If anyone who has no ties could do worse than heading to Alberta Canada.  Huge labour shortages and salaries of st£100k for skilled workers.

That's money !

Ah well. That rules me out. I have a wardrobe full of ties, and about a dozen shirts as well! ;D

By the way, I'll be in Dubai myself on my Ulster Bank paid for jolly in November, if you (or anyone else) wants to hook up

I offered a lad a job a few weeks back, told him we could "only" pay him €120 a day and he turned it down. Said he wouldnt get out of bed for it. I was talking to him yesterday, he is still not working and hasnt bothered to sign on.

What was the job?

Gee - € 120 a day is good money - what sort of money was he on before ??

Probably €150 - €180 a day. Thats into his hand.
That offer was made 6 weeks ago, he hasnt earned a penny since.

He thinks he is worth more than €120 a day. €600 a week into the sky rocket isnt bad money, especially when you arent working and its getting close to Christmas. A lot of people seem to over value themselves. 3 years ago we were all on better money, but those days are gone. Brickies are the same. I know one team of brickies who wont accept less than top dollar for work. Granted they are good workers, but they arent earning at the minute. Thats ok until the savings run out. And I know in one case that day is very very close.

Sure that's nuts. No matter how good you are you'll only ever get what people are prepared to pay. At the minute clients have a lot of tradesmen by the short ones due to the jack of work.

€ 600 for 5 days into your pocket is damn good money - I'd say he'll be in touch before too long.

How long could you go for without a visa, or do you need one no matter what the lenght?
