Living the dream buddy It's easy to be negative and it flows on but it's taken ages from when it got pointed out from an apprentice by all people why I was always on the negative side of things vs positive and I made a changeThe amount of times I get home and say I had a great day is well on the up over the typical "yeh chit normal crap day"What's to be negative about we live in Australia and we have jobs ( cept don cause won lotto ( shussss don't tell any one ) ) Even if it does get better than that it's still right up there as far as a life style goes especially compared to most other places 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about that industry but from all the talk it sounds like at least $250-300k a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Nah, halve that then subtract 30pc and you'd be a little closerProtip mining industry professionals aren't the guys telling you they are on 300k. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol.Some of the shutdown type contractors doing 4/1 rosters and crazy sh*t like that CAN earn the equivalent of that sort of money...but it's not necessarily consistent work, and definitely not sustainable.As Ralph said, professional roles in mining don't pay as much as people outside of the industry seem to think. We do tend to get better conditions and rosters though. Even then, there's definitely a bunch of the underground workers on my site who'd earn a whole bunch more than me, but they're the crusty dudes who have been stuck working underground working their way up for a decade or more. Base trucky wage on my site would probably work out to around $90k a year for working 2 weeks on (a week of night shift, then a week of day shift), 1 week off. And that's driving a f*cking truck up and down in complete darkness for 12 hours a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
