Default High paying jobs..

Yep, i'm being a greedy little child and looking for a higher paying job.. The way I figure it, i've got this year off to save for travelling/start of a house etc so I want to make the most of it.

Just wanting to know some areas that pay well without much experience in that industry needed.. For example i'm applying for a certain factory/company that is just same old factory work, but it's paying $33 and hour for shifts between 12am-6am. I've also got a mate working for triple A in Bayswater who drives a mini forklift around and gets between $22-40 bucks an hour and takes home around a grand a week.

I'm willing to work hard for the money, do night shifts etc as long as the pay is good. I was thinking about going up to a mine or oil rig but with band commitments in melb, i'd rather stay in the area (and make use of probably my last year at home, ie cheap board).

I'm currently earning crapola.. Working 6 days a week (thursdays off) from 8am-4.30/5 and usually take home around $400. It's fun working there (with friends) but i'm moving on soon and would like to be getting somewhere close to a grand or more. I'm looking into working with a mates boss (he's on apprenticeship) and that's around $700 a week, 5 days, pulling cables for home/industrial entertainment systems. So i figure there's probably even better oportunities than that out there.

So yep, any leads? Not really trying to be greedy, but trying to work smarter and not harder for my year off.

PS. It's in eastern/south eastern suburbs of Melbourne (Lilydale)

Cheers.
