Speaking to Brisbane-based tech start-up Getahead, which bills itself as “like Tinder, but for jobs”, the man revealed he works as a traffic controller for a living.
But it was when he revealed how much he makes from the job and how long it took him to qualify for it that provided the biggest shock.
The Aussie claims he earns “about $2k (£1,042) a week” for working “basic labour”.
However, he reveals that it isn’t a simple nine-to-five, Monday-to-Friday job – he has to put in 11 hour shifts to earn his money.
Nonetheless, he advised people to get started straight away if they want to get into the industry.
“It’s a great entry to the construction industry, aside from basic labour,” he said to Getahead on TikTok.
He explained that traffic controllers don’t “stand around and do nothing all day”.
“Sometimes you’re standing on a bat all day, other times you have to do what we do which is managing a site,” he said.
The worker even revealed that traffic controllers can earn up to $200,000 (£104,000) a year if they work on union sites – and the bigger the site, the more money you’ll earn.
Despite his comments about working hard, however, the workers revelation sparked a debate about how much traffic controllers are paid.
One person said: “The most overpaid job for the least work possible.”
A second added: “As an ex-traffic controller on a big construction site. I did f**k all and sat in the ute in an empty street getting paid $2700 a week after tax. I was on pedestrian watch lol.”
A third commented: “It’s very boring job but the pay is good.”
Elsewhere, a woman revealed how she quit university to earn over £100,000 a year doing a job no one wants.
However, she admitted there is a scary downside to her occupation and warned of the the hidden dangers of her job.
Another worker has also revealed how he works an unpopular job no one wants in order to rake in the cash.
Paul is a fly-in-fly out worker (FIFO) who can make £3,000 in just two weeks – but there is one catch.
