I live in a fairly large town on the coast of Queensland. Whilst as an ATC i get a reasonable salary, it's nothing compared to what people working in the mines 1 hour to the west of us earn. Most are on $100k plus. Sparkys etc well over $200k ... Makes my $80k pale into insignificance.
You try buying a house in this town for under $300k. not gonna happen.
The the wonderful ASA mangers say we get paid too much
Gimme a friggin break. These clowns here can't add 2 numbers together and have zero responsibility, yet get paid double what i earn..
