As a school teacher in NSW earning $54K, I would like to know where I can get a teaching job with a high salary. I would be happy to move there. As for the holidays, teachers still work during the school holidays - programs, reports, coordinating the next term's events and more. Honestly, there is a lot more work to teaching than people think, and the salary is just living wage, especially if you have a family to support.
{"Plenty of sicky"} - try staying well while being coughed on and wiping noses each day!
{"no risk on the failure of students ... job protection"} - want a bet! Have you hear of performance pay? It is just around the corner!
Sorry, just had to point those things out. There is so much more to this occupation, so much people don't realise is involved. It is definitely not a 9-3 job, and if anyone was going to enter teaching because of the financial gains, then they would be making a big mistake. Just as an aside, I have a sister who used to work for a supermarket chain. She was making the same money as me! Maybe teachers in Western Australia are paid more???
I am also a school teacher in the NSW system
I have found that the way to make good money is to work as a casual during the day (and be on call) and to work in the evening and on Saturdays at a private coaching college - I regularly have mornings off and make a reliable 100k +
Anyone know if mining jobs are still hot? so an article in The Australian today about a HR Manager working as a truck driver. Been through the links here but most seem to apply to WA. what about QLD, anyone in the industry and can give me some pointers of how to get in on the action and wether it is worthwhile? Thanks
As a truck driver or something else?
tis gonna be interesting times when the mining cools of and all these extra trained professionals and tradies etc are clambering over eachother to keep their job...there's a fair amount of people coming in on work visa's and permanant residency as well....it wont heppen over nite but it will heppen....make sure you dont burn your bridges b4 u come to the bright lights of a boomtown.
I can always go back to what I am doing now. Besides I've been burnt in IT. Just thought it might be worth a shot, still reckon they may be a few years left in the boom
Look at Thiess, Roche, BMA, Leightons web sites and you should get the information you need there.
I don't work in the trucks, I work at the plants (Tradesman).
Most of the mining companies now have trainee courses and also there is a place in Queensland (not to sure where) where you can get your dump truck, D11 and so on qualifications. It will cost about 4k-5k.
There is plenty going on with new mines coming on board with a 10-15 year life, the job section in the main paper on Saturdays is as thick as a brick, with the majority for mining.
Take the last reply with a grain of salt, unless you work in the industry you really don't know the full details of what is happening! Good luck!
thanks mexican
Plenty work around, for shut works and new mines. Port expansions also. With the mining and infastructure to be done in NTH Queensland you have more work than you can poke a stick at!just wondering, what the chances for ta are like? used to be a sparky ta years back... any work?
Another option is North west Tasmania, alot going on down there and if you want to earn really good tax free US$, White energy got some contracts in India to mine clean coal tech with Thiess (SUB CONTRACTOR)running the mine and wash plant!hi,
I am considering a career change. I have no experience in the mining industry.
I am just wondering what the best place to go for a level entry into the mining industry.
What wages I should expect, and what sort of shifts.
I take it going somewhere remote would attract the highest wages.
anyone looked into this.
I have heard unskilled workers getting $2000 a week for work.
any truth?
I've always wanted a $500 an hour job...
I work for them - I teach 6 classes and have 8 private students on a weekly basis - basically every weekday evening + Saturday
hey never thought of that happy!! another great idea. thanks mate.
