I applied for a job with a company in Cov that helps manufacture these a couple of weeks ago looked interesting but the money was pretty crap...
I'm a contractor and most of the people I work with are but am aware of the situation as its a project which has a limited lifespan.
The company I was trying for do the armour plates for them, I believe the vehicles themselves are made in South America by the same company then shipped over here for the final touches Armour, ECM etc etc. The job was only some crappy stores job, was advertised at a decent rate then after the second interview turned out this wasnt the case. They asked me to go back for a third interview at a different location, told them to jog on. (In a nice way)
I've driven one
and lived in one, slept in one, hidden from mortars in one....
Second that, out of interest were you the one that shat next to me and stank the cab out?
Our LEC mechanics in Iraq were on $10 a day
I think quoting wages is all ******** as the cost of living is obviously a world away....also very crass
Just commenting on wages in different companies and how low the Local Nationals were paid....:Flush:
(i.e.a loaf of bread costs 2p in Iraq)
I'm not comparing it to here at all, no point doing that....I was just comparing on how different the locals get paid working for different companies over there....
The translator we had was paid $600 by our company plus $600 by the American engineering firm...
he must be living the dream now

Thanks for that V.
You are the first person that I have heard who understands what cr6p people quote about how people in other places get paid. It's like they don't uderstand that things are relative. £1 here may be equivalent to 250 or more of their currency, and as said a loaf could cost 2p.
I WAS comparing the daily wage to a UK equivalent because it's an indicator of economical differences. And I bet $10 a day was a good wage!
