It's the bitch of living, just getting out of bed - Spring Awakening

               “Jason, get up, you have class in half an hour,” Dick called up to the loft as he finished setting out the terrible eggs he made whenever Jason slept late.  He sat up in bed, looking at his phone, sighing as it had no notifications, well it had one text but not from the person he wanted one from.  Sydney wished him a happy first day of classes and he answered before getting dressed.  He skipped the eggs, grabbing an apple and throwing out a quick bye to his brother as he headed down to the garage for his bike. 

               He had finished high school and after a long and drawn argument with Dick about not just living as a vigilante his whole life and maybe having some kind of day job for when his knees finally buckled under the weight of trying to save an entire city.  So here he was driving his bike towards Gotham University, taking all general education courses because he had no idea what he wanted to try and do for a career.  He did know that he was going to be in theater, his director from Bludhaven Prep had written him a great recommendation letter, but only if he continued to act, and honestly, he wanted to act.  It was nice to become someone else, take a break from his brain.  His therapist liked it also, said it helped Jason get out of his head.  What he didn’t expect was walking into his first class, Modern Literature 101 and sitting by the window in the front corner, was YN. 

               She wasn’t looking at him, reading one of the books for the class, doing notations.  After a second Jason realized he was blocking the door so he slid around to the back corner of the class, sitting before she could look up.  He watched her, concentrating on her book and every single emotion he felt last year came flooding back.  She had left, they kept in touch until around May and then she had vanished.  He didn’t know why but he had a bad feeling about it.  He wouldn’t confront her now, but he hoped he could snag her after class, speak with her, just see how she was.  He stared at her until he heard his name, looking up to the professor.

               “Mr. Todd?” she repeated.  He smiled awkwardly, clearly having missed the first time she said his name.

               “Ya that’s me,” he said.  He looked down and then looked at YN who was staring back at him, eyes wide.  He waved a little and she turned, facing forward again, leg starting to bounce like it did when she was anxious.  The syllabus was handed out and he proceeded to ignore his teacher, instead categorizing how YN had changed in the last eight months.  Hair was longer, she leaned on her hand, eyes looking tired, she had car keys sitting on her desk, so she drove now.  She glanced back at him, and he tore his eyes away from her, trying to focus on class.  As soon as they were dismissed he tried to bounce up and catch her but two people in front of him started talking and he couldn’t get around them fast enough.  By the time he got into the hallways she was gone. 

               He had two other classes that day, but YN wasn’t in either of them.  The only hope he had was the theater meeting that night for the Gotham U Players.  They were doing a sign up and talking about their productions that year, so Jason got there early, signed up quickly and then looked around the room.  He was first beside the upper classmen advisors, so he took a seat near the door.  She would be here, and she wasn’t going to sneak by him again.  He waited, the place filling up with other university students.  They started and about three minutes into the meeting YN came in, signing up quick and sitting down two rows in front of Jason, once again preventing him from talking to her. 

               This was pathetic, was he going to just chase her around all year until she talked to him?  He wasn’t a stalker, but he was considering seeing if Dick could get her address before he got home so that he could go knock on her door.  But that would be bad.  He shook himself, coming back to the meeting where they announced that the first production this year was going to be a musical.  Jason’s eyebrows rose so high they probably disappeared into his hair.  He had not considered a musical, ever.  He looked down at YN, catching her turning to look back at him, whipping her head forward when she saw him watching.

               “Auditions for Phantom of the Opera are next week, come with a song prepared and remember, if you are not cast you are part of the stage crew and we will be having you learn to be directors, sound techs, light techs, and set design so don’t be discouraged.  And in the spring we will do a play so those who can’t sing will still get time on stage,” the club president announced before dismissing them.  Jason once again jumped up, ready to grab her but this time she swerved him by taking a side door.  He jumped a couple rows, racing out the door after her, probably looking insane, but he didn’t care.

               “YN!” he called, chasing after her as she walked towards the parking lot.  She took a couple steps before stopping.  He ran around in front of her, panting a little from running to catch her.  Why did cardio only work when he was chasing criminals?

