Classes change every simester, and sometimes every term. Try fitting a regular job around that. Unless you decide to work weekends.

For me, I live at home still, only for food and accomodation. I'm still broke (no job). It's not easy, but I get by. You'll love the CPSA (CPIT student association). They put on free BBQ's every so often. For me, that means I get lunch that day.

Bah, I'm just rambling now.

755529 2009-03-13 11:15:00 You can't go wrong with two days work ($175 after tax at min wage) and a student loan / allowance ($160 in the bank account from 1 April).

That's plenty to live on and if you play your cards right you'll have a couple of grand left afterwards to do what you like with, possibly including paying off that nice big loan.

There's plenty of room in $335 a week to live, eat and booze and even own a car.

Maybe you'll even get a student allowance if you're lucky.
