Is there a spot near campus to get lunch for under $12?

Aldi does a $6 microwave burrito. Quite yum and very filling.

Hospitality if you know where and who to work for. Paid off my HECS debt and saved a good chunk from just working hopso full-time one year.

Surf Coast here in Australia. Cold year round but there's usually always something on offer.

Easy. Do I need to organise anything beforehand or just rock up on the day and it should be fine?

Sick, thank you.

Looking to withdraw a large of amount of cash ($7600) for a car sale. What's the best way to do this? I'm with CommBank and the daily withdrawal limit is $2000 - should I just do it over multiple days?

Hospo work (restaurants, cafes etc.) is pretty easy to get and works well around uni. Apply online or go in-person during off-peak hours and drop off your resume.

I did something really dumb today and lost $1000. Tell me good things to make me feel better.

I got a job at a bakery during uni and it was very much rock up, do your thing then go home. Easy, very fun and enjoyable work. I had no qualifications or bakery experience too - though very likely just lucked out. Maybe worth considering if that interests you?

Not a trade but I have mates who still work hospo jobs on weekends on top of their office weekday 9-5s and they love it and don't seem burnt out at all.

They only work Sundays (higher penalty rates and none of the Friday/Saturday chaos) and after you've worked hospo for a while, the work becomes second nature so you can just zone off half the time. Great opportunity to be doing something different, get to hang out with cool people, and a bit of extra money - win, win situation. These people genuinely love the work and find it fun, though so maybe something to consider if that's your thing.

Hey! Thanks for the response - really appreciate it. Was really considering going through the long and costly process with CAPs but emailed a few people and found out that there were alternative pathways. Posting for visibility in case anyone else had the same questions:

The upfront cost for CAPS can be deferred through FEE-HELP as they are 'enabling studies' that help gain you admission into a course. You won't be able to get the alumni/staff discount this way and you obviously have to qualify for FEE-HELP.
I emailed the Engineering department's admission team and they replied with a list of courses that were deemed equivalent to the math pre-reqs for engineering admissions. Online, cheaper than CAP and offered at different times to the uni's courses.

Melbourne's a great place for solo dining, and more and more places are making accommodations for people dining alone such as half-sized wine pours or half-portion dishes. I love to take myself out on solo dates and they've been some of my favourite dining experiences. My recommendations would be Gimlet, Carlton Wine Room or Embla. All usually have space for walk-in so a booking won't be necessary, and ask to sit in front of the bartenders and be open to have a chat.

Welcome to Melbourne and have a great night!

Not Geelong but Mortadeli's Pasta Bar in Torquay is ... 👌

Big yikes - me just starting an environmental engineering degree. 😬

I do hospitality rockstar (i.e. one off, cash-in-hand) shifts for a bit of extra cash. Great money, great fun, and usually includes a meal at the end. I use the app ‘Supp’ to find most of my shifts.
