What do you do for a living?

[Paulus1]

What did you expect that you would be doing??

[Mytical]

Old enough to know better, young enough not to care, and crazy enough to do it twice. Oh and I am a 'administrative assistant' which is just a fancy word for secretary that knows more then the boss does.

Isn't that exactly what a secretary is?! Man, i'm gonna hate working.

Work is the best, you get paid to do it, instead of paying to study!!!! Just think about it, I get paid $AU35 an hour to sit here, working and typing this message!!

the previous statement must be taken in the context of enjoying your job, just like I do .... if you hate your job it sucks

[Paulus1]

Your job is to post messages in here??

[asandir]

i had a funny feeling that comment was going to be misinterpreted .... unfortunately not .... but i am at work while i lurk on these boards, so i do get paid while posting here, but not FOR posting here .... if that makes sense

[ThunderTitan]

Work is the best, you get paid to do it, instead of paying to study!!!!

Someone's assuming people are actualy studying... over here we mostly pay to eventualy get a diploma, one way or the other. Frankly if i had enough money to throw around i wouldn't even bother waiting 4+1 bloody years. With the money you people are paying a year i'd have a diploma and enough left over to buy a decent house.

[asandir]

well I only paid the equivalent of about $5000 euros for my degree, which is pretty cheap compared to the $15000+ euros being paid by people now, as for a house, well the average house prices in Western Australia (my state) are about $220000 euros

my conversions are pretty rough, but close

[DaemianLucifer]

as for a house, well the average house prices in Western Australia (my state) are about $220000 euros

Wow!You could buy a whole city for that money here!

And $220000 euros doesnt mean a thing

[asandir]

well according to an online currency convertor .... that price works out to:
23,387,976 Serbian Dinar,
2,037,252 Danish Krone,
2,225,563 Norwegian Kroner,
349,586 US Dollars, and
272,963 Euro's

phew, that should cover most people, bear in mind as well, that that is the median price, the average price is a reasonable amount higher again!!

and as a matter of contrast, I just read an article that shows that Western Australia's current economic growth is the highest in the world, beating even China and India, and if house price growth continues for another 12 months in the same vein as last year we will have the highest priced housing for the average person in the anglophone world .... higher then Los Angeles, London, Dublin and San Fransisco .... which is really bad news for anyone who doesn't already own (or have a mortgage on) a house

and also likely to become so overheated that it will crash .... im hoping for a soft landing, but the longer this goes on, the less likely that will be

Tsk,tsk.You forgot 9,601,641,368.67 Romania Lei;2,008,281.50 Croatia Kuna;533,869.22 Bosnia and Herzegovina Convertible Marka

Damn,what is the currency afivefiveafiefivein is using?

which is really bad news for anyone who doesn't already own (or have a mortgage on) a house

But really good news for those that have a house,especially if they are planning to sell.

Nice tread!

[RaSmuShaDoW]

Btw 272 963 EUR is 942 487 Lithuanian Litas!

My apartment cost me 350 000 Litas

[asandir]

But really good news for those that have a house,especially if they are planning to sell.

not if you then plan to buy again

and that is a lot of Lei!!!!!

nice location Rasmushadow ....

[theLuckyDragon]

9,601,641,368.67 Romanian OLD Lei

... which is 960 164.136867 Romanian New Lei. Or, more realistically, 960 164 lei and 14 bani. Anyhow, it still is a more or less humongous amount.

[asandir]

so what could you get for that kind of money in Romania?? RaSmuShaDoW has given a price for an apartment in Lithuania .... what about the northern neighbours in norway and denmark? or DL in serbia?

just interested

[DaemianLucifer]

50k for a decent apartment,100 for an excelent one.Thats for the prices in the capitol.In the countryside,you can get a house your size,plus enormous field for some 30k.

[asandir]

100K serbian dinar???!!!!

so dare i ask what 23000K would get??

[DaemianLucifer]

I was talking about euros.We are cheap,but we arent that cheap

[asandir]

that's what i thought .... which seems roughly equivalent to what rasmushadow was saying .... cool