               “Hi Jason,” she said, and he could have sworn he heard angels singing in her voice.  He missed it so much.  “Didn’t know you were coming here.”

               “Ya, well, here I am, why you trying to get away from me?” he asked.  She chuckled a little, always right to the point, no small talk for him.

               “I wasn’t trying to get away from you, I was surprised and was trying to figure out if you hated me.  The way you were staring in class I was freaked out, you used to give that look to Chelsea and them when they annoyed you, its so intense,” she said.  Jason blushed some, shrugging.

               “I didn’t mean to look like that, I just…well you did kind of ghost me and it is a bit annoying,” he said.  She looked down and he could have kicked himself.  “But I mean, I know you probably had a reason…”

               “My mom died,” she said.  He froze.  “The treatment in Singapore, it didn’t take.  We stayed there because it would have been too destabilizing for her to travel home so the donor made sure she was comfortable there until the end and then I came back in May.”

               “Why didn’t you call me?” he asked.  She bit her lip, wiping her eyes quick.

               “I wasn’t in a good headspace at the time.  I came back and I thought about calling you, but then I found Sydney’s social media and saw you guys together and figured you didn’t need me coming in and ruining that with my grief.  I figured you had moved on I should too,” she explained.  O no.  He hung his head a little.

               “I was never dating Sydney,” he said.  “She um, is not exactly into guys.”  Her eyes looked up at him.  “She mostly posted pictures with me to make Jackson leave her alone until graduation.”  YN blushed.

               “Well don’t I feel petty, jealous, and stupid,” she said.  Jason laughed.  “Well, either way I still wasn’t in a good headspace, I needed counseling and to figure myself out before school started.  I promised my mom I would go to school no matter what, so here I am.”

               “Where are you staying?” he asked. 

               “I have an apartment off campus in Old Gotham, the grant money from the Leading Lady award should pay for it and my school for a year and then I’ll figure something else out,” she explained.  “What about you?  Still living with Dick?”

               “Ya, still living with Dick,” he said.  “Um, would you maybe want to hang out sometime?”  She looked worried, biting her lip.  He was tempted to kiss her but had to pull himself back.  She was different now, he was different now, who knows how much that changed how they felt about each other. 

               “Sure, I’m free this weekend, still trying to get a new job since the pool I worked at in the summer is closed now,” she said.  He nodded.  “Let me give you my new number, I had to change it because Maroni kept calling.”

               “So, you’re not next in line in the family yet?” he asked as she put her number into his phone.

               “God no, he contacted me, tried to convince me to join him but had no leverage since my mom was being taken care of,” she said.  Jason motioned for her to walk to the lot, walking with her to her car.  It looked a bit like a death trap.  “Its not much but it runs.  You still on the bikes?”  He pointed to his bike a few spaces down.  “Thought that was yours when I got here.  Do you still do the other stuff you did?”  She tapped her head and he assumed she meant being Red Hood.

               “Ya, nightly,” he answered.  She smirked a little.  “But now I have to have Dick stitch me up, so much less cool scars.” 

               “You needed someone better than me for that,” she said.  He shrugged.  “Well, I guess I’ll see you around.  Text me, ok?” He nodded and watched her drive away.  His heart sped up a little when he thought about the fact that he was going to be able to see her at least a few times a week, maybe every day.  He hadn’t thought college would be that exciting, but things were about to change, he could feel it.

On September 19th 1778, Henry, Lord Brougham, the Scottish Whig statesman and jurist was born in Edinburgh.

Henry Brougham, the eldest son of Henry Brougham and Eleanora Syme Brougham, was born at the top of the West Bow, aged 14 he was enrolled at the University of Edinburgh, Henry Brougham displayed a remarkable talent for learning in a city steeped in the cosmopolitanism of the Scottish Enlightenment

He made his way to London, where he began a long career as a Whig politician and reformer. Trained as a lawyer and called to both the Scottish and English bars, Brougham made a name, as well as a substantial income, in this profession. The legal victory for which he acquired the most recognition was his 1820 defense of Queen Caroline in the House of Lords. Brougham had served as her legal advisor since 1812 and became her attorney general when George IV insisted on a divorce soon after inheriting the throne. After Brougham delivered a speech that lasted for two days, the bill to dissolve the royal marriage passed the Lords with only a handful of votes, which convinced the government to drop the matter and avoid what promised to be a crushing defeat in the Commons. As the public demonstrations celebrating the queen's victory demonstrated, popular opinion was firmly with the queen, and thus also with Brougham.

