Thanks mate, I appreciate it 👍🏻 Everyone learns these things in their own way, you’re an old hand in the game now by the sounds 😁

Cheers mate 👍

Glad to help mate, cheers 👍🏻

Very interesting

Thanks for the comment mate! You’ve definitely done your time in the game that’s for sure. Love the comment on RR vs poverty haha that’s great! Definitely send some pics mate, I’d be keen to see how it’s going 👍

Thanks mate, we’ll said 👍🏻

what are you doing in fifo mate?

@@trisonangel123 drillers offsider initially but training up to be a driller

@@josh.l9370how’s it going now mate? I’m 18 and looking into mining.

Great advice there mate 👍 I definitely agree with your comment. Getting good advice is absolutely the best way to go about getting in to the market.

@@Keithy_W I agree - well done on your channel bloke.

Thanks mate 👌🏼

Cheers Max, appreciate it 👍

G’day mate! It sounds like you’ve got a solid plan there 👌 let me know how you go with the job. Have you started applying as yet?

My pleasure mate 👍🏻

Thanks mate 👍🏻

Thanks mate! Much appreciated 👍🏻

You’re not wrong mate! Managing finances is a dark art to some people, but a necessary one

G’day mate, thanks for the message! You’ve got the right idea straight away! If you can land a utility role, or even a contractor job, that’ll get you in the door. If you could even get an adult apprenticeship that would be a good thing with your trade-type experience. Thanks heaps mate!

Thanks mate

@@Keithy_W im heading to barra island in 3 weeks first time as a fifo in the kitchen do you have a video on what to bring up as a first timer would be much appreciated kieth

Congrats mate! Good work! I don’t believe I’ve made a video on what to take with you. It’s a good idea - perhaps soon I’ll knock one up! You’ll need the basics (as if you were staying at a hotel), plus work clothing.

@@Keithy_W thanx keith ok got ya on the hotel situation ye a begginers guide to first timers what are the important things to bring with you as a fifo would be awsome

You should be in a good position at 19 mate. Prime and ready to go 👍🏻

G’day again mate! I knocked that answer over in the other comment you made, but I’ll touch on it again here. The mines will pay for your accomodation and meals while at work. The exception is if you are working as a contractor. Some contractors stay in the near towns to the mines, and some food costs may not be covered, however, they cover accomodation. If you get into the mining game, remember to keep your nose clean and live within your means - think about how you’d pay the bills if you lost your job. Good luck mate! Keithy

G’day mate, for my particular job, I don’t have a personal company vehicle. Plumbing will get you into mining camps and basic services on a mine site, but it won’t be any real advantage for any mining job unless you want to be a plumber.

G’day mate, there are mines near Karatha. I’ve not landed foot on them myself, so there might be a few other lads or lasses here with experience out there. Sounds like you’re keen and ready to get into it, that’s great to hear mate! Should be a good pay there 👍🏻

@@Keithy_W Yeah bro. Keen. Are you still working in the mines?

That’s awesome to hear mate! I am still in the mines, but haven’t worked since last year. Going through a cancer battle at the moment with a brain tumor.

@@Keithy_W Oh brother. Sorry to hear about that. Please stay positive like I know and feel you are mate. My brother had cancer and overcame it through the the power of pray and believing in a miracle through the mighty name of Jesus 🙌⭐❤👍🏽I will keep you in my prayers mate. Take it one day at a time.

Hey mate, as someone that moved up to Karratha last year - Most cleaner/kitchen work you'll find will be with a company such as Sodexo or Programmed (at least in my experience). Programmed just took over the Woodside (North West Shelf Project - Oil & Gas) and I believe Sodexo is the contractor for Rio Tinto. The money won't be as good in these specific roles at least from what I've heard from people (and most of them hire locals or relocate you). Ideally truck driving, security and other non-specialised jobs would pay you more.

G’day mate, it’ll definitely pay well as a geo, I’m sure you’ll definitely be happy with it for sure.

Hey buddy did u applied for university??

Not sure if you’re asking me or Shreyansh?

I work as a geo for one of the big companies and yes, the money is very good when compared to other opportunities with my degree. In saying that, if you dont have a true interest in geology/geoscience and are just chasing money then you are better off getting qualified in a trade which can be carried over to mining. For example, an electrician or boilermaker gets paid as an apprentice, and can fairly quickly end up making more than a geo in FIFO. To put that in perspective, you pay upwards of $60,000, while making no money, to get a degree and a job as a geologist, while an apprentice makes ~70k a year to get qualified and then jumps to a ~150 - 200k salary as an experienced FIFO sparky, boilermaker, etc. Just my 2 cents, i dont regret my path as uni was fun as hell and im on good money doing something i find very interesting but it is certainly not the way to go

@@TryABaconSlice thank you so much! this reply really means a lot for me.

Taxes aside, I don’t know about sending money overseas, but if you’re in Australia getting paid Auzzie dollars, after the tax man plays with it, it’s yours!

It’s pretty common to meet all types of folks in the mines, from all different places.

Maybe I should put it another way. Joe earns 120k p/a Joe has a property debt of 500k, a boat loan of 35k, a brand new KTM on finance at 15k, and he just bought his wife a new Subaru, and himself a new 300 series Land Cruiser (both total 150k). Joe can manage that debt while he’s earning his wage, and is expecting a pay rise in 2023, so he’s looking to upgrade the boat. OH NO! Joe lost his job! What a great time, because the mining industry happens to be down at the time. What’s he going to do? Joe now has to sell all of his fancy stuff because unfortunately he couldn’t afford the freedom to save a few bucks “just in case”, and the bank are cranky that he’s behind in his mortgage repayments.

pay cash for as much as you can

You’d be surprised how much massive debt is floating around!

Thats why you get a 4k x trail and live like a cockroach while you save for a house deposit 😉

That’s a solid plan right there

@Jon Y. Crypto is the best performing asset at the moment

@Jon Y. Depends on the coin, and dips of 90% are normal. That's what makes it such a great opportunity. But if you want stability and slow appreciation I guess real estate or gold would be more your cup of tea :)

G’day mate 👍🏻

@@Keithy_W bro how to get in to mining industry, which are the tickets I need to take to getting in to the industry, and how much it will cost to take those tickets, I am planning to come SA by this year end, please help me

I don’t have any experience in mining industry,

It all depends on the skills you have, and what field you’d like to follow in the industry mate. Have you had a look at the kinds of jobs going in the mining industry thus far, and found something you think you’d be interested in following? It will definitely make it easier to make a pathway for yourself if you can see yourself in a certain position.

nah not really unless you have a niche spot to fill. it's generally all kiwis and aussies

@@aletheia3253 i don't want any high position job , i'm dumb af , I need entry level jobs (easy to do, don't need to use that much of my brain) , what you say??

@@siddheshpatil1365 Never say never. Apply your yourself and learn about how to get in. There’s plenty of ads for entry level jobs so best read them and see why you would and wouldn’t qualify for those positions

We dont want you.bugger off

G’day mate, your best bet is to narrow-down on your strengths and abilities, and target the mining jobs that require your skills. That will give you a great chance to find the right job, without too much hassle.

I’m sad too! But I don’t know why!

If you were living in Australia at the time, and your training/experience was sufficient, you would have a good chance.

@@Keithy_W I have experience driving forklift, reach trucks, I try to decide where I want to go, UK ot Australia, I like both of them, 4 years of driving license, I can be operator for any crane, thats easy to me

It’s definitely good experience you have, it will help you get work in the mines.
