Come on guys, get on it... You know how these things normally go, once we hit 5 or 6 people on the thread it starts to snowball into a big thing

how is that allowed? I know electrician apprentices often get shit-all, but a quick check on PayCheck Plus for full-time junior apprentice is over $15 an hour. i dun geddit.

Tell that to the thousands being made redundant

its sad thats theres so many positions disappearing, but not much different from food or manufacturing industry.

That is a really chitty pay mate

Don't know how they pay you less than a bloke that just flips burgers

How many years before you on a normal wage of say $50K p.a?

[UNR33L]

My first job in a call centre was $19 an hour I think :\ (20 years old)

Pretty shitty job too.

I worked weekends for time and a half and they had some 'issues' (bugs) with the payroll system so ended up on about 64k p.a

Terrible job though quit under a year.

at least you get paid something while you learn, unlike dem uni fees.

Yeah there's a difference between Uni + Part Time Job and Full Time and getting paid the same amount for twice the hours... Normally not left with a $30,000 debt at the end of it though I suppose

Still have to pay for tafe doe.

Edit: and really I learnt just as much about a different field as a labourer earning 50k a year. Spending a week at tafe out of every month although paid is for the most part a massive waste of time. Units rated at 60 hours and such really only take maybe 2 hours to complete and then the rest of the day is spent sitting twiddling thumbs waiting for a teacher who's busy with other students (because classes are far too large and teachers are far too few so the tafe stays profitable) to sign you off so you can go onto the next assesment.

tafe with healthcare card like 200 dorrar aint it?

Completely different industry, never done any overtime as a mechanic.Although I'm sure it happens some places in my experience everyone seems rather more concerned with packing up 15 mins before knock off.
