well basically I've finished school and now i have completed an apprenticeship as a chef.
however i have 3 options
-Go be a bricklayer with my Dad
pros
work outdoors
very very good money for the areas and people my dad works for
hands on work
work with my dad
cons
hard labour :/
have to be trained
need a liscence(not a drivers liscence i have that)
-Continue working with the current restaraunt im with
pros
Know everybody i work with
good foundation of friends
a girl im seeing works there ^^
good clean place
cons
hate the head chef
45 minute drive
cant really gain much for the future
-Go to a hotel where i will be a full time chef
pros
looks very good on my resume
nice friendly people
lots of workers
cons
1 hour drive._.
long shifts(like 13 hours sometimes)
late nights/all nights
so basically just wana know what path you would take :/
be a bricky, then when your back starts to cake it start as a chef again lol
believe it or not i thought about that lol

being a bricklayer might be a good job (if you like physical labour), it isn't a very good career.
You might earn decent money if you are a good bricky, thing is, you basically can't go into any other line of work without starting at the bottom, which kinda sucks given the nature of the work (and how it affects the body in the long term). I guess if you ran your own business or even subbied out and got people to work for you, you could still make money without having to put in the physical labour. Given the typical bricklayer, i wouldn't assume many would be able to run a successful bricklaying business.
I would recommend being a chef and gaining some formal qualifications.

go chef of hotel. It will get you places far. It will be worth it if you put the effort in and being a chef is what you really aspire too.

You're always going to hate people in your job but you just get over it <:
+ you say you need to be trained to be a bricky your dad is one pretty sure he can teach you unless his an ass.
or stick with the chef because you know people der <:
chef is a terrible job, i know a few the only routine i see is, when ever i ask a mate to come out (friday & saturdays) he is almost always working.....u work while we party and i believe the money isnt that great.....
bricklaying on the other hand....
like u said good money/ outdoor work, great for physicall fitness and if your working with your dad then your set... lenient boss's are the best kind
remember its your life think 10 yrs from now....u want to be cooking in a hot kitchen?
or be working in the hot sun?
I thought Chefs get a bomb load of money.. 13hour shifts. Dog watch. Be racking up on the coin.

by training i meant my dad training me but hes not qualified to give me a liscence of any sort hes jus ta bricky that works for himself and one other person.
Well you could get him to train you then go to a tafe or what ever you guys call it and get it there and you'll have a little more exp then the rest
Chef in a hotel, my uncle did similar and ended up being manager for a couple of resorts motels etc. Good money if you don't mind putting in the hours.
Don't stay at the same restaurant, working with your partner will be a bad choice if shit gets hektiK.

1 hour from the nearest hotel. Wow, where the hell do you live?

All the sites I've worked on and all the brickies I've seen have major problems with their bodies at the age of 35-40, but back when they started they would have had a lot more body cringing labour than nowadays. I would take the hotel job for 5 years, get a good reputable resume then go for another restaurant that is less demanding

my brothers a chef i could talk to him for you , but your a faggot to me so i be faggot to you bl
I'm 99% sure im the best, the other 1% is knowing
some people finish the first year .. n decide they dont want to do it as a career anymore..
anyway i said if u like being a chef then stick it out and get high up there
cause u can if ur good enough or get good enough
pay gets awesome the better places u go..
u can travel the world..

Dont be a brickie man, been down that road and seen way too many injuries/long term issues which ultimatley affect your standard of life.
Say you go huge and one day are making mega bucks. Still at 40 its going to hurt to get out of bed, and pain killers dont do the job after a while, trust me.
Brickies are honest workers, who are building houses for Australian families. Unfortunatley they dont get the medical support that they deserve, its close to the hardest body straining employment around.
Technology has progressed so far in the building industry, carpenters/roof tilers are falling less and less due to better saftey technologies, concreters now have standing levelers/concrete pumps, but it seems as though bricklaying has stayed (relativley) the same. Where are the egg heads on this one?
Bloody egg heads..
I think if you stuck it out for 4 years to finish your apprentice time, you should give that time and effort justice.
Just my opinionHope you make the right choice for your own needs

take the 3rd option. get more experience and something good on resume and keep working urself up. the cons arnt to bad. you will get more money but u wont have as much time to sped with your gf, but just spend some of that money on her and make sure she knows u care about her and just need to do it.

Option 3, you won't have to to the hour drive forever. Get a year or two under your belt and you'd be able to work somewhere closer wouldn't you at a nice restaurant?
If it's full time and the money is good you could always move out.
fuck summer
option 3, get some more experience. i assume its decent cash and you will prob learn heaps.
if after a year or 2 you get tired of that and find you aren't moving up, im sure you can go work with ya dad for 6 months to have a bit of a rest then you can probably go looking for a new job with a much better resume than you currently have
easily option 3, good luck

option 3, working with your girlfriend is bad, as is working under someone you hate

I'd be on atleast 50 rep power if it wasn't for martiN2h and his phaggotory crew. I just came home, opened my laptop all cosy in my bed, load up GG, see all the likes i received, then see my rep power go down. Hahaha
*nikoee out all day having fun*
*martiN2h home all day planning his schemes to lower my rep power, and obviously you and a few others*
little does he know, not a fuck was given. Strong age to maturity ratio martiN2h you stupid phuck hahaha. He must be 12 (srs), or simply has down-syndrome which has obliged him from leaving the basement. Normally we all know this isn't true, but in this case, i don't see how it isn't.
edit; but one thing he still doesn't understand is, i always get repped, because the content i post is all quality. All his reps are from his phaggotory crew.
Just rep him back like i do for the lols' - nikoee on not giving a fuck
drop them all and become a competitive counter-strike source player, i mean look at boomser going hard with all the bitches and money

Choose something you will enjoy.
-Go to a hotel where i will be a full time chef
I was a bricky and I didn't mind it as a job but I wouldn't work for your dad, getting a blue card isn't hard at all but if you ever happen to work for some one else in the field they wont hire you, they'll hire some one who has finished their pre-apprenticeship and hire an apprentice.
Stick with the qualifications you've got, chicks love a good cook as much as they love tradeys, stick to cooking.
Also to all the people associating back problems with bricklaying what on earth are you talking about? You talk to any bricky about their back and they'll tell you they use their knees, only the retards face back problems.
