Money talks, no matter what country you are in.

30kGBP is a robust salary for the NW, even parts of the S outside London. AUS53k is admin work wage. Office gals can get that in Sydney when they leave school.

It must be great working in Sydney then - that seems like a pretty high salary for a school leaver/junior? In Melbourne even for a person with experience in admin that is a fairly sizeable wage. Been looking on Seek and that is an office management wage...

And frankly, I find the term "office gals" offensive.

So do I. The correct term is surely "office gels". ;)

Very RAF officer speak, circa 1940.
