Hello everyone, I have been coming here quietly to read comments and encourage myself. I really appreciate the efforts people put in to encourage one another. I Applied for Student's visa since July and it finally arrived yesterday. I am heading to Sydney soon. The wait is not easy, just ask God for grace. Those in Sydney pls give me heads up or PM me. Thanks.

Congratulations

davodyguy:
God bless you.
Back in Nigeria, I don't eat what you call crab(Akan in Yoruba) and Cray fish/prawn(Ede in yoruba)
They have to do with my health and nothing more.
I don't even drink alcohol or can stand near smokers.
Hence, I focus on what my system can take.

If you're selecting food because of your dietary requirements, that's understandable. Always safety first. Not all western food are raw, and you can always avoid foods that you are allergic. Anyways, it's more economical to cook your own food

WestAfrican:
davodyguy Try to stick with the food your system is used to. Reasons are you will save your self health and money. Western food should be eaten as a treat. There are heaps of Asian cum African shops in Sydney and Newie.
All you need is a large deep freezer, microwave (gas/electric stove) and few food containers.
Cook your food in a large pot, plate your meal portion into those containers and store them in the freezer. Then use when necessary.
You really don't need those tips if your are sponsored or earn above $2k weekly after tax.
I assure you you do need them if you are paying your tuition fees and may be looking after family back home.

What has this got to do with food and what the poster was asking? $2,000 weekly after tax amounts to about $140,000 per annum. Whether sponsored, citizen or whatever, how many people in Australia make this sort of money comfortably without breaking their backs and working like slaves with no breaks, and which industries precisely?

Always trying so hard to show off much? You better not make someone back home commit suicide based on stories.

Someone God would bless honoured me last night with some Nigerian delicacies. I'm not sure I can finish all between now and Sunday. Fortunately, she didn't collect a kobo. I have to find a way to pay her back

I think he's making and inference/Scenario, not a factual position

My friend work with Sydney Trains as an Engineer and makes $3200 before tax. And other IT guys make $80 an hour.

So just a few people then? You made it sound like it's the norm. I made $2000-$2500 weekly after tax during uni break as a Youth Worker. But I have reduced my hours cos it wasn't worth it; I was paying way too much taxes and my body hurt so bad that it took 1 week of nightly massages to recover! Youth work is easy with excellent Sydney rates, wouldn't have tried that with hard jobs such as factory, disabilty, warehouse, construction etc cos it's suicide mission.

Ofd course you need a degree and some level of experience to earn $2000 / week without stress.
Again when i mentioned about earning $2000 as a student I was only stressing the need of living a simple life in order to save more for more important things.

When I asked how many people in Australia make that much $$$, I was expecting figures and stats but you came back with a story about two people "you know". I'm sorry if my post seems like keyboard war to you, that wasn't my intention at all. But next time you don't have facts to back up your claims, just buzz off. Or better still, quit showing off . People who are really well off don't show off ffs.

The first link is the list of highest paying jobs in Australia which consist mostly of surgeons, medical doctors, company directors, senior civil servants and politicians.

The second link is just fake salary quotes from Agencies who are looking for casual staff, not fulltime registered nurse jobs. I'm a student nurse, my tutors and some of colleagues are registered nurses, and nobody makes close to $200,000 per annum on a fulltime job without stress and working deadly hours. You would have to be a nursing manager with heaps of experience and lot's of stress to make over $150,000 in Sydney which has the highest salaries in the country! Please stop misleading people with fake stories and links

Lizeeplus, a big congrats to you, are you staring your programme by February 2018?

Lolz please calm down you are just being an ignoramus. I am not a student i was years ago and I know whats its like being one.
I gave someone an advice on how to live a simple life and comcluded by saying unless they are sponsored or earn above $2k after tax the advice won't be relevant for them. What is wrong with that? You accused me of giving false information and showing off (surprised).

I told you of two people I personally know who earn above $2k a week after tax. Is that example not sufficient?

You can work for companies or oragnizations here as a casual worker and still be paid more than a permanent staff. Same applies to those who work for agencies too.

If you know an organization that pays 150k/yr find out from a casual work from that same company if they don't get $40-$70k as extra loading.

Refer to your previous post and you will realize you are the ome showing off.

So in your logic, only people who make $2k weekly after tax can afford to buy food ingredients from Asian/African shops and cook their own meals? Yeah I know that casual rates are higher cos I'm a casual staff, but you'll still work your ass off to make $2k weekly after tax. Anyways, I'm done talking about salaries blah blah blah, don't have nothing to gain or lose.

Please nobody should quote me further on this topic.

Hubby cooked my favourite dinner last night and it was so yummy: steak, mushrooms and fries.

I'm off now to cook him a nice dinner in appreciation.

@WestAfrican. You don't need to argue with her @Jewelstone. She doesn't seem to know much, she is new in Australia and thinks she knows it all with her little Youth work/disability/student nurse experience. She needs to learn more and move all around Australia. Workers in Western Australia & ACT earn way better than those in NSW.

As a doctorate student, I get about $28k per annum as living stipends and I also work as a casual academic at the rate of $120 per hour. Most times I work as little as 25hrs per week and still make $2,067 (after tax) weekly.

I have other friends with jobs such as: physiotherapist, occupational therapist (not management level) that make about $5,000 forthrightly after tax. Other friends that are surveyors, technicians etc (with just diploma certificates) get more than the aforementioned rates.

@JewelStone, please do not mislead people on here. You are not well informed. I think you should restrict your responses to study visa issues!

Make me understand you please. This working your ass off, what does it really mean? Working from 8 to 5pm or more. Like doing multiple jobs right?

WestAfrican:



1) He may be given a 1.6yrs visa. That will allow him to prolly attend his convocation cum apply for a graduate visa that will allow him continue to work legally whilst gathering his documents for PR application.

3) Yes he is as explained in question one. He may need to write an english exam before he can apply.

For a 1 year course, I dont think there would be up to 6 additional months. My course was for 1.5 years. It finished June/July and the visa expired August ending, not even enough to attend convocation that held in September.

Also, I thought the post study/graduate visa was for those who met the Australian study requirement of 2 years study. Things may have changed though.

Multiple jobs with 60+ hours per week, not 8 to 5pm

Crazy!!! To make legit money sef no just easy.
God help us.

I saw this before but didnt respond. Since the issue came up again...

AUD 41,000 is less than the entry level salary for Social Workers in Sydney. It's a great career path and you can make heaps of money if you're smart... some of my colleagues easily make AUD 100,000 per year (not managerial level) with no stress. Yeah I know, the salaries in Sydney are awesome...one of the reasons it's the best city to be right now!!!

This is the way I understand it. I might be wrong.

100,000 per year / 52 weeks = 1923 per week.

Lets assume 'no stress' is doing 60 hours per week. 1923/60 = At least 32 per hour.

If we assume its a normal work week of 38 hours then it goes up to 50 per hour.

Yes, I know there is Saturday, Sunday and public holiday loading but even with that? Please, people who know should show us the way o. Na beg I dey. Lol

Yeah I wrote that and when I said no stress, I meant the job isn't stressful, not the hours. Of course they work long hours to make that much. $100,000 per annum is averagely $1923 before tax, and $1410 after tax. $2000 after tax seems to be the contender here. I'm not saying people don't earn that much, all I'm saying is that few professions earn that without stress, most Australians will have to work very long hours to earn that amount of $$$.

60 hours per week is 22 hours overtime, and it's stressful if one has a family and a social life.
