Looking to moving to NZ as a corrections officer (my husband). Salary of $36000nzd. Equivalent to around £15000 stirling (not alot I know). But hope to work myself.
My husband was a qualified welder a few years ago but went into the prison service in the uk to get away from all the dust involved in welding. However, read lots of negatives on salaries in NZ and wondered what Oz prison service pay for their Officers and also if Welding maybe an option. I am a lecturer in education in the uk prison service.
Thanks Suze

if he wants to earn big bucks then he is gonna have to dust off his old welding helmet, welders can earn between $80,000 to $110,000 a year here in WA.

silly question where is WA?
My father is a welder so just wondering although he is at retiring age but this guy refuses to leave the work force. He is an advanced welder-known as one of the best!

What a refreshing attitude you have so everyone is prison is scum.
I'd rather be associated with some of them than the likes of you.

Yep the post doeasn't say they are all scum, it refers to scum, not necassarily meaning all of them, however I can imagine working in the prisons you do have to watch your back. I don't blame you for wanting to get out. There in there for a reason and we are out here for a reason...

Just because someone has made a mistake and been punished for it doesn't make them scum.
I have a police record which I had to declare to DIMIA, they obviously didn't think I was scum

The clue is where Fraser is from ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Just joking. Lived in Essex for 3 yrs ourselves (Basildon) and loved it... but of course Essex people do have a rep for being wideboy crims (hence the joke).
