Default what about another trade?

I dont think becoming a mechanic is a good option for you as your already earning more than them by approx 10-15k
Taking into account that you will be on a adult minimum wage for 4 years
$55000 approx x 4 = $220000
$30000 approx x 4 = $120000
loosing $100000 over 4 years
But if you go from that to working in a mine as a heavy duty mechanic it will take a far few less years to catch up to what you lost in the beginning.

I know working in mines is a good way to start out in life im ganna start my apprenticeship as a fitter this june/july and when i finished ill go to a mine down south of perth(not as hot as up north). Ill be earning up to $2000 a week 12 hour days.

I know u have family so this may not be a good option.


How about a government job they get heaps better benifits like 7years long service leave

-Defence force part time its like 4 weeks a year or 1 weekend a month while you work at your current job and you get paid for it


-police force my uncles a sergent and he gets heaps of $$$ plus heaps of sick leave over 100 days a year ?
