Locost job

Light Engineering shop in China

Wanted: enterprising mechanically minded young man to work in China for minimum 1 year developing race cars and other machinery. Standard small engineering practices, machinery use and lateral thinking apply – no tickets required but intelligence is! Previous experience in engineering or mechanical workshop please.

This is a great chance to live and learn another culture as well as another language. Salary will be paid at Chinese level for Westerners ensuring your stay to be quite comfortable. Housing will be provided and all work meals. Air flights will be paid for one way after the first months work, return after 6 months standard work performance.

This is a small personal 6 year old company led by an Australian and there is further opportunity for a person that shows tenacity and sharpness combined with management skills.

I mentioned young bloke but the age isn't an issue but the wage expectations would be. I will pay double the local wage which is great here but by Oz standards is [PooPoo] and theres no way you would be able to send any worthwhile money home or have anything at the end of a stint.

More a working holiday for a young bloke who might be living at home who wants to see the world, learn some skills, have a bit of fun etc. and not be out of pocket. I don't see it being financially viable for someone older.

China is a developing, very modern, very safe and fun place to be right now so try expanding your horizons!

Hell, now all I need is to go back in time 23 years, a wife and four kids.

Sounds like fun.

Probably too good to be true.

He's a regular poster over on Locost and seems to be real.

The description leaves out the "opportunity to contract lung cancer due to the oppressive pollution which envelops major cities due to the unregulated burning of fossil fuels."

I'll pass.

My dad spent a week in a major city in China (that I never heard of) and most of the time he was in a high rise building. His view was smog, until the very end of the week when the winds changed and he found out it was an ocean front city.

But I heard the countryside is much nicer.

My brother said the same thing. He was on the 25 floor of a build ing and he said he could hear the people downstairs sneeze.

Yeah, been there, seen that. south China is devoid of blue skies in the urban areas, and the urban areas are intense. The water tasted like burned clutch, no kidding.

If you're serious about adventure and not real serious about money, it could be a lot of fun. If I was single and just getting out in the world, I would seriously consider it. If I found something that paid well, I'd consider it now for a couple years. China seemed to be an amazing place to be right now.

I know that guy!!! He's actually a good friend of mine.

I am a bit curious about what is being avoided by manufacturing in China above any other place. Costs? Regulation?

Married and no pass port. Pass

All of the above.

I am totally UNqualified for this job....where do I apply ?

Safe? I guess it's safe, as long as you're not a miner, criticizing the government, or chewing on kid's toys.

If I was young and single, I'd be all over this.

Some of my favourite things come from China, like motorcycles

There's a motorcycle in that picture? I hear Chinese woman like white guys, and theres a couple hundred million, who wouldn't like those odds?
