Drive passenger trains. About $150k AUD/year, which is probably like $15k in real dollars.

It’s a bit grim and I’m thinking of doing an apprenticeship to get into a trade. They just make so much money in Aus, it’s unreal.

We'll guess it's time, to longterm hold some more and see what will happen.
Selling would be a waste after all this time tbqh. I don't need that money, so I can just sit and watch what will happen.
Time to have a life again.
See you frens!

That’s a train in Australia, specifically Sydney. I have to drive those quite regularly. I can tell because of the way that it is, particularly the way the seats are arranged, the colour and design of the seat moquette, and the shape of the seat handles.

For what it’s worth I don’t mind working this job and if I had to do it until a typical retirement age I think I’d be okay - it’s the whole “living in Australia” part that’s getting awfully tiresome.

you do not understand.
you pay $5000 service fee if you have a american express black. But why would you pay that? Simple: If you are somewhere in Tokyo and want to know where to have some good food? Call the hotline:
>Hello Sir.
>How Are you, Sir?
>I also very fine, thank you, Sir.
>Yes of course, I can find this out for you, Sir!
>Should I also make a reservation for you, Sir?
>Excellent, anything else I could help you with, Sir?
>No, this is no Problem, Sir, of courese I will look for a Financial Lawyer to fill SEC Paperwork, Sir.
>Is it okay if I send you the contact-Information via E-Mail, Sir?
>Thank you very much, Sir.
>I wish a nice evening, and enjoy your meal at *fine dining place in Tokyo*, Sir.
>When every you need us, Sir.
>Of course, thank you, Sir.
>Goodbye, Sir.

I drive trains.

I’m 27 with no Bachelor degree, so not far off. I drive trains for a living, it’s pretty comfy. Though I often wonder if my life would be better had I taken the traditional path of school > university > professional white collar job.

Never went to college. After finishing high school I went and did a traineeship where I got paid to go to a tech school and rolled that into a job. These days I’m a train engineer. I’ll probably make $130k AUD this year which isn’t great but not horrifying either. The trouble with my job is that the shift work will take years off my life and there’s not really anywhere to go beyond here. Truth be told I wish I had actually gone to college straight out of school like everyone else. I got a head start on a lot of people my age but as they exited college with better qualifications they’ve climbed the job ladder quicker and now they’re earning far better.

I recently enrolled to do aerospace engineering at university part time and hopefully I’ll be able to use that to move to try and move to the US (you guys don’t make it easy in the slightest). Though I am considering applying for a signal electrician apprenticeship with my current employer, even at a base level they make a fair bit more than train crew (roughly $180k AUD) and there are more opportunities to go further in that area. If I get the apprenticeship I’ll likely drop university. I’m cautiously optimistic that life will improve for me over the next decade.

MDB is doing well.
