[What do you do for a living?]

In Australia the school system is less oriented towards university. Trades skills are accommodated for in the last 2 years of high school with options to start your apprenticeship studies to make you more appealing to an employer because you have completed most of the study during school.

 

We have an enormous trade shortage in Australia, hence anyone with those skills is paid very well.

 

As for what I do for a living, I am an electrician by trade and have just finished working as the maintenance engineer on a gold / silver mine in Papua New Guinea. I have taken up a new position as the Maintenance Manager for a National Engineering Asset Hire company in Australia.

I disagree about the school system being less oriented toward university here, but I do agree a tradesman earns more than almost any other profession based on study vs wage. I used to earn less than my tradesman after completing a MBBS degree. I had to finish a RACS degree in order to get "over him" hehehe. Only took me twelve years of college lol

[2012 Golf Digest Hot List - RESULTS]

Oh my God! The Taylormade RBZ line hast o be the best ever!!! They didn't lose not even ONE gold medal! hahahaha

 

Each category has a "surprise" though. Wedges have the Scorgolf, Woods have a Yonex, irons have a Wilson (not the V2s, since they are not "good enough" for the list), but obviously they only get "silvers" (but is enough to make people think they actually did test "different" equipment.

 

At first it was funny, but it has become kind of boring with time. You can predict 90% of the list eight months before.

 

Although, the funniest thing is having the Callaway x and X-Black irons both with a gold when they are exactly the same club hehehehehe

 

I can bet you the 2012 list would look like this:

Callaway RAZR-Albatross

Nike VRS-Pro

TM RBZ-Scorch

Callaway X-Eagle

 

Putters:
