New 'man' skills...
OK, so since I sit in front of a computer all day for my job I've decided to 'skill up' for 2013. Not a career change, just want to be able to do some 'man' skills (pauses for inevitable bedroom humour posts..)
So what I want to do is a basic bricklaying course, a basic welding course and get my truck license. I'll do them through the year, so not in a huge hurry. Anyone recommend the best places to get these? I'm thinking TAFE for the bricklaying and welding, no idea about the truck license? Any ideas?

We use keen bros for putting staff through the truck driving. Basically go and get your L's and then it is a half day course with these guys and you do your test at lunch time.
Their trucks are pretty old and shitty but they are cheap. You should get either your MR or HR license. LR (light rigid) is a waste of time. MR is basically anything single axle and HR is anything non articulated (i.e. concrete trucks etc). An MR is fine for Haul packs up north as they are single axle if you ever wanted to go down that road. Brendon

Bricklaying course? just buy a box of lego and play with that for a day. Brick laying is seriously the easiest thing ever, i wouldnt waste a course on that. Welding is a very handy thing to be able to do though. I wouldnt call having a truckie lisence a man skill either, if you can already drive a normal car it wont take you long to get the hang of a truck, which is pretty much just a bigger car.
Learn knots and shit, how to tie things off on trucks, cars, boats etc. Learn how to use tools. Start a project of some sort, like make a work bench for your shed or somthing. You will get more out of this than a bricky's course which you will prob rarely even do in the real world.

Just research the other two and get on to it, build something in the garden, a bar, bbq, retaining wall.
Fix up an old trailer, build a sculpture, weld a new spoiler on to your roof. You'll learn heaps, everyone else will appreciate your work along with you. The level of achievement and satisfaction once you've finished it will be awesome. |

Do a barista course.
May not seem manly at first, but imagine saying to some girl "hey baby wanna come back to mine for a coffee?", then whilst she's there throwing her panties on the floor, you're busting out a soy macchiato. Bitches love soy macchiatos. |

Best man skill I learnt in 2012 was how to have redtube playing whilst downloading off youporn at the same time without slowing down the first video.
No one likes jerking frames whilst playing jerking games

you can do pre-apprentice ships at balga tafe for plastering/floor & wall tiling/brick laying/welding/carpentry and other trades. Im pretty sure they still do it, probs cost like $400-500.
