What is the average university students pay from a casual job in Melbourne?

Question

Just a rough estimate would do.

Could you also tell me about how you earned money and how many hours university students generally work?

Thanks!

Answer 1

well most melbourne people beg for money or scab from centre link because they are bogans

Answer 2

It will depend on your course as they vary dramatically in how many contact hours you have. In some courses you can manage to work 20+ hours, in others it may only be half that. Minimum adult casual rate is about $16.50, less if you're under 21

Answer 3

A casual unskilled job should pay around $18 an hour.  However if you are under 21 this will be a bit less as you will be on junior wages.  The hours that university students work vary dramatically depending on type of job and financial situation, but most people work 2-3 days a week, probably 15-20 hours.

Answer 4

The universities tend to recommend that you do no more than 10 or so hours a week.

I'll tell you now, that's a load of c**p.  Not nearly enough to support you.

I was working shift-work, anywhere from about 15 (bad week) to about 35 hours a week, on excellent pay of about $20 an hour.  That's a lot.  Most jobs will pay at least a few dollars less, sometimes around $14 or so.  Cash in hand jobs usually pay around that, but won't give you the hours you need.
