Posted January 3, 2016 G'day all! As a quick aside, I'm glad to see the amazing new forums + website we have! I'm an Aussie, if you didn't pick that up, and I love modern history and map reading (which naturally go hand in hand). I can't wait to meet a lot of you soon as we anticipate for the release of Identity! I'm a penniless uni student who is buying a mega gaming system because I know where my priorities are at If you have any questions shoot away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 3, 2016 Sup man. Hope you do your research for that gaming setup xD. Modern History is an interesting thing, I have no idea what it's about. I'm a uni student as well, but I'm taking trades. I took history in highschool though. It was aite. Map reading is fun as shit though. I'm gonna try to befriend you in identity so when I go RP hiking I don't get lost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's become a necessary cost to get a good job these days Unfortunately in the UK, where I hail from, it's becoming so goddamn hard for anyone with even one of the best degrees around to find a job in their chosen sector, just because employers are so iffy about hiring people with little experience. I guess you've got it better over there, though? Edited January 3, 2016 by DrFelixPhD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you've got it better over there, though? Yes, the government over here actually pay a large portion of your degree if they approve it, so it's actually not so bad getting a degree. You also don't have to pay back the course fee until you earn over $54k or thereabouts, which is really good Not sure how your degrees go over there though, you probably have a system the same. Jobs are still hard to get, but ultimately it depends on where you live. The mining sector has a lot of well paid jobs during the boom years, but most people don't want a job in the middle of Australia, wonder why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do offer some minor subsidies for things like furniture or student accommodation, however it really isn't much :L Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with it is it's either you get $400 a fortnight from the government if you live away from home and are single and studying or you get $0 for the same situation. So I have to work to earn money and others don't have to, they get rental assistance, special scholarships, you name it. But they're the rules, I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
