As FlexiableResponse mentioned in post 947 the mining industry is screaming out for people with a trade certificate. Gold has hit an all time high of $1000 AUD today. These boom times wont last for ever so if you want a break from Aviation and earn some $$$ then jump on seek.com and get a new career . You can always come back once the resource boom has finished. Why not get paid 100k with 1/3 of the responsibility
Good luck with the fight boys , keep it clean and legal
