POSITION VACANT: Loans officer NAB. Courses available from $100000 dollars,
It's what used to be called HECS, probably some new name for it now.


then you we may put you in a position in the outback for a couple of years first, before being considered for city roles.
If we take the current high earning graduates they get to go play in wonderful mine sites in the middle of nowhere.

And for way longer than a couple of years.

And in conditions that are nowhere near those of a pilot

And they earn less

And until very recently there was no guarantee of a job on graduation.

And graduation took at least 4 years full time study to achieve. With not too many fun activities (and I assume the fun of flying is where most pilots start) included.

Please, whilst I respect what pilots do let's not overblow it.



and we will be doing medical checks on you every 12months, then every 6 months after 40!!
this one I'll grant you.

Side benefit - your health should be much better than that of the average Joe who has no such motivation.
