything I tried leads me straight to brick wall...

Currently forcing foods into shelves and telling 'tourists' where's this where's that, not fancy but it pays so can't complain.

think it's 100k once you include super as well. not sure, haven't looked at my contract since I threatened to quit about 8 months ago.

for what I do, in melb its about right, but in syd I should be sittin on 120k.

[R-SPEC]

i said atleast 10K

I wouldn't be complaining if I was getting $40k given to me either...It is satisfying earning everything for myself though.

i wouldn't say the 40K are given to me, i did work for most of it. i could've got ~$400/week, take away the $200 "spending money" and save the other $200 which would add up to almost 30K over the last 3 years. sometimes at the end of the week if i still have some cash left i don't take any money from him at all. i'm just gonna spend it on pointless shit anyway... but yeah being a family business definitely helps alot

hmmmz he's not looking for more workers at the moment but i'll let him know anyway

[Mohsen]

don't buy a VIV car you fucking knobgobbler. It needs to be fixed, then go through a VIV inspection by an engineer etc. too much hassle.

my current golf wasn't hail damaged, the one I bought just before this was, kept it for a week, then flipped it for profit and bought this one.

[R-SPEC]

perfect weather right now. so tempted to go for a drive but epic cbf..
