    Also need a job

    I think I might dump the IT industry and find something in the motorcycle area,

    Anyone know any jobs going in Auckland with any motorcycle shops??... I want to work on the buggers seeing as they are my new found love, Basically an apprentice position or similar.

    I have no previous experience on them apart from the odd fairing replacement (don't ask ) But am very keen on getting stuck in.
    I am also an A+ Certified Professional in the IT industry, but that doesn't really mean dick in the automotive industry does it

    Cheers.

    Doesn't have to be in the motorcycle area either, just something you guys might have heard or know of. I'm proving too expensive for mum to keep in the house. I need to vacate asap to Whangaparoa or flat in Aucks.

    Any position considered.

    Yer fecking nuts, matey. At the rates you'll get doing that, you'll be spending all day working on bikes you wish you could afford and going home at night to change the oil on your crapped-out GS500 or summat.

    The IT industry sucks, I know, when you're doing nothing but running cables through walls and installing Windows. Go back to uni part-time, get an engineering degree, get a job you'll actually enjoy. In 10 years time you'll have a Ducati in the garage

    nah ant, it aint all that bad, theres so much more then IT.   IT Sucks! Rebel against your parents, join the club and fuck uni   hahahaha! im a nasty piece of work

    well dude i say just have a wee listen to everyone and if you still feel so storngly about doing it, then DO IT! dont go IT just because everyone is jumping up and down about the money etc.

    I deceided against IT and im still happy with everything.. altho odly enuf i have still ended up in IT? hmm.. strange how that happens.. but i will endevour to push away from it yet again soon as i dont fancy sitting infront of computers all day etc... meh, my problem is i lvoe bikes but i know if i worked on them 40+hours a week i might burn out my hobbie.. thats another issue you want to consider.

    Heh? Get out of IT?
    I'm trying to get INTO IT and I couldn't get a decent break at all.
    Can we swap?

    Looks like things are picking up.... I'm now a casual worker for a good reputable PC company (small operation).

    So all I need is another part time job to fill in the blanks and give me a more stable source of income.

    haha I only need to walk 150m to get to work

    Perhaps you could combine your knowledge of computers and your newfound love for motorcyles and learn how to do refuelling and e-proms? Just a thought as I know people who just do that for a living as they make more money with less cost than working in a workshop...

    Just a thought as this angle may make you more desirable for a apprentice.
