To pay the rent, Laetitia has found a part-time job working for civil engineering consultancy firm, Cardno Ullman & Nolan, in Paget on the south side of town near the airport. We live in North Mackay so this is a 15 - 20 min car drive in the morning. Laetitia misses Brisbane's public transport.
CU & N specialises in sub-divisions and Laetitia's job consists mainly of writing engineering reports for small sub-division development applications.
Although only working three days a week, Laetitia earns more than Ian does working full-time. Granted, Laetitia has been in her industry for around a decade whereas this is Ian's first year as a teacher, however, we see it as a reflection of the status that teachers have in Australian society.
