Just heard from my mom that a long time friend I haven’t spoken to in a while is going to go work in a mine in Australia and it isn’t even some white collar work. He’s straight up going to do physical labor there. I’m just baffled as to why he would do this. Can any Australian tell me if the mines there pay some kind of insane salary or something? He had no trouble findings jobs here back home so I don’t understand going so far unless there’s some crazy incentive to do so. I’d assume that it’s the kind of field that would be filled with Jeets working for below minimum wage but that can’t be the case if he’s going.

From what I hear miners make shitloads yeah. But its hard, dangerous work and you gotta live out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere to do it
>>220922847apparently they make up to $135,000 AUD a yearthat's LS58065276.97 in sudanese pounds

>>220923439posted it in the wrong thread but the post was not relevant to the thread it was meant for anyway so small difference really
>>220923038wtf why so much?
>>220923815Firsties are lazy bums that refuse to work in anything that makes them sweat
>>220923815idk minings our biggest sector at like 11% of our GDP, they got money and they need to incentivise people to live a 6 hour flight from home doing physical labour in a holeif it was minimum wage no one would do it, they could get a minimum wage job at home and not have to leave their families for months at a time
>>220923815danger pay
>>220922547I don't know about the rest of the UK but it's pretty common in Northern Ireland. People go over there to work in the mines for a couple years and then come back and immediately buy houses. I'm pretty sure I've seen the mining companies put ads up on UK social media/television too. A lot of people talk about going but most never go because sacrificing 2 or more years of your life to the hellish experience of Aussie mines isn't an easy decision to make.I never really understood why the labour pool over there is being filled by whites at a premium rather than jeets either to be honest, maybe being trapped in tight spaces with sweaty jeets is too much of a health hazard. Some people also go to work on their mega farms but it doesn't pay as well. The whole thing feels very 19th century.
