Joaquín, an Argentine garbage man in Australia: For an eight-hour day I get paid 128 euros

The article discusses Joaquín, an Argentine young man working in Australia as a waste container handler, who shared his experience through a TikTok video. His job involves moving garbage containers in residential buildings on Wednesdays, but he clarifies that he does not directly collect trash. He receives a vehicle and a list of addresses to visit, and his tasks vary depending on the location, sometimes requiring physical effort. Despite the physical demands, he describes the work as manageable, noting that much of his time is spent driving with air conditioning and listening to music. He earns 211 dollars per week after taxes and emphasizes that the purpose of his video is to highlight simple job opportunities in Australia that allow people to save money, rather than romanticizing life there. He also mentions that this specific job does not require speaking English.
