If you have the flair for it, being a salesman offers good income potential with little training required. Otherwise driving jobs always come up, if you can take 12 hour shifts FIFO on the mines in WA can get you $110 000 a year
I'm late 40's, I'm fit & motivated. I won't do FIFO though, not with young kids. If I could make near $100k (less than half my previous pay check) I would be happy. I know that sounds a bit entitled but I feel like I'm worth more than a job pushing a fork lift. I'm happy to invest some time or money to get there as I reckon I got another 15 years in the workforce, so I'm trying to think of something outside of the box, sales is a good suggestion.
