I'm a fully qualified electrician. But I did my time in Australia and work in Australia.
The money here is more than what they pay electricians in the U.S.. When I came out my time I was earning 90k Aussie dollars a year (about 70k US dollars).
The most I've earnt in a financial year is 120k when I was working away in an Australian gold mine in my 2nd year out of my time.
Now I'm just building my bread so I can start my own company here... my friend started his own 3 years ago and earns about 180k a year now with 2 guys under him.
In the U.S they pay a little less out of your time than here in Aus because I looked at comin back to the U.S.
I'm trying to buy a house over there soon and recolate back home so I wanna know what they pay over there nowadays cos the last time a nikka checked was 5years ago and it had a nikka shook at the peanuts they was paying nikkas
