Telstra called me about 2 months back trying to get me to recontract... I'm 6 months out of contract with a $49 business cap that is working completely fine for me... BUT it's only got 1gb of data... Doesn't really bother me because it's bugged and excess data usage gets absorbed into the $550 of included value :P

The guy on the phone was about 70yo... and he kept saying how he used to work in finance... like 5 times. Good for you buddy, you're working in a call center now though, arent you?

I said to recontract they'd need to increase my data to a usable amount, at no additional cost to me.

He said it wasn't possible and that the best option for me was to buy an ADDITIONAL iPad Contract which came with XXX data/month for only $60... I kept asking if I'd be able to use the data from the ipad contract on my current phone and he kept avoiding the question. So I kept asking if I would be paying more on my phone plan each month than I am now... his response was:

"Your phone plan will stay at $49/month..."

"and how much do I have to pay for 4gb of data on the iPad?"

"Only $60..."

"On top of the cost of my phone plan?"

"Yes."

"So my request was the best option to get a bit more data than 1gb on my phone without paying anything more per month, and your response is that I should pay $109/month for additional data which I cannot use through my phone at all?"

"Yes."

"You should look into a different line of work... Finance clearly didnt work for you, and neither is this..."

*hangup*

Call center staff will say anything for a sale, but this guy was just retarded...

Was also trying to tell me that the Kogan Prepaid Mobile with 12gb of data/month for $199/year wasn't resold through the telstra network... *sigh*

Edit: Oh, that was a lot longer than I planned it to be... on the plus side, it's now past 5pm... HOME TIME BITCHES!

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

you'd be surprised at how little some engineers get paid. you'll also get annoyed at how many businesses write "Engineering" on the side of their vehicles and on business cards who "engineer" stuff, but arent "engineers". like the way you could say McDonalds "engineer" the way their burgers fit into those little boxes (good old days of cardboard rings and manual wrapping, so you knew if the burgers were getting smaller, as oppose to not knowing cause the box makes that difficult). you'll also feel sick when you see people with number plates "NGNEER".

in saying that, you dont need a degree to be an engineer. and i kinda roll my eyes when i meet graduate electrical engineers who have been employed and do rotation for 2-3 years and not actually do anything or contribute to the business.

Meh, simple fix, just refer to yourself as a professional engineer. Anyways engineering is nothing special. You end up becoming a specialist in your field which limits your chances of managing/running a business as you lack the accounting/finance/relationship management skills.

Not saying its impossible, comes down to your personality and street smarts to climb out.

Doctors/lawyers specialise in their field but get paid a packet because they deal directly with individuals.
