I’d ask for more, $80k/yr fly in fly out is perhaps the min. wage. Most people are on more working in mining industry.
As someone once said to me, “no good having the most interesting job in the world if it doesn’t pay the bills.”
I’m pragmatic and with the ones who go for the money. Look, why work a whole year for $30k in the city? What a waste of effort.
WealthyJay said he dumbed down his job as an industrial chemist and went for the money. So did I. I was/am a chemist also. I’ll be a “dog’s body” doing dead-boring routine work for high pay – no problem. Why, you might ask? Because I have a plan. Make my money and invest wisely so I can tell all employers where to go. There are many more exciting things to do in life than have my nose to the grindstone for the rest of my life.
It’s funny really. I spent many years developing my career, looking for the chance to rise to higher levels. Of course, stress came along for the ride. Then I walked away – without any job to go to. For four years I never worked while I studied the share market to get a grip on how to make money from it. I went through many emotions as I felt I still needed to be working. Anyhow last year a mate got me a contract job at his mine site. This is what I had been searching for! Routine work on high pay – absolutely STRESS FREE. I only work when they need me, so it’s not fulltime. It’s a beautiful arrangement – work a few months and take six months off, whatever.
The contract work supplements my investments nicely, since that is my main focus. Worked four months last financial year and grossed $46k which includes investment earnings, not to mention growth on those investments.
Contract work on a FIFO is not for everyone, but it is part of my ticket to financial freedom in the not-too-distant future.
My advice to you if you live in the city and you feel like you are in a rut financially…
Go to the employment agencies who specialise in the miners. See if you can get work as an unskilled labourer. You will make good money. Mining is booming and there is no shortage of work. Fly-in, fly-out is a different way of life, but the good thing is you get to live where you want on your time off. Take a chance.

Just to stir the pot it’s not “WHAT†you earn it’s what you do with what you earn..
I know many people that earn “much†more than me and have “much’ less. (hmmmm apart from expensive clothes, car etc) reminds me of the song “we’re on the road to nowhereâ€.
From memory Jan Somers had a story about a forklift driver that owned about 20 houses, a painter that had half the REA’s rental roll..and so on.
Most Uni Lectureres have degrees for wallpaper and still there’s many who still struggle from paycheck to paycheck..then again it’s the same for some guys I know working up North doing scaffolding etc..
No good earning a big paycheck if you p*ss it up against the wall. I’ve worked with guys twice my age that ‘need’ to work as they have nothing to show for their time.. In most cases they don’t understand half the basics of what a lot of people on this forum do.. Listening to them is a good wake up call..
Again I reiterate its not what you earn but what you do with what you earn.. (though if you earn lots and know what to do with it it’s a BONUS)

Count The Currency With This Online Positive Cashflow CalculatorHi Everyone,
Thought I would add a recent job offer to the mix.
Paying $27,000 AUD per month, very enticing, but the job consisted of being an armed to the teeth body guard for travelling business and government officials throughout Iraq and other middle east nation. Not bad cash but not a long term prospect going by some of the feedback from those over there.
On a more good cash flow low qualifications basis I came across a great little business I would be suprised if some of you have not heard of it. Coffee News, it is a weekly publication for cafe’s etc. I missed out ont he NSW Head office but managed to get QLD. Great little advertising based business with great cash flow for time involved. Anyway you dont have to go to uni to get over $50k pa paychecks. And it all goes to holding more property….

Having read this and other comments made in this forum I went onto a popular website called “seek” too look for a job such as the one mentioned.
Guess what???????? It is 2:19am and I started looking well before midnight. I went through well over a thousand job listings and there was NOTHING AT ALL close to a job that paid 80k for someone unskilled. I am a qualified lawyer and I would have jumped at the chance to earn 80k as an unskilled labourer despite my having 3 university degrees.
Can you guys please provide links with advertisements for the job offers that you are talking about? It would be greatly appreciated and it would make me feel better for having wasted several hours.
Good point Redwing. These are my thoughts also. I figured why bother chasing big money in management positions with all the stress, when I can make very good money doing routine work. I then had to educate myself to invest wisely to make the best of it. Anyone who wants the “glory” of climbing the corporate ladder, go for it, but there are better ways to live a more relaxed life and build wealth at the same time.

Believe me, there is big money working in the mining industry compared to many jobs elsewhere. I am not greedy and still consider that $60k+ is pretty good. You can get this being unskilled in mining. Having said that, trawling the usual sources of advertised jobs is probably not the way to find them.
It’s the old story – not what you know, but who you know, i.e. having a contact in the industry. If you don’t have that, registration with an employment agency that specialises in mining would be a good way to go. I was working with a guy recently who owns a winery, but he still likes to supplement earnings with paid employment. He said he just goes to one of the agencies and they always find him something. So, to get into the loop initially may require a bit of persistence, but has it ever been any different.
