last year i worked (on average) 8 hours a week with ~50hours of uni work scheduled (note that scheduled does not imply completed
.) i also had very flexible working conditions and stuff like that so it was pretty cool. Most but not all sales sorts of jobs will want you to work thurday night (late night shopping) and saturday and/or sunday. also, if you're living in the uni colleges and will be going home over semester breaks you'll probably lose your job
tutoring is a good idea, theres lots of little newspapers with $30 classifieds, the north shore times (aka the north shore whines) is one, there are a few tutors advertising there.
as an aside, i spent about a year working full time and going to uni parttime. i did one subject a semester and still only got a P in it. Unless you're a genius and can do heaps of subjects or can handle having to wait 10 years to finish your degree, id say put up with being poor for a few years and get your degree done. that said, i have a friend who works full time and goes to uni more or less full time. his marks suck but unless you want to be an academic marks dont matter, passing does. and even if you want to be an academic there are still many options open to you if you dont have straight HD's.
sydney is an expensive city :{
oh, theres also the careers development office (
http://www.careers.mq.edu.au/) which may be of use but strikes me as largely being run by idiots. they do have a list of jobs but for example i have registered myself under the "Science and Technology" category, and here are some jobs available that were mailed to me last friday:
Book Publishing industry 12 month internship
Graduate Human Resources Advisor - Full time
Mother's Helper - Part time Casual
Volunteer for Brekfest Film and Music Festival
