silliest job, page-2

You have to wonder how many of these kind of jobs are around.

But is he actually being paid $1300?

When you get to the bottom of the article:

"Australian Rail, Bus and Tram industry union secretary Victor Moore said a qualified grade 3 flagsman would be paid $20 an hour.

If he were living away from home he would get a further $120-a-day allowance, bringing his wage to $1300 a week."

Which brings it down to $700/week. Another media beatup headline. But yes, a silly job.
