hi all just wanted to complain a little and see if anyone else has done the same ****.
basically i started as a Graphic arts (printing) apprentice 4 years ago. last week i recieved my certificate only to realise my pay only increased $0.90 upto $17.01. I have worked my arse off the whole apprenticeship dealing with the horrid money issues ive had thinking when i finish ill get something decent. this is approx what i've been earning:
0-6 months $235 p/w ($8ph)
6-12 months $270 p/w ($8.90ph)
12-24 months 320 p/w ($10.30ph)
24-36 months 360p/w ($11.50ph)
36-42 months 420 p/w ($14?)
42-48 months 510 p/w ($16.10)
now have been increased to flat 17. i feel like i have wasted the last 4 years of my life for nothing. my sister is earning more then me on the dole.
just venting.. anyone else done an apprenticeship and feel the same way?
