    Industry super are one of the biggest, ESP for union type jobs
    AMP are a market leader (note I work for them, not trying to pimp)

    Look for one with low fees, if you know anything about shares you can self-managed also

    Sorry to go off topic but since you mentioned it, is it possible to self manage the likes of Cbus?

    You can mange your investment options etc, but not your actual super fund.
    Self managed super is offered by rabo etc,
    I'm not actually sure how to set it up

    I'm with ANZ Superadvantage. Just went with what the company I work for offered for now. Probably should have looked into it a bit better myself.

    I'm a Surveyor aswell, working for a seismic surveying company at the moment. I thought you were being offered a job as a mine surveyor out here a few months ago? I remember you making a thread about being offered a job and wanting to know life on camp was that for the white collar job?

    How old are you? Plenty of work in surveying out here, would hate to see a fellow surveyor not surveying their brains out!

    DIT Bolton St. I assume?

    Yeah I turned down the mine surveying job for a Perth based job. Its still directly related to the mining & surveying industry though.

    I graduated from Bolton St in 2007, and at this stage I've done enough field surveying to keep me happy for life.

    Plenty of mundane jobs in surveying.. Except I've found mine surveying to be interesting enough to be fair.
