Jordan Dowsett reveals his eye-watering salary working as an FIFO electrician trends now

A FIFO worker who claims to earn in a single day what most people make in a week says his eye-watering salary is worth missing out on weekends.

Jordan Dowsett, a former Love Island contestant, recently shared his daily routine working as an electrician at a mine in central Queensland.

He rises at 4 am to work a 12-hour shift while still finding time to go to the gym and enjoy an impressive banquet of food three times a day.

The tradie admitted that his salary made up for it despite having crippling FOMO (fear of missing out) while his friends were out enjoying their weekends.

'When you've got the worst FOMO from everyone enjoying their weekend... but you remember you make their whole weeks pay in one day,' he said.

The average salary for a FIFO electrician is $126,750 or $65 per hour, with entry level positions starting at $107,965 per year, according to data from Talent.

The most experienced workers can earn up to $152,100 a year. 

Viewers questioned whether his salary was worth the early wakeups and long hours. 

'Not worth it bro. It kills you slowly,' one viewer commented.

'The money is great but money can't replace time and memories,' another wrote. 

A third shared: 'Fomo is literally why I won't join mines.'

It comes after Mr Doswett shared a TikTok detailing his daily routine on the site, including 4:30am wakeups, gym sessions and group stretching sessions. 

Fans were wowed by the smorgasbord the workers are treated to, which included hot breakfasts, ice cream, curries, pasta, fries, fruit, sandwiches and cakes.

'Look at the options I get - fruit, yoghurt, cereal, bread, muffins, you name it, hot food, porridge, it's all there,' the electrician says.
