minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up15·3 days agoIt’s not bad, rough on the body though. It’s pretty clean in comparison to mine site work in the dirt though

minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 days agoIn Australia you can make a great living from it if you can handle the sacrifices you make. Away from home for 3 to 4 weeks at a time 12 hour shifts with half hour travel each way to and from camp ontop. Most places you do your own laundry but meals are provided. Most of the jobs are also in the hottest most remote parts of Australia too where temperatures routinely reach the high 40s. But you do that and can earn over 200k a year with just an apprenticeship behind you
minus-squarePalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoNot a bad wage for that kind of work. Kinda like working as a merchant marine.
minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoYeah it’s good but it kills families etc but people who make it work are well off, or you do a few years and set yourself up.
minus-squarePalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoI wouldn’t do that job if I had a family.
minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoYeah i gave it up when my wife and I started trying tu have a kid. I only ended up with her though because I was away with work when covid happened and got locked in the wrong side of the country
