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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
