What's the point of going to University in NZ?

haha, yeh, i realise that, tho i imagine you could probably do a fair bit of simple home plumbing maintenance type stuff yourself, most things arent that hard to do, its just that to legally do them you need the tickets, but who needs legal?
i wanna build a house with a turf roof so they cant see it from the air and therefore it doesnt exist
fuck the law, humans built houses for thousands of years before there was a government asking for their cut of everything.

Not a plumber. I'm a fitter/turner/electrican/security tech/heatpump installer. Don't worry I'm not striking fuck that.

Might just go to uni

The money that dedicated Security tech contractors make is huge,
some of the ones that we contract will get 100 callout + hourly rate for the job,

then get a decent as mark up on all the parts they use to repair the alarm (new battery 80 dollars to the client when the tech gets it for 30 etc)

but aparantly a frustrating job?

Can be... The worst part is dealing with people.

I'm prettty keen to build and underground house. Would be mean as. That or a bomb shelter.

[Rob Anybody]

some financially lucky as fuck cunts i know are actually gunna be buying land in the south island this year, im on board due to my technical skills(haha) and my goal in life is to build a mean as fuck house like something from a fuckin cartoon swiss familly robinson movie.

you should get in cahoots man, il get on the piss with you one day or some shit, cos the more the merrier then it comes to technical knowledge.

[Lummoxgrinder]

foreshore.

[ap9er]

Well then I guess we arent really disagreeing haha.

The people that piss me off the most at uni are engineers, because theyre pretty much all going off to be engineers, mostly cause they heard it pays really well, not because they have any real interest in engineering (at least from talking to the first years I supervise labs for). Plus, theyre mostly douchebags.

it's ok. most of those engineers soon find out that while their upfront pay is pretty good they hit their glass ceiling after a few years and because they are somewhat weak minded they can't escape it. this is assuming they stay there long enough to hit the ceiling, engineer turnover is pretty damn high where i work.

we had one gentleman feel 'guilty' over doing personal work on company time so gave $20 when he quit to try and clear his conscience. great. thanks for the whole $20. arse.

[Rob Anybody]

no this thread is pretty interesting, you suck and it illustrates why you suck and how fucking shit you are in general unlike this thread basically.

You really do know how to generate the most crushing comebacks imaginable don't you?

[steeltoedsneakers]

I'm in tears and my self-esteem is in tatters. I hope you're proud of yourself.
