The mines are booming here, anything in the mining industry ... like driving trucks, boilermaker, electrician etc $120K and 4 months off per annum.

It appears what the problem is ... is that the 80's stigma of wearing overalls and sweating for a living, tradesman or labourer, you were inferior to some office nancy has taken a turn.

Now, as the older guys have retired and the younger ones play with PC's there's a shortage of workers, trades and skilled blokes.

But truck drivers, never out of a job.
