i'm a pig farmer.... it was supposed to be a temporary thing until i got my license and an apprenticeship (i wanted to be a panel beater). i've been there 6 months now, get my license in a week and now i have $20,000 financed so i won't be leaving anytime soon. planning now to do some night study and eventually try to get onto something with a bit better pay and more consistent/reliable start/finish times.

I don't fit into any. I worked in pubs & entertainment for 25+ years and gave it all away to be a full-time stay at home dad.

Im currently in yr 12, F-ing hating it to no end. Applied for Rifleman in the Army, done all my interviews Just got to wait for my enlistment date hopefully early next year.
Current job is Target Casual, its actually pretty descent. Excellent managers and staff and we actually give a crap most of the time. I noticed there is a few Military occupants here. Feel free or actually I invite you to share your experiences in ADF. |
