housing still too expensive, page-9

    Why haven't wages kept pace with property prices? Maybe your wages haven't, but a lot have.

    What about the miners - easy to get $100k + for mostly unskilled work. Recent report says they need another 87,000 workers.

    Go to Mt Isa and drive big trucks - my hairdresser did and now earns $90k pa in her first year. Another friend doubled his salary by moving to WA - same job, double the pay.

    Guess what the catch is though - you have to move out of the big cities. No-one has the guts to get out of suburbia and give it a go though.
