"I'm a glam female miner - I ride around in a 45ft truck with my nails done"
A glam female miner rakes in £54.7k-a-year for eight months of work - and still makes sure her nails are done while riding around in her 45ft truck. Cindy Koopman, 32, who lives in Perth, Australia, loves working in her FIFO (fly in, fly out) role as a dump truck driver. She loves her glam and nails but isn't afraid to get stuck in working up to 12-hour shifts riding a 45ft sized truck. Cindy earns £54.7k-a-year ($110K AUD) but works one to two weeks at a time - in return for a week off.
