DECIDING TO BECOME A TRADIE COULD BE THE BEST CHOICE YOU’LL EVER MAKE! WHAT IS A TRADESMAN?
A tradesman or trades person, or more commonly known as a “Tradie”, is a skilled manual worker in a particular craft or trade. A tradesman is considered a professional with a high degree of both theoretical and practical knowledge of his/ her own trade. Generally and famously known as one of the most sought after careers in Australia, the tradesman is among the top earners when it comes to salaries and wages. The higher your qualification, the higher your potential wage. Naturally, a tradie’s job is tough and one of the most physically demanding careers – a long way from your typical 9-5 office job. Ranging from being called “sparkies, chippies, brickies” – being a tradie can mean any number of roles, but they do have plenty in common as well.
WHAT MAKES BEING A TRADIE SO POPULAR? 1. JOB SECURITY
As one of the most in-demand services in Australia, Tradies are among the top when it comes to in demand and most sought after jobs. There is no and will never be a shortage of the handyman repair, house-building, landscape contracting and plumbing jobs, to name a few. To say that the Tradie will be needed all day, every day is no exaggeration. The trade career pathway for those young people considering their future prospects is bright and promising.
3. WORK FLEXIBILITY
Once a Tradie masters his or her trade, gets that qualification, he/she can essentially pick their own projects and be their own boss. Many tradespeople end up working for themselves and building a business as the opportunity and potential to have full control of their work and careers are up for grabs and a thoroughly gratifying prospect.

4. SAY NO TO THE OFFICE CUBICLE A Tradie can hold office practically anywhere. For a Tradie, the www.aquaneo.com.au OR “Click and Collect” office is much more exciting and free than that boxed-in cubicle at PH 1300 279 502 a building square. You get to spend days outside, working on different sites, stand up and move around, doing the things you love – rather than stay seated all day, and interact with people. Shed 6, 179-181 First Ave, Bongaree
5. WAGES
In terms of salary, your income as a Tradie is not limited to the hours a day spent at work. With the proper trade qualification, the more you learn, the more skills you develop, the higher you can earn. Getting a license, for a specific trade, be it a plumber, electrician, etc., increases your ability to earn as well. With your license, you can be self-employed, start your own company and employ other skilled tradespeople to work for you, increasing your income greatly.
6. TRAVEL
As a tradie develops his/her skills and earn their qualifications, the doors (and windows) to different opportunities open up. They are free to travel to other cities, especially with a nationally recognized qualification under their [tool] belts. No matter where they go, there will always be a need for skilled workers in their trades and professions. You can literally set up shop anywhere.
7. SATISFACTION
When you talk to tradespeople, one of the things they all talk about is the real sense of satisfaction they get from finishing a job. It’s not uncommon to drive around an area or a neighbourhood and see the sites you’ve had a hand at creating, infrastructures you helped build and pieces you’ve crafted. It could be a house, landscaping, a business, an item of machinery or something else – you know you’ve done a good job and have others appreciate and enjoy.

BOATING, FISHING AND ADVENTURES HAPPY ENDING FOR YOUNG DOLPHIN O n Friday afternoon (31 July 2020) one happy young dolphin was freed from having its Woody Bay, Woorim BRIBIE ISLAND dorsal fin entangled by crab pot rope and floats. Wayne (Marine Park Duty Ranger - 0427753683 ) and his team from Marine Strandings, based in Manly, spent Friday out in their boat searching for the juvenile dolphin. The dolphin had been reported late on Thursday afternoon showing signs of distress as it struggled to break free from the crab pot rope and floats. The Marine Park Rangers finally found the dolphin and were able to cut it free. BIEPA received a number of phone
calls on Thursday afternoon from beach walkers who had spotted the dolphin in distress in the water off Woody Bay, south of Skirmish Point on Bribie’s eastern coastline.
