    Being from Canberra - I must work for the Government - true - but there are worse jobs around.

    Plenty of domestic travel as well as the occasional OS trip makes this job even more enjoyable. While there are bludgers in the public service (as there are in most other workplaces) the vast majority of us work hard and occasionally do some good.

    Oops he will probably yell at me too!

    Back on topic. No such thing as a dream job. As soon as you're obliged to do something, (show up to work) it is no longer a dream but a nightmare!

    Not a matter of not believing it, i have worked in transport and logistics the last 5 years, i've never seen guys on this sort of money for 3 days work let alone for a week.

    Well that's definitely true. Not sure how I'd go working from home. Might not have the will power and slack off!

    I dont really work during the day, i do it at night. Basically my boss has given me the following rule, get the work done and he doesnt care what i do the rest of the time. Admittedly i dropped my last wage(approx 10k) for this one, but i get monthly bonuses dependant on company profit, i get great car allowance and unlimited annual leave. So considering im well over the 65k bracket its a damned sweet job, one that i wont leave any time soon.

    I know some people say a dream job isn't real but mine is as close as it gets. I work in IT as a Computer OPS manager and I am basically a head techo/troubleshooter and will earn 75K and above from this time next year.

    I get to play with all the new gadgets we have and also get fantastic training
