@TAB Wow, you have done so much. I worked for lawyers since that age of 19 up until I was 48. Started off in the accounts section doing data entry of the lawyers timesheets. And then they decided that the payroll lady needed a back up person, so that was me. By the time I left that firm 15 years later, I did the payroll, accounts receivable and payable, managed the trust account and reconciled all the partners AMEX and Credit Cards. But I really enjoy that sort of work. My last employers were PIGS, so if I ever get to the point that I am reliable enough to work without having anxiety or suffering from depression every month, I will not work for lawyers again. They pay you well, but they expect too much from you and it digs into your personal time that should be spent with your family. 

My 15 year old daughter is at the stage where they are trying to decide what career path she wants to take. So far her choices have been a Deep Sea Fisherman, a Truck Driver and a Brickie. She said that she wants to be able to have fun at work.

I was thinking that maybe if she gets into the mines driving the trucks. A friend in Cairns did that, and was told they prefer female drivers as they are more gentle on the trucks. Do you know where would I go to look at career opportunities in the mines? I just want somewhere to direct her, so she can have a look and see what she thinks.
