i remember now why i opted to stay away from this place, nothing but trash people that refuse to have any moral backbone, nothing but idiots

and yet while i'm "spamming this sub" when i havent been on it consistently in years you all religiously support trump and awful republican ideology that causes innocent people to be murdered and good hard working people to suffer their whole lives

privileged fascist supporting brainless fucks

Means nothing without cost context. Just quikly googling average rent in Austria is 2x Texas I mean that's an 8 second Google so I'm not concluding that but like iv stated many of our workers came from AUS and had easily double the living costs.

Capital cities are expensive due to conservatives getting in and consistently making it easier for boomers to buy up property, outside of the three largest cities rent is pretty cheap, you can buy a home in some of the smaller towns for $15,000.
A one bedroom apartment in sydney is ~1.2 million dollars, a 4 bedroom home in rockhampton is $135,000.
Thing is those smaller towns have opportunities to get wealthy fast, most are mining towns, mining here pays a fortune.

That's been my bread and butter. Targeting rural areas where other professionals have no desire to go.

Based on the Texans last post I think it's safe to conclude they likley have no actual ambition to better their situation to be honest.

The thing about rural though is jobs are very limited it's just they remain open because people don't want to relocate and live in such places. If everyone had that mindset suddenly there would be no jobs or it would develop and follow the same cycle as the larger places would it not.

Nah we have loads of mining jobs they struggle to fill because they are remote but the thing is they pay 6 figures and you either fly in and fly out or drive in and out working on a 5 day on 4 days off roster, so you make ~120-160k a year working 22 weeks, and in certain areas if you have lived there for a year they make all your pay tax free as incentive, alice springs is one of them.
I originally got my start up funds to invest by doing fifo work as a drill rigger.

The problem with those rural towns is that they offer almost no job opportunities for college-educated folks. If you're neither into mining nor farming, a college grad would most likely have to work below his qualifications in a place like that.

Another factor to keep in mind is the gender ratio. Mining towns in particular tend to skew heavily male. What's the point in living in a fat house when there are two guys for every one girl in your town, and the next larger city is a 12h drive away?

Oddly enough, baralaba where i was mining is where my family came from and there was way more girls than guys there, dunno why but births skewed way towards woman, my mom was one of 7 sisters all born there lol.
When i was 16 there was like myself, my cousin benny and like 30 girls around our age.
But yeah its bad if you hate mining or farming, cities are better for trades and degrees, but those people also earn well in cities so it works.
Plumbers here make 6 figures.

I understand that and our western Canada was that for a very long time, aka Alberta oil fields but its not forevee since its based on market prices which those workers learned the hard way and its limited to how much is in the ground just like minerals.

Also although you say loads, loads is little when you're talking about total people working mimum wage looking for a higher wage, if we just told them to relocate and work ruraly that is.

Dont get me wrong I used to offer the exact same suggestion you did since wages in Canada are similar to what you're stating here but I started to reconsider what I was touting after looking at total people vs total positions if we just gave that as a blanket suggestion to people and they all acted on it.

I'm on my phone so my responses are shit.

Oh don't get me wrong we have a job shortage, but we have conservatives in power and they engineered it that way.

yeah if i were 22 again and didnt get a job after undergrad that would have been my go-to. i was fortunate to get a job in my field shortly after graduation and this was in 2010 so it was still a shit economy. wasnt anything close to 130k though lmao

definitely an angle for a young single person with the ambition to do that, its a wise decision if youre capable of doing it
