I clear around 1050 for a 38 hour week...and I figure in another 5 years or so it may make up for the sh*t pay I earnt being silly enough to do 2 apprenticeships but they have been out of the way for a while now....got early release from motorcycle app after 2 1/2 yrs coz I couldnt afford to live on 140 a week then jumped straight into welder/fabricator to earn the same amount first year but more potential later in life...if it werent for this damned recession my side business would still be making me another 1000 a week on the side to double the weekly earnings....DAMN YOU RECESSION!!!!!!!!
