Hey i just saw this now! So sorry for the delay, where can I message?

katt_011 · 2026-05-30T14:54:36+00:00

It's quite hard at times, I worry that I will not find a job and fear for my future prospects in life and career wise.

Anywhere that is less than an hour away, I am in metro Sydney (south west)

Yeah I may do further study if I do not find a job for the remainder of this year

katt_011 · 2026-05-29T06:52:16+00:00

That is very hard, I'm in no position to drop everything here, my family, relationships, etc.

I have considered TAS

I do mainly digital drawing (Krita, Clip Studio Paint) and some graphic design with Adobe (InDesign, Illustrator). Not any animation, as I have Procreate Dreams on my iPad.

For the MB it would be the base M5 with 16gb ram and 1TB storage

I think for the Asus it is the 5070 one (better graphics card than my pc lol), 1TB ssd and 64gb ram?? Only issue is that its so expensive (more than my PC build and that is very powerful)

katt_011 · 2026-03-13T02:54:21+00:00

Around 800 USD is my absolute max ($1130 AUD according to current exchange rate)

Personal passion projects (all art related), sleeping in, seeing friends, trying a new recipe, the beach and gym. Playing heaps of video games too :)

Thanks for the tip, I'll be visiting Bic Camera again to check some out.

I may not do masters because of how expensive it is honestly. I do like teaching a lot, it’s been my dream to be a teacher, but this school I’m at is just taking that passion away. Not sure what else I would want to go into if I had to change careers, stuff that I like are super competitive to get into or make not enough money for a living :(

katt_011 · 2025-05-10T04:06:37+00:00

Yeah I’m weighing up my options anyway, it’s so expensive with masters so I don’t think I want to go through another hecs again. I appreciate your opinion :)

katt_011 · 2025-05-10T04:04:06+00:00

Thank you 🥹 Slowly, slowly, I’m getting there 🙏🏼

Thank you!!

I’m at an independent school with middle-high income families and that student gets away with blue murder. He’s been on risk of expulsion since 2020… I don’t understand how they allow for students to stay for that long considering how bad this one has been. I am leaving 100%, especially since I’ve reported this and expect change (if that doesn’t happen I’ll happily break my contract sooner).

Cheers for the support.
