A young Aussie traffic controller has hit back at trolls who made fun of her job by revealing she can make up to $750 a day working on the roads.
Road worker Chloe Brianna took to TikTok to clap back at trolls who said she was "standing around doing nothing"and told her to "get a real job".
The young woman responded to the cruel comments by revealing just how much she makes each week as a road worker.
In a now-viral video, Chloe, who works in Victoria, claims she earned an eye-watering $3073.75 in a week as a FIFO worker – which totalled $2280.75 after tax.
"What I make in a wheel, nightshift and living away as a traffic controller" she wrote.
Chloe's video rapidly went viral and now sits at over 1 million views.
In a few other follow up videos, she showed that her weekly rate can differ depending on where she works and her hours.

While she might make over $3000 one week, another week she took home $2379.
If Chloe makes an average of $2500 a week, this would still see her bring in $130,000 a year.
She also cleared up that when working away from home, her accommodation if paid for – but she still needs to buy her own groceries, like she would at home.
