You should remember that a lot of people work bloody hard for their money $14ph or $100ph.

I find comments like I wouldnt get out of bed for xxx insulting to the people that actually do.

I earn more than a tad more than that - but If I had no income coming in - Id do it without issue.

It's just a saying no offence meant. You will either get offended or not personally I can't stop that. I find that people will take offence to things I think are funny and on the flip side of that i can find things offensive that other people find funny.

For what it is worth (sorry bad pun) vet nurses get paid about the same, $14 per hour. And generally, they have studied at polytech first 1-2 years. Just for comparison's sake.

I was reflecting on this thread, and I was going to make jokes about it, but then I got to thinking.

Without getting all introspective or whatever, it strikes me that there are some on this site who are fortunate enough that we've got enough bucks to have enough freedom to do stuff without too much worry and hassle. If the dog needs to go to the vet, I don't need to think about the bill, and I can afford to keep a couple of bikes plus a serious amount of pies.

My point is, that here in this country, there are a lot of people who are living above, or below the breadline by a margin. Now, I have no time whatsoever for dole bludging fuckwits (and if that's you, get off your lazy arse), but it strikes me that there are a significant number of people that earn $14 per hour and work hard for it.

I worked for everything I have, and so I respect the guys who are working at Subway to pay for their rent, and the guys at the servo, and the people who bust their asses to give me speeding tickets... :)

Good call. My wife earns $12/ph, and works hard for it. I'm on more than double, but I don't work any harder than she does.

But from what I've seen, working in finance, it doesn't matter what you earn. It's what you do with it. I've seen people on 6 figure salaries struggling, & people on $25k who are saving a good part of the wages each week, and living comfortably.

How I read that ad is that it is a job for a young person with no particular qualifications and no experience - yet.

A lot of job ads used to say "experience needed" and if kids didn't have any experience they couldn't get any. A Catch 22 situation.
So to get that rate of pay and gain experience at the same time isn't a bad deal at all. Much better than sitting at home on the dole.

The only job where you start at the top is when you are digging a hole.

Sorry mate went off line there !
Well down this way outfits like allied workforce etc hire ppl for jobs Temp and permanent pay them so much, but get paid a few bucks more than that by the crowd who need the staff , its how they make profit from it !
Lot of employers like it as they dont have to worry about redundancies, sick pay ! Problems laying shit heads off who cant work to save emselves !!
Good for the bigger construction firms who need labourers for the early stages but then don't need as many grunts in later stages, so they use workforce labour ! Workers get 14 an hour , allied and the like get 3 or 4 buck for every hour you work, employers have no hassles ! everyone wins rrrr sort of !
If ya bypass the workforce crowd and figure who it would be that needs staff like some have mentioned who they think might be looking, on here ! If ya walk in off the street with some good refs and cv etc, could be a chance they might like the look of ya and flag going through workforce !
Lot of employers like going through them though cause they dont have to fuck round doing interviews and vetting ppl etc !

We all work for our livings (except those lucky enough to be living on trustee funds :niceone:) and from my experience those earning less usually work alot harder for it.

More power to them... and just think of the levels of passion involved for a low income earner to afford his new bike compared with your trader buying the latest kit with his bonearse!!!!!

Maybe, but often those that earn more often work a lot smarter for it.

At the end of the day it is not the work you do or how much you make doing it that matters, what matters is that you spend you money of motorbikes and your spare time riding!

It sounds like someone who is willing to do what they can for their money is more deserving of your pay than you are. You'd rather be a dole bludger than work if it meant you actually had to work?
And remember.. you have to start somewhere, I'm only on $12.50 at the moment cause I'm an apprentice.

this sounds like a job for a student/new to the workforce type person. To me thats sounds like a heap of money if your straight out of school. I would've been stoked with that sort of cash when I first rocked out of school. I was on a stinking $7.50phr when I first started my apprenticeship, but I managed to get by & worked my arse off to get to where I am now. I don't work as hard as I used too but I've got the knowledge I need & I work smarter.

Good on ya van for giving it a go work hard & you'll see the rewards:niceone:

Same here,started out as an apprentice clothing cutter(what)when we had a viable industry 30yrs ago,first wage cheque was $87.00 less tax $12.00(thanks Muldoon),out of the $75.00,mum got $10 board,myself kept $15,banked $50 per week,end of year had nearly $2000 saved,in todays terms would mean saving say $20000 per year,yeah right lol.

My first job after leaving school paid me the princely sum of $108 per week - or $2.70 per hour! And I was thrilled! The dole at that stage was about $43 I think.

When I was working as a senior photographer on a local paper back in 2001 I was only earning $27,000 a year (about $13 per hour). I went from there to a call centre where I earned $11 an hour. I've temped at between $14 and $20 per hour but am now self-employed and my charge-out rate varies between $25 per hour and $100 per hour depending on the work, with the bulk of it at $65 per hour. Sounds great but I don't work 40-hour weeks - mostly I work two or three days a week - so the yearly rate isn't comparable. I've also invested hugely in upskilling, so in the past few years I have coughed up more than $10,000 to complete diplomas to improve my chances of gaining work.

But when I have been desperate for money when I first started my business, I was happy to work for any rate of pay. I'm lucky now that I can pick and choose my work (but I rarely turn any down, only the stuff I really, really don't want to do) but if I couldn't do what I do now and had to get a 'real' job, then I'd take what I could get - at least to start with.

$14 an hour for an unskilled worker isn't that bad. A friend works in retail and doesn't get much more and he's been in the job for years. There would probably be perks attached to the job, like staff discounts too.
