depends where your working, at tip top the sparkies dont get dirty at all, basically spend most of the day making toast and going around resetting overloaded motors or occasionally changing fluoros (urgh!) and they get about 80k, tho they do have to work in shifts for that not hard for a sparky to earn 65k without doing any overtime tho. an electrical engineer could probably easily get double that tho bit of a difference tho.

How long does the tafe course go for? Must re-search it a bit more!

As said start from bottom and work up...If you have the connections or good relations to any performance workshop you have way more of a chance to get in as someone else...Thats if you have the knowledge and experience of course...
