timo

Hi to you all ,
first time on this site,lots of great reading very interesting info on lots of different topics.
Can anyone advise me what sort of wages i can expect too earn as a motor mechanic im fully qualified with 12 years experience,?
Someone on poms in perth website said i would take home about $500 per week ?would that be about right ?
Any replies would be helpful, TIMO

Dunno Timo but I should think it would be a bit more than that.
Trades vary in what they pay.
There is some australian website that you can look at to see what specific industries pay structures should by but I don't know what it is. Could try and find out for you if you like.

Pommie Bastard's wages are direct debited by the OB daily so he's just showing envious jealousy.

What this shirt lifter forgets to tell you is that a good mechanic,can make more money, on weekends doing "cashies, or foreignees" my mate , just knocks over a couple of tune ups ,on the weekend just for beer money......the "black economy" is king in oz........ MM

Now I get it work Monday-Friday for peanuts then start the real job at the weekend , you get more off the planet by the day.

mr mover

you mean after 9 years you have just realised this , thats why i have a good life , and want for nothing......work mon to friday to pay "johnny H" then a saturday in the pocket, surly your "ute " men told you this ? but i guess you have always worked for a boss, this country has end less opportunitys for those who want to get out and give it a go............ MM

You are dim enough to think people do not do the same in the UK.
PS what happen to the Australian lifestyle all play and no work?

mr mover

the black economy, thrives in this country , for those who want to take advantage of it....so does the welfare system...we have three generations in some familys, in south australia who have never, worked, yet they survive, some [the drug ]growers,do very nicely. was it , the all play no work thing that attracted you to australia? , why dont you admit it, you like MANY of the long term, expats, in this country only move back , because of a lack of family infrastructure, your kids like Wilfs have left the country, and understandably you miss them.....there would not be a month, goe,s by were we see long term poms going home ,because they miss the kids, not because they dislike Australia, on the other hand just as many self funded retirees, come here because their familys emigrated years ago. ................

Love the self funded retirees many who are just above welfare , means no state pension or free health care great country not.
