Bet you didn't expect that. heheh

and i really don't have 20k up my unmentionables.

Really? Is that like a special branch of islam or something? (excuse my ignorance) cos i'm currently in dubai (which is in an islamic country), and there are alot of very rich people here, most of whom keep their money in banks, and earn interest on it (according to my dad, who works here and knows many of these people).

And depending on how strictly a person follows my religion (aka depending on IF you follow my religion) we are not allowed to take loans off banks

OR recieve interest by keeping money in a bank.

Its not a special branch of islam, as far as i know, all scholars agree that interest is not allowed.

Yes, the rich who take interest from banks are not following religion. Or maybe in Dubai the Arab scholars have given a different fatwa (islamic jurispudence ruling). I doubt it though.

Interest, in Islam, IS NOT ALLOWED. Simple.

is HECS subject to interest or just inflation? Someone told me that it's tied to the CPI........

not sure what the deal is?

 

[Grey Council]

no idea. But its allowed, cause we can'd do without HECS.

u could always go full-fee and avoid it?

of course it'd hurt the wallet a bit

yup, was reading about it yesterday. No interest is involved, according to my careers adviser. ^_^

 

[Grey Council]

darn, are you sure? Cause health insurance is out, superannuation is out, interest rate involved is out, pretty much any jobs in the financial sector are out.

Are there jobs outside the financial sector for actuaries?

ta for the article.

[Grizzly]

Are you talking about this info?
http://stats.bls.gov/oco/ocos041.htm

Not sure how much the Stats apply to Australia, but from any opinion, it shows that it's not in high demand in USA.
