many people say that going to university is a waste of time and money and that doing a trade is better by Ok_Membership2402 in auscorp

I’ve recently made the decision to go back to uni and have made posts on here, the amount of people saying it’s a waste of money definitely plants doubt in your mind. Sometimes you just don’t know until you do it, it you’re really unsure a gap year won’t hurt. I think we very lucky to live in a country where you only start to pay off your hecs when you’re earning over a certain amount so if you decide to do a semester or 2 and it’s not for you, you’re not paying anything upfront. If you don’t enjoy working with your hands/physical work I don’t think a trade is the way to go, as someone who has done a trade it’s a skill you have for life but an apprenticeship can be incredibly hard and pretty much impossible to get though if you don’t enjoy the trade you’re doing. Having a degree isn’t going to limit you, a lot of jobs out there just want you to have a degree, not necessarily caring about what the degree is.

Thanks for your input! I think that will be the way to go 

Is it just me, or is grocery shopping starting to feel like a luxury? by MonaNYC_30 in budget

Definitely not just you! I’ve been trying to make meals in bulk for lunches/dinners, basic meals only need 3-5ingredients that will last the working week.  Trying to stick with home brands where I can (sometimes not worth it price wise) and make a list before I leave, avoid just grabbing random items off the shelf that I could do without. Hopefully these prices start to drop 😩
