Live Your Dream Competition!

[RubyRS4]

Anyone seen the Farmers Union competition where you can win a year off (valued at $52K)?

I find this funny, because if I took a year off for the $52K, I'd be losing out I could always just collect the prize money and keep working, but I thought the scenario of me taking time off work funny.

Obviously the Farmers Union marketing department thinks people earning under $50K p.a. are the only ones to drink their milk products.

So ... who here drinks Farmers Union products and earn under $50K?

[Damo_R34]

You may be paid less than a year of working but I would hardly say this is losing out!!!

I would love to get paid 52k to do f*#kall. Hell... I'd settle for just getting weekends off!!

A lot of construction workers are easily on over 50k per year.

Steel framing for example you can quite comfortably pull in 70-80k.

Construction there is quite good money.

Maybe factory workers drink more ice coffee. :S

Nah, I'd be losing moe than you'd think you would. I'd also be spending more if I had nothing to do. At least work keeps me busy and I don't buy crap ... well not much anyway

But I can see where you are coming from. I was once a factory worker earning under $20K once upon a time

= $1,095 per year. Do you claim that back around tax time?

I'd press to win the $52K and then add the $1,095 to your winnings for reimbursement!

Just think too, it only took 50 guys like you to fund this competition!

[craig R33]

ha ha too true...it would be good if i could claim it back on tax.. would have my new rotors in no time lol

[typevu]

I like an ice coffee here and there... I prefer warm home made coffee though especially in winter.

[craig R33]

[Krishy]

I earn close to that mark......and i am lactose intolerant so its a big no no for me....ahh well i would rather work for what i am getting now then have a year off and not do anything.....but thats just me.....work, play and party hard......

[HOSTILE]

pepsi is cadbury schweppes now right?

Yep thats right... hence why I no longer work there!! Schweppes already had all their staff, so pepsi boys got the shaft!!
