Hey everyone just wondering what you think is a good appreticehip. I have been working as a chef but im sure i dont want to work those hours for the rest of my life. Please give me your opinion one good manual, practical, hands on jobs that i could have a look into. Im desperate

Thanx...

most apprenticeships that blokes have on this site is automotive mechanic me thinks

it fits your criteria. practical, good learning environment. I don't know but I think the hours aren't that bad. I'm assuming you like/own an ae86, so it'd be pretty useful being one too.

i was a mechanic, good skills to be learnt you get heaps out of it but the moneys shit. qualified $500 take home a week and thats an above award wage. if i had my time again i'd be a builder, my brother in law is a 4th year apprentice builder and he takes home 580 a week and it goes up to $650 when he's qualified. then if he builds for himself like his bosses do then you take home, well they took home $120,000 this year plus bought Xr6 utes for work. Electrician would be handy don't know about coin though.

Most car mechanics these days are called technicians becuase car mostly run off computers these days

if you work in a dealership, yes...i work on mainly subaru's and they arent low tech, and the only diagnostic things i have done is check error codes (on stock ones ofcourse)

just because they have 8 processors etc etc doesnt mean that they dont have all the things cars has 30 years ago...so they have to be adressed.

depends on what interests you...as far as trades go sparkies & plumbers get paid the best.

im currently 2nd yr sparky and the pay/conditions are great...36hr week, rdo every 2 weeks + travel/fares/allowances

by the time im qualified the going rate will be $36 p/h

construction is where the money is...site allowance, rdo's, eba pay rates, excellent penalty rate scheme...as it is i clear anywhere from 600-1000 depending on overtime
