oh but they "need" an 18% payrise

Good thing I have the pre-requisites to become one (year 10) according to metro site

Seriously though at what point do you just take up a boring as batshit job purely on the basis of being hugely overpaid? lol

theres plenty of those people going around. and theyre usually dumb as dog shit and dont get any further in a career. what would your train driving ambitions be? pilot the Ghan? do the Geelong goods train run? save up all your pennys and make a model train set? walk around the streets in your old age pestering people about your years as a train driver? subscribe to those awful train magazines as well.

even if you made it to FIFO status, you spend heaps of time away from home. getting by ordering crap online to make you happy when you are at home. your missurs will want an endless stream of pets to provide affection for when you are gone.

I thought about it when I was a chef.... it was literally the most opposite job I could think of.

The test is just ridiculous... waaaaaaay above and beyond what is required of a train driver

Sure is, have had friends apply. It's BS for what they end up doing. Not like it's rocket science but the way they test... Wtf?!

Haha that's it, I'd still rather work my way up and beyond in an industry I actually have an interest in.

FIFO I get, that's a big sacrifice and compensated by big money. Train drivers are deffs overpaid.

This is so nihilistic and edgy

I'll miss you Leroy, but I just can't share your bleak world view
