even administration gets more than $45k on average

(unless they were male administration, in which they would get 30% more)

What's the glorified pa wage like these days?

Guy that stole my bike crashed as well, they caught him but I never heard anything else. The flamin mongrel should of been made to pay my insurance excess.

Bloody oath, I'm surprised your insurance company didn't waive it cause usually when you can identify the third party driver or in this case the thief, they can recoup funds from them and waive the excess.

I got my excess refunded once the guy who stole my car was identified

I should tell the wifey to take up a career in teaching

I should tell the wifey to take up a career in teaching

If she is patient, hard-working, enthusiastic, energetic, fair, positive, caring, organised, dedicated, an effective communicator, loves children, loves learning, wants to spend hundreds of dollars on resources, wants to work most nights and weekends, and wants to make a difference to the lives of children, then yes tell her

You can't do all the course work during work hours?

I have two friends as teachers in WA coincidentally, and it all seems easy breezy

Though this is Primary school. I imagine that High school is a bit different, where you would need quite a bit of techincal knowledge

[Birds]

Like every industry there are people good at it, people bad at if, people who handle things differently and people who put in more work than others, also different companies/organisations who have different expectations etc.

Have heard some teachers who say it's easy, others who say it's not but do it for the love etc.

Chick I know is a high school teacher, she has way more free time than me and she's on decent money.... Doesn't seem to be too stressed /worried about anything...

[dezz]

And people in here are talking like ambos just drive a bus around... They might be the only thing keeping you alive one day... You'd wanna hope they're not too pre occupied with their shit wages...

No; an effective teacher can not just work during school hours.

Reports alone take up a month of work every night/weekends

Preparation for the week and assessment/marking takes all day for me Sunday, and this isn't just me, most of the teachers at the school I work at are here on the weekends.

Primary teaching is much more complicated than high school; you need to be prepared for seven learning areas - content and resources, high school is one learning area which you repeat the lesson for

My ex-wife was a RN, I understand the skills they have.

But a lot of people have skills.

70k+ is not necessarily a shit wage, to the extent of protesting and writing about how you need more money all over the work vehicle that your employer provides.

[dezz]

It's not a 9-5 job... If that's their wage for nights weekends long shifts and on call, it's shit

Let's remember that a) 70k is far from a shit wage b) they willingly chose the job no gun to their head

If ambos work as estimated 148 days a year @ 70k they are making approx $470 a day so tell me how they should be carrying on about shit wages

not justifying anything.

but do remember that is not a 8 hour day, usually 12.5-13 hour day.

so that drops the $per hour quite a bit.

If there's a shortage of ambos, increase the pay, if there are too many, keep it the same

Isn't that how every other industry works when it boils down to it? Supply and demand? Ala FIFO

[Kinkstaah]

Yes, except the issue is 'where does the pay come from'

That's fine apart from the problem of its not private enterprise its government money ... A quick glance at labors promises shows they have zero possibility of fulfilling them all given how little money is available

It's really a wider issue the federal gov has the same problem the age of entitlement will destroy australia

Always winners and losers in an election

Though I do think health and education need to be number one and yet they are always the industries you hear about cuts being made in, whilst we continue to blow money on huge sporting events and luxuries etc.

+1 I would indeed hope that someone who has CHOSEN such a career path wouldn't be a selfish flog and let someone die because they are busy pissing and moaning about earning at least $40 per hour
