10 years ago, 18-year old Josh Park-Fing died at his forced labour #WorkfortheDole site in #Toowoomba.
Despite a court finding that Josh's Work for the Dole site did not meet basic safety standards, neither the government nor his for-profit privately owned employment service provider #NEATO were held accountable.
Josh's family weren't even provided normal workers compensation as Josh was technically not an 'employee'.

“Junior pay rates" applied to people below the age of 21, meaning 18-year-olds were paid 70 per cent of the award rate, 80 per cent for 19-year-olds and 90 per cent for 20-year-olds.

1973, Australia’s voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 by the Labor Government.
1 July 2025, National Minimum Wage $24.95 per hour or $948 per week.)

Fewer young people are taking starter jobs compared to last year. This is because they want work that gives them freedom and meaning.

(Sorry in advance for bombarding with hashtags, but..)

Yet again I plead to the #Fediverse to get #Fedihired as a paid or unpaid #DataAnalyst #intern. I'm not formally trained but (as uncomfortable as it is for me to boast) I truly feel that I have the cognitive *capability* of learning as I go. I want to see whether I actually *can* do so.

Unfortunately I'm guessing this is probably the worst possible time to try and break into the industry, however I am desperate and hoping for a miracle.

I've always been "self-taught" because I've never been an ideal student. It's how I learned to program #PHP, #SQL, and how I learned to work with #spreadsheets.

I might not be an expert with any of those topics but I usually managed to stumble my way through, and accomplish the goal I needed, serving my purpose for a previous employer for 8½ years, until their financial position necessitated my layoff.

I need real-life experience working with #Data and hopefully build a portfolio I can use for #gig work or a job or something.

So I'm reaching out to #selfemployed any #Data experts to ask if they might need help. Let me take a stab at some non-critical things.

If I suck, you're not out more than just a little bit of your time interacting with me; you were going to do it yourself anyway, right?

If I do it *well*, then you just got free labor, I get experience and potential portfolio fodder.

Plus you get the sense of pride from helping someone struggling to survive, and helping a #neurodivergent, #LGBTQ couple who both struggle with #MentalIllness and #poverty.

Obviously I will take *paid* work as well; remember, #MinimumWage in my state is still a measly seven dollars and twenty-five goddamned cents per hour, so you can go super cheap.

Think of it like you're rummaging through the bargain bin for temp workers and you decide to give some no-name brand a try: Me!!
