I had this but gave it up for experience & challenge

Nothing worse than being bored/comfortable at work within your peak years. This is the time to explore, challenge and make mistakes.

Work to live or live to work.

I prefer to be challenged at work as long as its paid well. Hence why I'm off to the mines.

9days @ 12hrs & 5 days off.

Come at me brah

yeah each to there own, I consider myself lucky I like what I do, am good at it and earn a decent enough quid out of it.

Median wage for 2012 I think is about $50,000

Or $60,000 for full time employees

Still quite high imo

You can live quite comfortably if you were a couple on $60k each. That's if you dont have a big arse mortgage

The Min wage to wait on tables full time, is 44k/yr or 47.5/k if you add in the super. That doesn't include any overtime etc.

Even that wage isn't bad as a couple to be basically on 90k combined if you are living/working out in the burbs. Agree CBD travel would suck to the outers (40mins+ on train for eg if you chose to do that)

This country is f**king wages insane.

Exactly

Money should never be the only motivator for work because the high will wear off and you will be working more hours making you even more depressed.

Motivator should be doing what you like and expecting the company to provide the respect and recognition of what you put in.

That way both parties win.

not a smoker myself.

oh so hookers then :P

infact I was planning on watching Anthony bourdain's the layover for Amsterdam tonight!

cool... good episode that one... his constant statements about not being stoned are classic

look into the houseboat idea

My view has always been people in this country are overpaid for a lot of jobs.

My base rate at my old job was 55k per year and i had a f**ktonne more responsibility than someone waiting on a table for only 9k difference!

I couldnt/wouldnt work in hospitality. Plenty of other jobs with less skills and shitloads more bludging, I think waiting on a table earns their dollar (in some restaurants) and thats why i dont tip :P

Agree with this. I don't know what people do with their money...blow it on unnecessaries, alcohol on the weekend, or overseas trips? Would love to see some monthly budgets!

When I was working a 40k a year job and my mate was on 80k, we were both living at home and both putting away 2k a month in savings...go figure!!!

I understand inflation and cost of living rising, but it's been slower than the wages surely. We now have office secretary / admin roles bringing 60k to the table and people still think that's too low. How can people feel they deserve so much for so little? Still have 50k planted in my head as a decent salary from when I was a kid lol. If people can't get by on 100k combined these days, they either have some serious addictions, or are living way outside their means / have high expectations about what it means to be a young couple.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
