Working in Australia

[lost1]

anybody here lives in australia??
can someone please give me some rough idea about living, studying and working in australia....
like:
-how much is the average pays for college student working partime,
-do the employers in australia will even hire a foreign college student that just finished high school?,
-how much is the average living cost for a college student living alone?,
-is it difficult to find a job there?,
-is it possible for someone that just finished high school to move there, get into a college and then, "survive"???

thx before....

patience my friend.

average pays, depend on what skills you have and where you want to work.

you will need a working visa to get work here

average living costs depends where you want to live, how you choose to travel around.

same as everywhere else we have a recession happening or about to happen, work may be difficult to find

Being an International student here can be extremely tough financially. What are you planning to do? What will you study at university?

It can cost up to 14k at Melbourne university (where I study) a year just for uni course fees. And then you have living expenses, textbooks etc. If you go to TAFE it can be considerably cheaper.

i plan to take some art related course, because i personally like graphics and design field. and i actually plan to take some student loan, but i can't find any that are suitable for me, so i think i would work part time and maybe make some money from online business... do you think that is possible?

wow!!! that's a lot of money!!! what course that you study?
do you mean TAFE, Technical and Further Education? how much that will cost?

what do you do for living?? you are still studying, aren't you? do you work part time?
it's amazing that a college student can afford such money....

I don't think you can take out student loans if you're an international student. Since I am local, I have the opportunity to take up a student loan where I don't have to pay anything until I start working. My fees are around 7k per year. And this year is my fourth year.

TAFE is considerably cheaper - for local students it's like $1000 a year or something cheap like that.

I live at home and I tutor maths part time for high school students. My website is Welcome to the Frontpage
