    Ideally how many hours a week should a Uni student work?

    I'm doing a course with 22 contact hours, so I only work 7-14 hours a week. I choose to however, I'm sure I could do more but I dislike being taxed 50% (making me earn $6 per hour :( ] due to centrelink if i work any more. It pays rent and bills so I'm happy =)

    Living Away From Home Assistance Queries

    Hi There, For dependence, you'll probably won't qualify for that, unless you've worked and earned 18.5k in the last 18 months. Even if you move out, you're still dependent. Therefore, your parental income will come into play. Your parents must earn less than approximately 55k for you to get...

    The KFC thread

    Oo this thread looks like fun now. Don't worry about quitting KFC, quit if you have to. I told the managers the same thing, and I'm kinda in a similar position (feeling bad if i leave), but really, they can't force you to stay. A word of advice though, try and go for PT if you can. I work at a...

    The KFC thread

    Ooo interesting. I'd go for maccas if they're offering better hours (they offer better pay over KFC). Up to you! Tell me how it pans out =) (Btw PT pay is less than casual just incase you didnt know, so you'd get paid less at maccas doing PT than casual at KFC).

    Pizza Hut Training Shift?

    I don't work for Pizzahut, but I do work for KFC, it's owned for the same company. Basically what we did was spend 6-7 hours filling in orinetation booklets and watching this video about Yum! brands (KFC, Pizzahut, tacobell) etc. etc.. It's really boring, but we did get free food.. So be...

    Homophobics

    Sure, you can disagree. But WHY? The argument that it's "unnatural" isn't valid, because homosexuality is infact a natural occurance (many animal species give birth to homosexuals). So is it just because they freak you out? Still. I don't see why. Please give me a good reason as to why...

    Homophobics

    I don't think so, to me anyone who chooses to like their own sex when they're sexually attracted to the opposite is beyond me.. but let's just say that they did choose. What's your point? Why can't they still have equality if most of them can't help it? And what's also stupid is that you spent...

    Homophobics

    Sorry, but the people who are homopobic are so stupid. Predominantly because you assume homosexuals choose to be gay. You're wrong. Do you really think someone would actually CHOOSE to become an outcast and live a life that is frowned upon by a lot of the community? No. It's because they just...
