unless you work for yourself or can find flexible job jimjim, its hard to find a secondary job on a 4 on 4 off cycle. as i work this and 8 day cycle and 7 day week so you cannot committ to regular days in a secondary job.

secondary income tax is total bullshit too. the more motivated and harder you work the more you are penalised, the lazier you are and less you do you are given more.

It would be okay if you had a trade of some sort, who said anything about paying tax!! how long do you think you can last this time?? :pfft:

if you had a trade ud make more money doing that fulltime, firefighters dont earn very much, i applied a few years ago then found out income wasnt very good.... its not really like police or military where you can apply your skill to jobs afterwards and earn big money either.

cruisey life though, 4 on 4 off is mint.

Looks like we will never run out of PTs or IT workers! What happened to doing a trade? Note to any young guys starting out. Go get a trade. I dont know any one with a trade earning under 75k.

Andy.

make sure any secondary income is under the table and then you don't have to give any of those rip off bastards a cent

p.s i do not advise any law breaking activity or condone this sort of behavior :)

I agree re: secondary jobs, hence my comments about the overtime, which is paid at double time rates, so the money works out okay. I guess, it relative what each person considers good money, though... :wink:

A lot of guys are tradeys in the job and have their own business, which also works out well for them.

I have a degree to fall back on, so not worried about transferable skills too much, but I don't agree with tomsammce that you can't apply the skills to any other job... There is great money to be made these days in fire safety consulting, for example.

And yeah, great lifestyle for training, travelling, studying, hobbies etc.

Most clients we deal with would be exceptionally lucky to hit anywhere near 75K. That statement is complete crap..

Honestly I think his statement couldn't be more correct. All my mates/family with trades earn just as much if not considerably more than myself.

Whether you have 1 job, or 10, the tax is the same on every dollar. Your taxed at your marginal rate. There is no such thing as secondary tax. Hasnt been since the 80s
