Vacuum Truck Driver, I go around Christchurch and suck out blocked up sewer mains, pays $19ph...it's a bit of a rip off really, the company works holiday pay into that, so I actually only earn $17.20ph or somewhere around there.

The job itself and the work is ok, but my boss and the GM are both royal pricks, so I am going to an interview for another job tomorrow for a crowd that really want me to work for them.

A fair bit if youre experienced a fair bit I would assume. Probably somewhere from the $40-$80 mark depending how good you are.

Just a rough stab in the dark though haha :P

That is only if you can find a job that is. For interior design, there is not really that much work... Unless you get the right connections.

But to work for a company over here, as an employee, I would say you would be hard pressed to get the $40 per hour mark ..
I just had to add it ......