Commentators at the time recognized that Brougham's rhetorical skills far surpassed his understanding of complex legal issues. His particular talents were perfectly suited for politics. He began his political career in journalism, when in 1802 he helped Sydney Smith, Francis Horner, and Francis Jeffrey establish The Edinburgh Review, a quarterly periodical with a strong Whig bias that soon became a leading platform for political debate. I have posted about The Review and it's founders inprevious posts. Brougham frequently contributed articles, which in the first eight years of the Review's run numbered over one hundred. Brougham entered Parliament for the first time in 1810 as MP for Camelford. Though he lost and regained seats in Parliament over the years, he nevertheless managed to attain high political office by serving as lord chancellor from 1830 to 1834 in the administrations of the prime ministers Charles Grey and Lord Melbourne.

Brougham was routinely associated with the radical wing of the Whig Party, since his positions reflected those of many nineteenth-century reform movements. He was an early supporter of the abolitionists and promoted their efforts to end the slave trade.

Brougham encouraged one of the most significant political shifts of the century by making parliamentary reform a main tenet of his election campaign in Yorkshire in 1830 and then by helping to secure passage of the 1832 Reform Act.

is interest in educational policy took him in several directions. First, in 1820 he proposed a bill promoting publicly funded education; the bill failed, but Brougham remained committed to the cause. Second, in 1826 he founded the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, which published cheaply priced works aimed at the working classes. And third, he was among the active supporters of England's first nonsectarian university, the Unversity of London.

Brougham became Parliament's most consistent champion of law reform, in part because in 1828 he delivered a brilliant six-hour speech that turned law reform into a popular cause. He established the judicial committee of the Privy Council, a central criminal court, and bankruptcy courts, and he also laid the foundation for a county court system.

Brougham had an interest in science as well as politics. He was a fellow of the Royal Society and was credited with designing the brougham, a four-wheeled carriage. He died and was buried at Cannes, where his frequent residence during the last three decades of his life helped make the French Mediterreanean town a destination for British tourists.

Why Choose a Family Lawyer?

Family lawyers can help with this process by ensuring that birth parents are informed and that the adoption is in their best interests.

This is referred to as the “asset pool.” We also take into account superannuation. It can be very complicated and time consuming to separate superannuation from other property, but it is important that this is done correctly.

Is It Worth Paying for a Financial Advisor in Australia?

Time Savings: Managing finances can be time-consuming and stressful. Hiring a financial advisor allows clients to focus on other aspects of their lives while knowing their financial matters are being handled by an expert.

Long-Term Financial Health: A good financial planner can help clients develop a sustainable plan for long-term wealth accumulation and preservation, ensuring that their financial future is secure.

Accountability: A financial advisor holds clients accountable for their financial decisions, helping them stick to their plans and make adjustments as necessary.

Many individuals find that the expertise, customized strategies, and ongoing support provided by professionals like James Hayes lead to enhanced financial security and peace of mind.

The Importance of Financial Planning in Australia

A Certified Financial Planner can provide invaluable insights into market trends and economic conditions, allowing clients to make informed decisions.

Achieving Financial Goals

A Certified Financial Planner like James Hayes can alleviate this stress by providing structured plans and ongoing support. Knowing you have a professional looking out for your financial well-being can provide peace of mind.

The Value of Professional Financial Advice

Avoiding Costly Mistakes

Maximizing Returns

A well-structured financial plan can lead to better investment returns. James Hayes uses his expertise to help clients make informed investment choices, ensuring their money is working as effectively as possible.

