I go to uni 3 days a week. I usually work 1 or 2 days a week, depending on the amount of work to do. I make anywhere between $150 and $300 per week and I live at home.

I would probably get another job except I have to do industry placement soon and that is going to take up 2 days of the week.

i'll answer with what i was doing during uni:

- How many days a week are you at uni?: 1st/2nd year - 2.5 days, 3rd year - 1 day per fortnight + 2/3 days clinical placement (so 3 days a week of uni stuff).
There were also block placements of 2 to 4 weeks.

- How many days/hours a week do you work?: I did 2/3 x 8 hour shifts per week, fulltime hours during uni breaks

- Where do you work?: at a hospital

- How much do you roughly make a week & do you live out of home?: about $300-400 per week. enough to mean i never received youth allowance. lived out of home for first 2 years (rent ~$110pw + food, bills, etc), 3rd year i lived at home (paid $100pw board).


but i barely passed a few of my subjects because i spent practically all free time at work and never studied.
