Wander into the classroom one morning wearing a grass skirt, a coconut husk bra, bright red lipstick, screaming "Here's Johnny!", and you'll get out of teaching very fast. :D

[debruiser]

I can get out easy! and I dont have to act crazzzzzy either. :D

[V8Ian]

If you survived the Newman slash and burn I'd stay where you are for a while. Queensland is right up there in the unemployment stakes at the moment, I think it will get worse before it gets better. :(

[debruiser]

yea it's not as rosie where I am as you may think it is. and plus I need to get out for my own sanity.

[Landy Smurf]

what do you teach?

[debruiser]

instrumental music - ie Woodwind brass and percussion instruments.

[Landy Smurf]

is there any option of moving or are you guys too settled in there?
I could have picked your brain for my last assignment then but maybe just as well I didnt :)

Mining exploration?

[debruiser]

pretty settled here... I would move but the mrs doesn't like the idea

I know what I'm doing, I just don't get a kick out of the job.

[debruiser]

Mining exploration?

NIce! except what qualifications do i need for that?

[Landy Smurf]

There are some mining jobs that do not require much qualification or none.
If you are hoping that this next job will be a very long lasting job would you consider further studies?
All I know about mackay is that there is mines there

[debruiser]

yea well that's the problem with jobs really... everything needs quals. but the trick is paying for the quals on the off chance you can score a job later. Been there done that it's not much fun.

yea mackay... well... there are technically no mines in mackay... they are all west - couple of hours really. There is plenty of mining related industry here.

You sound like me! I was talking to one of my naughtier but well meaning students from 16 years ago recently. He spends most of the time driving remote offroad working for a hydraulics rep. Spends a fair bit of time shooting camels along the way as part of his environmental effort. Another of my past students asked me for advice on doing a Dip Ed having already been a Geologist for three years. I asked him for advice on doing a metallurgy post grad to add to my Science degree. I think that was all the advice from me that he needed.

Add fishing.............. I get paid by a couple of companies to work as a TA / consultant doing fish surveys in various river systems for a number of Gov and non Gov organisations.

The best jobs involve camping and 4x4 and I'd probably do them for nix if I could afford it.

Need a lot of different tickets, a lot of experience and demonstrated self employed mindset to fit in.

I do a lot of other stuff besides................

Lucky? Yep :)

I'd suggest you look at environmental consulting companies that are brought in to assess environmental aspects pre, during and after mining.

cheers, DL

[Rok_Dr]

I've had plenty of teachers over the years as field assistants.

Basically if you have some bush, camping, 4wd experience and a practical disposition you'll be fine.

Cheers

Start a band!
Become an A Lister.
Live it up.
Easy.
(It would have to be a woodwind band as I am told drummers aren't actually musicians!:p)

start a band, well that's a great way to spend money, not such a good way to make money... unless your on one of those stupid shows like xfactor or whatever they call it

And drummers arn't REAL musicians! haha

Join the move from government to non-government schools. The Newman Government's refusal to sign up for Gonski will inevitably mean state schools will become even more starved for funds, but the Catholics and independent schools have signed up, so they'll be pulling in the extra money, particularly if they are in disadvantaged areas.
Plus the non-governments have greater ability to boot out the troublemakers, so they can have fewer problems with fights, bullying etc. Not always true, but there does seem to be a trend there.
Just a thought...

yes I used to be in private sector. And yes they normally have better behaviour, but the other side of the coin is that the school expects a fair bit more from you for the same dollar.

Want to swap jobs?
I was camping for four days last weekend.
I'll be camping for three days this weekend.
I'd love to get into teaching.

Can't comment generally, but all I can say is my current job with an independent is a much better environment than any workplace I've ever experienced previously.

[Mick_Marsh]

Not much. Cook my meals. Browse through a couple of magazines. Get driven around. Take a few happy snaps.
Camping is just the relaxing downtime from the rather hectic weekdays of preparing for the weekends and giving the people at Centrelink work to do.

[Pinelli]

I've worked in both. Comes more down to the individual school and the boss, more than being public or private (in my experience, anyway).

I would have to agree with that. it's pretty spot on.