Navigating Retirement in Sydney: Tips and Traps for Financial Planning

Retirement is a significant milestone, marking the transition from years of work to the golden years of relaxation and enjoyment. However, navigating retirement in Sydney requires careful financial planning to ensure you can live comfortably and achieve your post-career dreams. Here, we delve into essential tips and common traps to avoid, ensuring your retirement in Sydney is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. For comprehensive financial planning advice, you can explore Macarthur Wealth Management, their superannuation services, and their investment strategies.

The Importance of Early Planning

One of the most crucial aspects of retirement planning is starting early. The earlier you begin, the more time you have to build a substantial nest egg. Investing in a solid superannuation fund is an effective way to save for retirement. Superannuation, as highlighted by Macarthur Wealth Management, is the cornerstone of retirement savings in Australia. They offer comprehensive guidance on superannuation, helping you understand the various options available and how to maximise your returns.

Diversify Your Investments

Relying solely on superannuation might not be enough. Diversifying your investments is essential to mitigate risks and enhance potential returns. Consider a mix of assets, including stocks, bonds, and real estate. Macarthur Wealth Management provides expert advice on various investment strategies tailored to your retirement goals. By diversifying, you can protect your savings from market volatility and inflation, ensuring a stable income stream during retirement.

Understand Your Expenses

Many retirees underestimate their post-retirement expenses, leading to financial shortfalls. It's vital to create a detailed budget that accounts for all potential costs, including healthcare, travel, and leisure activities. Living in Sydney can be expensive, so it's crucial to have a clear understanding of your financial needs. Regularly reviewing and adjusting your budget can help you stay on track and avoid overspending.

Avoid Common Traps

While planning for retirement, there are several traps to watch out for:

Underestimating Longevity: With advancements in healthcare, people are living longer. It's essential to plan for a longer retirement period to ensure you don't outlive your savings.

Ignoring Inflation: Inflation can erode your purchasing power over time. Ensure your investments can keep pace with inflation to maintain your lifestyle in retirement.

Over-Reliance on Government Pensions: While government pensions can provide a safety net, they might not be sufficient to cover all your expenses. It's crucial to have additional savings and investments to support your retirement lifestyle.

Seek Professional Advice

Navigating the complexities of retirement planning can be challenging. Seeking professional advice can make a significant difference. Financial planners, like those at Macarthur Wealth Management, offer personalised advice tailored to your unique circumstances and goals. They can help you create a comprehensive retirement plan, ensuring you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

Embrace Flexibility

Retirement plans should not be static. Life circumstances and financial markets can change, requiring you to adapt your strategies. Regularly reviewing your retirement plan with a financial advisor can help you stay on track and adjust your investments and savings as needed.

Conclusion

Retirement in Sydney can be a dream come true if planned properly.

Episode 4- Hieronymus Bosch's St. John in the Wilderness

Welcome to Long Live Bat Art, the podcast for art lovers who don’t see art as much as they want to. My name is Sydney and thank you for taking this slow tour through an art gallery with a casual art lover. Today, I’ll be talking about St. John in the Wilderness by Hieronymus Bosch. I hope you enjoy. 

Hieronymus Bosch is actually a pseudonym for Jheronimus van Aeken, but I’ll continue to call him Bosch. He was born around 1450 in the town of ‘s Hertogenbosch- which was probably where he got his pseudonym- in Brabant, now part of the Netherlands. His grandfather Johannes Thomaszoon van Aeken, or maybe Jan van Aeken, was also a painter who had five sons, four of which became painters as well. Because of Johannes’ career, his children and grandchildren had lives that were fairly comfortable.

Bosch’s father, Anthonius, was a painter who acted as an artistic advisor for the Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady, which was a volunteer group that promoted the veneration of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God. In 1486 or 1487, Bosch himself joined the brotherhood where he did some of his earliest commissions, but sadly none survive. It’s logical that either Bosch’s father or uncles taught him to paint, but unfortunately it’s unclear because none of his family’s works lasted to the present. 

