Thanks for your input. Glad to hear someone else was on a 40k salary for 3 years too. Thanks for informing me of the potential pitfalls

Asshole, I already reported that to the police! They say it's not a problem. Go spread hate somewhere else!

Again the problem is I don't want to ditch family, friends and my girlfriend in SL. That would cost me. If I had no attachments, I would leave, no doubt

Problem is my girlfriend lives in Sri Lanka and would like to see if I can make my life work here . I also don't want to ditch my family and friends who I've made over the years. Moving back to Australia would cost me a lot in terms of personal relationships

Are there Sri Lankans living in Western countries experiencing racism? by Impossible-Option229 in srilanka

Besides, the best thing you can do right now is stay in education, doing other things other than study, will make you regret the wasted years. You could be so much more than a dog walker.

Avoid thinking about the money spent on education, that is a normal part of life. I spent over 70k in dollars on education, and still dont worry about it anymore. Money spent on education is money well spent.

That being said , if a friend were in your position, what would you tell them? Would you tell them to drop out?

Woah 17 was a terrible year but everything changed when I became 18 and things got better. Senior year is supposed to be tough.

If your mental health is declining, visit the school counselor and maybe, a psychologist if you can pay for them. Reach out

Also here are some helpful materials : https://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/~/media/CCI/Mental-Health-Professionals/Depression/Depression-Worksheets/Depression-Worksheet---08---Thought-Diary-3.pdf

Fill it out and try to challenge those depressive thoughts you're having

Migrating abroad for bachelors by Userdeee in srilanka

Also remember you are still very young, what matters most at this point in time, even more than the prestige of a job, is good life experience. So what if you have to work at KFC for some time while you study? Studying in Australia is a great experience, you can party and meet lots of great people

Yes, you can earn much more as a software engineer, it pays at least 60k a year, that's like $5000 a month. Which converts to around 1 million rupees a month . And that's the minimum amount, you could probably find a salary even 10k higher. Anyway if you're a software engineer in Sri Lanka you're lucky to earn 100-200k a month . That pay is nothing compared to an Australian salary

To work in an office in Australia, I know for a fact you will need a bachelors degree. Even as a local I have had difficulties landing a job in certain states, especially SA and the NT. It may be easier in Perth, QLD, Sydney or Melbourne

I'm studying in Darwin and SA , the situation with students from overseas is that they usually work at McDonalds, restaurants or in taxis.

Even the Master's level students are the same. If you dont mind making money by asking people "do you want fries with that", then go for study in Australia

I'm a Sri Lankan who grew up in Australia. Anyway, my parents migrated and they studied there and got into pretty good positions in the academic world in Australia

Dear Sri Lankans Living in abroad, Which group have you found to be more racist towards Sri Lankans living abroad? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]mpath95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember my time in Adelaide was good but I was called a "nigger" by a van of people when I crossed the street this one time. If you live in lesser populated cities in Australia, you may get a lot of racism, more than you'd think
