A SAVVY worker has revealed the job that earns him £7,000 a month which requires no experience.
Apparently it’s a job not many other people want to do – despite the extra benefits of free travel, food and accommodation.

FIFO jobs involve flying out temporarily to a work site, often for mining jobs, staying there for a week or two and then flying home for a few weeks off.
According to Professionals Australia, this method is most commonly applied to avoid permanently relocating the employee and their family to the site of work.
This Australian man, who posts under the username itinerar.y on TikTok, posted about the pros and cons of his job.
He flies out to Bali for mining stints, sometimes staying two weeks and then having a week off, or doing double that amount.
He described the pros of the job, including good pay and free food.
The FIFO advocate also explained that all of his flights are paid for along with his accommodation and the gym he uses.
However he also shared some of the drawbacks.
He has to spend “a lot of time away from family and friends”.
And his working days are long, he says he has to do 12 hour days even on the weekends.
The young FIFO worker also explained that he misses out on big events, concerts and birthdays with family and friends while he’s away.
“Let’s say we’ve got no experience, we just landed out first job. An entry-level job in the mines,” he explains.
“$2,000 to $3,000 a week is pretty much normal.
“Lets say you’re doing a 12 hour roster so two weeks of work one week off, that’s $4-6 grand.”
He went on: “When you’re on site you’re not spending a single dollar on accommodation, food.
“That’s where all the money starts to add up.”
He also shares videos of his time off, a lot of which he stays in Bali for.
They show incredible views of the warm country, beaches, vast jungles and gorgeous villas with huge pools where he stays while he’s there.
In one video he said he was able to travel to seven different countries in one year without taking any extra time off work.
And the FIFO job craze seems to be picking up.
One woman revealed that she makes £10,000 a month by doing the same thing.
The young Australian woman also works in mining and says she has “the best paid job” in the country.
She explained that her various roles include fitter, boilermaker, engineering, and electrician, the influencer said.
And she said that her employer also provides free accommodation, food, gym usage and the flight itself.
Another FIFO worker from Western Australia said he makes £8,000 a month from the same job.
Cal Mcllwaine is also a new starter in the mines, which he deemed “very lucrative”.
He said his expenses are very little when he is on the job as he is given both accommodation and food.
“You can literally come up here and spend zero dollars,” he said.
All of his saved cash goes into a “travel fund” for Cal as he pays no rent or insurance.
