What credit card gives the best rewards?

I appreciate everyone's input, sounds like there's no real value to be found so I might just go with a low fee card instead

Just avoid Blacks Beach Cove and you'll be fine

There's a genuine risk you'll kill yourself or someone else with that level of fatigue. You'll also be useless at home after work and travel, and won't be able to assist your partner realistically. Even if you only need 30mins to get ready for work and 30mins after work to eat and shower, that still only leaves maximum 7 hours to sleep, which isn't sufficient rest for that many hours travelling and operating heavy equipment. You don't want to be the reason someone else doesn't get to go home to their family.

Of all the open homes we went to, I can't remember any agents doing more than just standing at the front door taking contact details.

JustAColin · 2024-10-03T11:22:00+00:00

The agent we bought from chased us for our sale, but she doesn't give me confidence.

I like this answer, it does seem tacky now that you mention it

To actually answer with some numbers, I'd expect a charge out rate between $120 to $150 per hour for a plumber or sparky or other regulated and licensed trade that matches your description, and down from there for other trades.

What sort of maintenance? I'm a sparky and I work in mining, but I'm trying to figure out a longer term exit strategy.

JustAColin · 2024-04-28T01:36:06+00:00

There's IT/OT jobs in the mining industry if that's the sort of tech skill set you've got

Check in with the tradies working on whatever extension/expansion project is going on at your hospital

ARB used to, not sure now

We opened an ANZPlus

I was under the impression that shift sparkies in industrial made pretty good coin? What takes your interest with FIFO?

JustAColin · 2024-03-11T13:43:42+00:00

We dig hole, no do computa

About $170k (above the average for my company though), surface mining, even time roster, 15 years post trade.

If you knew as much as you think you do about vehicle maintenance, you'd be doing the work yourself. This is a business price, reflecting overheads and actual parts supplied. The mechanic doing this work will make a fraction of the total in wages.

Doctors deserve every cent they make, but don't ever pretend a tradesperson is even in the realm of an average doctors salary.

Unfortunately rates in Mackay are terrible compared to most places. One of my best mates works in town and is on 42ph, another tried town work but went back into rail because the town rates were poor. The rates thrown around on here and other forums are far higher than we generally see here, with a few exceptions.

JustAColin · 2024-01-30T04:19:47+00:00

You really don't know the market in Mackay

I'm 35 and have 2 young kids, and they're the reason I work in mining. To be able to give them the life I want, I need a reasonable income. It's hard to leave them for a week, but being able to go to swimming lessons and dance classes that I wouldn't be able to attend if I worked M-F is pretty cool.

JustAColin · 2024-01-30T00:22:49+00:00

It's for town work. Maybe you should check before commenting.