Bosch was a pessimist and strict moralist. Most of his paintings reflect both that and his general misanthropy and distrust of the nature of humanity. Most of his works also had a moral attached to them, but most of the precise messages have been lost because of time and the changing of morals and images throughout time. Nowadays, he’s been lauded as having deep insight into humanity’s desires and fears that were shown in his work. While that may be true, negativity isn’t the only reason to make art or the lens through which to see it. Positivity can have depth too, sometimes more than negative. 

Between 1479 and 1481, Bosch married his wife Aleyt Goyaerts van den Meerveen. Bosch gained social status and more wealth because of the marriage. It was after this that Bosch had enough capital to start a workshop. 

Critics of his time thought he must have been involved with the occult, but researchers now just think he was one of the first to use abstraction to represent ideas. In fact, researchers have tended to disagree vehemently about the thought process behind Bosch’s work over the centuries. Some say that his work is typical of the conservatism of the time, some say that the work was created only to amuse the audience, some say he created monstrous forms just for the Hell of it. Whatever camp of interpretation you fall under, there’s one thing that’s clear- Bosch has survived in the art world for a reason. And that reason is debate. 

In addition to his other works, Bosch also did altarpieces and designed stained glass. But art historians have been able to track his evolution as an artist fairly successfully- as one might expect, his works when he was a beginner show a hesitancy and awkwardness that gets less and less pronounced as he worked. His style also cemented itself as he developed. His work has been split into three categories- early, middle, and late period. 

It was apparently popular at the time to imitate his style and/or subject matter, as I detailed last episode with Pieter Bruegel the Elder who was one of his most loyal and well-known followers. But because his style was so unique, few were successful in reproducing it exactly. Unlike most Flemish painters at the time, Bosch sometimes didn’t hide his brushstrokes- instead, he showcased them with his sketchy style. 

Unusual during most artists’ lifetimes, Bosch was fairly renowned- his work was collected in the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain. His depictions of Hell were especially popular. 

While around 40 artworks have been attributed to Bosch, he signed only seven and dated none of them. Most of his works are on wood panels in oil paint and most of his more famous ones are triptychs, which are pieces of work on wood that have been joined together with hinges and can be folded up as needed. 

Bosch died in 1516. After his death, in the late 1500s, Phillip the Second of Spain actually got his hands on most of Bosch’s paintings. And as one might expect from looking at the imagery in his work, the Surrealists in the 1920s- including Dalí- drew inspiration from and otherwise admired his work. 

Now, for those of you not well-versed in the Bible, you might be confused as to why a man would choose to live in the wilderness. St. John the Baptist lived in the wilderness for the same reason monks live in monasteries and nuns in convents away from everyone else. St. John believed that civilization is where sin is plentiful, and the wilderness is where you should go to connect with God. St. John believed, as people have throughout history, that to commune with God you should be alone. Now, onto the painting.

The painting is realistic with surrealist or abstracted elements. St. John is lying on the ground behind a surrealist plant. The lower half of his body is lying on the grassy ground with his torso, arms, and head resting on a raised area. It looks like a mini grassy cliff, or maybe a natural altar.

St. John is wearing a loose faded red clothing item, the cloth pooled around him with a single foot exposed. The folds are geometric but shaded. St. John himself has a long, scraggly brown beard and hair of the same texture and color. His left elbow is against that natural altar and he’s supporting his head on that hand. He looks morose. He’s trailing the forefinger of his right hand along the natural altar like he’s drawing something. 

The surrealist plant that I mentioned that’s in front of St. John- it’s green, with a wide stem at the bottom that tapers as it goes upwards. The single fruit is large and round, and white in color. It looks like marble- it has blue-toned veins running through it. There’s a small bird that’s perched on part of the plant and eating the seeds. The plant’s leaves are large and flat. The stem that leads to the fruit or flower is curved and thorny, with the exception of the part the bird is perched on. Quite convenient. There’s a fallen fruit that’s on the altar, its pod facing away from St. John with its seeds spilling out. The top of the plant above the round fruit is thinner, with a flat disk growing around it. Imagine a straw sticking out of the hole of a cup's top. At the top, the stem splits into two. The right fork has a smaller gray fruit with white speckles and a black bird perched on it. Not a crow or raven, it’s very small. The left fork ends in a sharp bend that tapers into a soft curve. What looks like pink leaves or maybe a large upside down butterfly is hanging from the curve. The front of the altar has exposed dirt with white roots coming out. There’s a lamb laying in front of it, its legs folded underneath itself. The trees to the right of the image- they have straight and skinny trunks with the leaves suggested by dark green highlighted at the tips with a lighter shade. As they recede into the distance, they get more yellow and less green. There are several animals in the yellowing grass in the distance. A few antelope, a boar, and a couple of bears, one scratching its back against a tree.

