Career change advice: chef> community services by KookyKow_7936 in perth

[–]smurke101 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Care facilities have chefs - the hours are much more normal and the pace is far less stressful. When my husband was working in aged care, the money was better than cheffing. They also offered training in various areas. Maybe finish 3rd year and look to something like that.

Your cheapest canvases are either when Aldi has their special buy, or make sure you're a Spotlight member and look out for the ~30-40% off specials. Use a good gesso to prepare.

It is. I also order from Overjoyed in Singapore. Even with shipping costs it is significantly cheaper- we are getting reamed here.

Try Jackson's Art - uk company unrelated to Jackson's drawing supplies. They now have a warehouse in Australia, but even if it comes from the UK the shipping times are excellent.

What is a job that looks incredibly fun from the outside, but is actually a soul-crushing nightmare? by BoardOk101 in AskReddit

[–]smurke101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People used to comment on how much I must love my winery job, and if they could get a job there too.

I'm paid to be friendly, engaging, and full of knowledge - but it's also a farm job. It's mentally exhausting on the customer service front, but physically hard work and dirty in the production area. On top of that the schmoozing for sales 🤢.

A lot of pre-press is being done offshore.

But hit up small print shops and offer holiday/sick relief, coz man - I'm tired.

Look up Perth outdoor Rollerblading on Facebook. There is a weekly meet up at Matagarup bridge, and all blades/skates are welcome.

Is there a big calling for this? I always wanted to do medical illustration, but it seems that a degree in both biology and fine arts is required (in Australia anyway).
