Thread: Pre baiting 1080

I and a few others I recognise on here went through a formal training program in pest destruction, most that stuck at it at all did it for the lifestyle and certainly not the money aspect.
That will only take you so far in a career and most got out to seek better paid employment once other life commitments came along.

As a skilled worker that had gone through training and living isolated i would expect in todays terms to be paid $40/hr minimum I dont see that happening, sure those that run such a course and manage the teams would probably be earning in excess of 120K for their 9 to 5 contribution but those on the ground would be financially going down hill from that and poorer work conditions.

When councils and DOC call for volunteers to "help" with this sort of thing it makes me cringe. They are preying on peoples good will, kind of like a pedophile preys on kids in an institution.
