Some people want to spend their megre earnings on smokes and take away food also, that is also their right, same as not wanting to get an education.

Nobody is saying that someone who works in McDonalds should eat dirt, but if McDonalds isn't paying enough for someone to afford living in Sydney, then that person needs to re assess their situation.

One of my sons ran off the rails and at 27 started an apprenticeship, after much self induced drama he finished it seven years later.

He now works in a remote town, it was too expensive and competitive in Perth, so now he relocated to a country town, saving for a deposit on a house in Perth.

Also gaining experience in his work, which will help him get work back in Perth, when he relocates.

I really can't see any other way of getting ahead, other than expecting a lotto win or a handout.

When I mention remote areas, I am suggesting areas of low unemployment, this normally is associated with Northern Australia.

Not Southern Australia, where 95% of the population want to live, it's the other 70% of Australia where no one wants to go.

Plenty of opportunity up there, just not many want to go there.