The mountains in the background are blue-toned and rounded. The mountain slightly closer is again, surreal. It’s pale, and I can see what looks like a rabbit on its hind legs in the face, hugging another figure. But I can’t quite figure out what I think the second one is.

More trees in the same style at the top of Rabbit Mountain. To the right, just behind the dark green trees, is a large dead tree. It has a large bulb on the right side of it, like a massive wasp’s nest. Birds are flying behind the tree in a line, not a ‘v.’

Now for my thoughts. 

I never really ‘got’ surrealism or abstract art. Mixed with realism, it’s even odder. But I like it in this case- mixes the mundane with the strange. And the trees are a mix of realistic and a touch of abstraction because leaves don’t look like that. As I mentioned, St. John looks morose. Or maybe he’s just bored, who knows. I know I would be if I lived alone with no one around to talk to or connect with. 

As far as the religious aspect of the painting, I feel a strong connection with it. I don’t live in the wilderness- as you might expect because I run a podcast- and I don’t eat locusts or wear animal fur, but I do believe faith should be private. That’s not saying you shouldn’t tell people what you believe, but I mean that you shouldn’t try to shove religion down anyone’s throat. I don’t believe in missionary trips, I don’t believe in going door to door and telling people about your God, or TV preaching where you ask for donations. 

I remember seeing some TV show or movie or other thing and a character saying to another that he ‘prays too loud.’ And I really do believe that one can do that. There are people that only believe in their God in theory and don’t fully understand the teachings. I can only speak for Roman Catholics because that’s the religion I know the best, but even Catholics can learn a few things from the person they claim to know so well. There are Catholics who say that God hates this group or that group. But that’s the opposite of what God stands for. You can go and look through the entire Bible, but you won’t find any instance of God or Jesus saying ‘I don’t like these people, and they should be damned.’ And if you go and quote Leviticus at me, don’t bother. The Bible has been translated and changed through the thousands of years, by people who had their own agenda. Books have been added, books have been left out. Words that used to mean so much have been translated beyond understanding. There are whole concepts that don’t apply any more. And just to add, Leviticus also forbids wearing more than one kind of fabric and I don’t see any Catholic advocating for the damnation of anyone wearing a nice cotton blend. The main point of Jesus is that he loved. And not just anyone, but everyone. The man hung out with lepers, prostitutes, and tax collectors- the people on the fringes of society, the ones that were hated in their time. 

Now, I’m not extremely religious, but I do believe in God. I don’t go to any particular place of worship regularly, though I might stop in from time to time. My faith is quiet and private, and I don’t pray the way people tend to, with flowery or carefully-recited words. But I do pray. And that act, that distinctly human act, brings me comfort. 

And me saying that isn’t to bash atheists or people who don’t believe in much of anything. Quite the opposite. My thinking is that those people might be the best kind because there’s no belief in any reward for their doing good. There’s no grand prize of an afterlife of happiness. They’re just humans helping humans. Because they can. Because they want to. And that’s a pretty good way to live. 

I’m going to challenge you. Help one other person today. You don’t have to solve world hunger or bring about world peace. One person. It could be your neighbor you don’t talk to besides to exchange hellos. Offer to set out their garbage cans for them next time. It could be your elderly family member. Ask to get together soon and just talk over a cup of coffee. Get at least one of their stories. It could be a complete stranger. It could be as simple as holding the door open for someone with a stroller or a lot of bags. It could be just paying someone a compliment- someone that there’s one feature that you know gets most of the attention in a negative way, like crooked eyes or buck teeth. Compliment something else about them. Help just one person. Because if everyone just forgets that they believe in a Higher Power, and instead takes it upon themselves to help at least one other person, then maybe we will solve world hunger or get world peace. Because little kindnesses are never little to the person who’s having it done for them. Maybe it’s been a really bad week for them and you gave them a nice surprise. Maybe they’ll then turn around and help someone else to share that fortune. Because that’s what kindness is- a fortune. It costs almost nothing and means everything.

