(Bad form replying to myself...I know) Geez - would the off-list "no way you get paid that much" BS please stop. I've done both jobs I mentioned above and both paid more than $30/hr. Neither were full time; both were casual/contract. Both positions held in 1994 in Kununurra, WA. If you get paid less these days then maaybe it's not the ecconomy, its just could be the geography? Havent done manual labour in decades, so apologies if things have changed...for the worse.
