My cousin Mark Dimaisip informed me of a booming demand in Australia and in other countries of a new field called Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). NDT is, well a form of testing that does not require the destruction of the sample or material. Quoting from Wikipedia, the nondestructive testing: …is vital for constructing and maintaining all types of components and structures. To detect different defects such as cracking and corrosion, there are different methods of testing available, such as X-ray (where cracks show up on the film) and ultrasound (where cracks show up as an echo blip on the screen).
NDT is a job more in-demand (I guess) than nursing because NDT technicians can work on various fields, from edifices to cars, from bridges to space shuttles (wah…).
The payment, according to www.myfuture.edu.au
reveals that around 76% of the NDTs are earning as low as $1000 a week. Haha! That’s as low as $4000 a month (or equivalent to… Php 160 000?!). Details on the said job can be found here, or you can search the details in Google yourself.
The training will be as difficult as hell, especially to those who are not interested in science—since NDT requires a lot of knowledge in science (ultrasound, x-ray, 2d echo, etc), and of course math.
Speaking of math, I have to go back to my room and grab my book for Calculus.*Hell.
