Spent 6 months a year for 3 years driving tractors on cotton and wheat farms - 12 to 14 hour shifts (night shifts mostly), camped out in sheds the open or if I was lucky shearers quarters, went on to work as a marker and later mixer for Ag planes. dam good money between $700 and $1000 a week when it wasn't to wet to work managed to save enough to get through CPL and MECIR could have saved more but poured a fair bit of it down my throat.
