Job situation in Australia

[forum poster]

Where you going to exactly. Some places you can do OK just working in a supermarket. Hopefully you don't smoke because we have the highest priced cigarettes in the world now and they just increased again.

Going there where the work is

Not in a position to pick and choose or complain

I would start by asking myself what I want to do, researching it, and determining the best, realistic plan for getting there, before uprooting to halfway across the globe to a pile of uncertainty. Especially if not a kid anymore.

This. Sounds like TS is where he is because of making moves like this instead of planning for the future.

 

[Midnighter]

If you're willing to slang some dick you'll never be out of a job.

Will admit, have a thing for just winging it and this thread was created out of nothing to lose attitude.

Tends to happen when you dont expect to live past 25 though i still really cant plan anything because buying a house in here is impossible,having a family is impossible (for me), i can work and make money but ultimately money gives me no joy.

So im looking elsewhere

25 is not old. With your issues and current outlook you could end up mentally ill or disabled with no one to care for you and just a homeless bum on the street.

Unless you're planning to kill yourself it's a terrible idea to live your life expecting to die young. What's preventing you from learning a trade?

For the record, based on your posts ITT the problem is you and not your environment. Try changing yourself instead.

I have a trade, i used to be an electrician but i wasnt really good at it, only reason i wasnt fired was because i came to work sober and was willing to work without breaks for food or anything, to fix my mistakes /catch up on schedule

Also pay was not worth the stress , i made about 25k a year as an electrician

The die young part comes from growing with homeless as a teen,hence my av

Well if you don't want to go back to that life I recommend picking a trade you are actually good at. Something you can do as you get older. Physical labor ain't it.

 

[God_Emperor_Of_Mankind]

What if im a shit cunt but can still work 7 days a week 12 hours a day and not complain?

Then you should be fine anywhere.If your capable of that I think your opinion of yourself is miskewed a bit. Keep your head down, be respectful,if things don't go well look elsewhere but don't be an asshole to anyone. Everyone will not like you but they will respect you.

You must have been a level or journeyman electrician?. Electricians make a LOT of money if they are working as hard you claim you are willing to work.

Why not go back and try that route again? Are you not understanding the work? Maybe you need personal tutoring from a different electrician or for the school work.

im not in america, in here experienced guys make 36k

i understood all the basics of electricity,electrical plans and all that, how to install lights,switches etc problem was no matter how i tried,shit would always come out fucked up hence not keeping breaks to fix mistakes and to catch up on schedule.i have a thing that which average guy learns in 6 months. it takes me to learn a year and this creates a problem in trades since things have to be on schedule and nobody has time for screw ups.

im still not jumping anywhere but im in mid 20s and future does not look bright in academic/career nor in social sense so im thinking of options

 

[RetiredSlave]

Assume a new identity (due to assumed criminal record) and apply for high profile security jobs. From everything Ive read youd be good at it. You seem like a good dude to me, loyalty is a premium trait. I havent seen the documentary but bodyguarding worked out really well for Kevin Costner I think, he will always be loved. GL up in this ho Mr. Train.

 

[mooseman17]

I would say come to Canada and go directly to Alberta, but I think the criminal record may be an issue?

I actually dont have a record, village didnt have cops and in early twenties in capital i wasnt caught except for weed when smoking it during new year

 

[Bacco]

Have you considered Germany?

Here in Italy i've ear very often about Italians going up there and getting paid MUCH more for manual labor compared to same job here

 

[cheesus]

Most jobs here are through social networking, rarely advertised. You be making well over 100k as an unskilled labourer on union commercial construction or big civil construction jobs however, they're very rarely advertised.

If you're looking at going down that path and have some experience, best of getting some tickets, putting your resume through an expression of interest through the larger construction mobs.

 

[AngryWeasel]

Just go take a white pornstar job in Japan already.

That or the milking scorpion thing.

 

[cheesus]

My cousin was a Union Boilermaker here in the U.S. and said he couldn't get any work in Sydney. They don't look kindly on foreign workers apparently. I wish the best for you I'm just relaying what I was told.

Not entirely true, Chinese & Indian contractors are very popular here on temp work visa, not so much European as they are not as desperate to prostitute themselves for a poor wage.

 

[dildos]

fuck off we are full.

 

[DarkneT]

Would not say good because then i would not have to do this kind of stuff

Im just getting older and reaching the point where things being "normal" is more unlikely every year

Nz sounds ok, been thinking about uk as well

you’d get construction work in the UK without a shadow of a doubt
Fuck i would employ you at the moment

but I wouldn’t recommend living here to my worst enemy so there’s that