Top 12 Highest Paying Jobs in Australia

With wages failing to keep up with inflation and cost of living pressures intensifying, many Australians are on the hunt for higher paid work. While record numbers are turning to side hustles, others are jumping ship to new organisations or even industries for more lucrative remuneration.

Unlike in the United States, the ‘Great Resignation’ did not eventuate in Australia, however one in three workers aged between 25 and 55 are currently considering quitting their jobs. This is not necessarily due to the desire for higher pay—it could also include burnout, lack of career progression or dissatisfaction with management. However, pay and wellbeing are consistently ranked as the two most important things to employees. With that in mind, here are some of the most lucrative professions in Australia. The below data is provided by Hays Recruitment, and is based on their annual pay guide, which was released on June 1.

Forbes Advisor has created a separate list for medical professionals, as these are highly specialised careers and offer a range of roles that pay well above average salaries. Please note that salaries may vary according to a number of factors, such as the state you live in or if you live in an urban or rural area, your specific qualifications and the length of time you’ve been employed with a particular company or in a specific role.

The Highest Paying Jobs in Australia in 2023

Legal: Equity Partner (up to $850,000)It takes considerable time and dedication to become an equity partner in a law firm but the pay, once you get there, is considerable. Equity partners in top private practices in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney report average salaries of more than $500,000, with Sydney topping the list at $850,000 plus.

Meanwhile, a general counsel typically earns between $250,000 and $400,000.

Executive: CEO and MD ($700,000) If you’re a CEO or managing director at a company with a turnover between $50 million and $500 million, the typical income is $600,000 but can reach up to $700,000.

Similarly, for chief operating officers and executive general managers, incomes are typically around $500,000 but can also hit $600,000. Chief financial officers and finance directors in the same organisations typically earn around $450,000 but can also reach $600,000.

Hays notes that CEOs need to be top performers across a range of areas, including organisational strategy, organisational alignment, external stakeholder relations and board engagement.

Retail: General Manager (up to $510,000) Salaries in retail run the gamut, ranging from $153,000 to $408,000 for head office retail directors to $408,000 for merchandise managers and between $204,000 and $510,000 for general managers.

While there are many roles in tech that command average salaries between $150,000 to $200,000, managers earn considerably more than this. The typical salary earners in leadership positions are based in Sydney and include chief information security officers ($255,000), chief information officers and chief technology officers (both on $306,000).

Meanwhile, project directors earn $260,000, program managers are on $210,000 and enterprise architects command $230,000 in projects and change management.

Average Australian Salaries in 2023 The median full-time worker in Australia earned $78,800 in 2022, while the median part-timer took home $32,400 last year, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). When both types of employees are combined, the median salary is $65,000. That is to say, half of all employees in Australia earned more than this, and half earned less.

A taxable income that was $131,501 or higher was within the top 10% of earners in Australia last year. About 5% of taxpayers had incomes above $180,000. Someone who earned more than $253,066 was in the top 1%.

When discussing the ‘typical’ wage, averages are less representative than medians, because there are a handful of very high earners who skew the results by earning millions or even billions of dollars.

A middle-income household typically comprises a couple with children living off one full time job of around $85,000 and a part-time job of around $30,000 per year. This middle 20% has a combined weekly income of $1,884 ($97,986 annually), according to a report by the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS).

Are you looking for a higher paying job? If so, you aren’t alone. Many people are facing day-to-day financial stress as living expenses remain at record highs. It is therefore unsurprising that one in three employees is considering quitting their jobs, according to a PwC report. Pay and wellbeing were ranked as the top two most important factors in a job, according to the report.
