My Penis is hungry Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 My son wasn't sure which he'd rather be an electrician or plumber. To help him decide I dropped a $2 coin in the toilet bowl and asked him to get it out and spend it He's an apprentice electrician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Penis is hungry Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Government here in Qld very supportive. He gets $760 a month to do a trade at school, that means 2 days a week at electricians for which he also gets paid, 3 days a week at school to get his high school graduation. So he's saving up a ton of $s which is also good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 It’s a no Brainer to learn a trade over attending Uni, at the end of apprenticeship you are qualified, working and debt free. Also not all Tradies stay as Tradies it is just a first step on a Career ladder, I should know over 40 years ago I started out as a Technician on the tools. Us ex apprentices joke about Uni Grads that “They can calculate the volume of a jar of jam but can’t get the bloody lid off” I.e know the theory but no practical experience. Also Chaygpt is unlikely to take your job, I have never seen a computer wire a light or unblock a toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 I must have been about 17 when an old hand in is 60’s told me that one, it has stuck with me for life. Another one he came out with was when he was doing some work on electronic equipment using the wrong tools, caused a short circuit and a puff of smoke. Well the distinctive smell of burning shellac on a circuit board he just said, “By heck that’s an expensive smell” Whenever I smell that smell, I always say, “Expensive Smell” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Penis is hungry Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 I drive sometimes a mates merc with the auto stop, lane changing, parking, It is a bit annoying, and I feel I get too lazy, it does steer itself around corners, slows down and speeds up and stops and starts by itself, Same in a rental Kia Carnival I hired, I think we get lazy That all said I do like the idea of autonomous cars, but I suspect they will need something like transponders to communicate with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
