Two former South Betoota bottom-feeders have kick-started their life by trading in their old low-paying jobs for high-paying ones.
Sam Finsbury used to break construction material into manageable pieces before throwing it into a skip bin for a living and his partner Amy Miller shot birds at the airport.
However, they’ve been able to buy their first property in Betoota’s recently gentrified West End district thanks to a little pearl of wisdom given to them by former treasurer Joe Hockey.
“It was really simple in the end,” said Finsbury.
“I just got a better job that paid like way more money. Plus, now I don’t need to take high-risk cash jobs from the boss like dumping asbestos somewhere in the middle of the night,”
“That and Amy got a way grouser job, so our combined income is now enough to buy where we think we deserve to own property.”
Sam is now a local orthopaedic surgeon with a private practice and Amy was recently promoted from an unlicensed pest control expert to a senior partner at Minter Piper Cubical Betoota.
However, Miller hopes to retrain as an anaesthetist next year so the couple can afford to marry, have children and be able to afford childcare.
“Honestly, if it wasn’t for Joe [Hockey] we’d still have bad jobs that only used to barely pay enough to keep us both alive,” said Amy.
“But we just got better ones that paid more, now our lives are better!”
More to come.
