Yes. So, how does that translate into there only being shortages in areas where people are chosing to get degrees instead? > Maybe your version of English is different from mine! Yeah, mine's the Kings. I'm fucked if I know what yours is. -- Regards, Noddy.

One of my son's apprentices started his apprenticeship at 28, he was a real estate agent making a very good living selling real estate in Melb's beach side suburbs but he got sick of the high pressure and very long hours plus dealing with up themselves rich tossers. He is just starting his 3rd year and making a hell of a lot less than he was selling real estate but now he enjoys his life and when he's fully qualified could make just as much money. Daryl

Good on him. I've known a few people who have gone the other way, like a mate of mine for example who worked as a carpet layer to put himself through law school and is now a Barrister, but I'd imagine there are few around who'd give up the professional world to go blue collar. > He is just starting his 3rd year and making a hell of a lot less than he > was selling real estate but now he enjoys his life and when he's fully > qualified could make just as much money. If he's able to charge anything like the bloke who did the electrical work on my new house does then he'll make shitoads. While they were doing the rough ins (and when they say "rough in" they ain't kidding about the "rough" part :), I marked out ten extra double power points I wanted fitted while they were there. They were happy to do them, and it only took 2 days for the 431 buck variation to arrive in the mail :) -- Regards, Noddy. |
