Hi guys, I'm not sure whether to continue studying at TAFE or find a traineeship for a lesser qualification at the same time.
I've been looking on jobsearch websites and I have found a couple of traineeships available, and will be sending in my application/CV in sometime soon. I'm just not sure whether to study an Advanced Diploma at TAFE for 2 years (+ Youth Allowance benefits) or work full time getting a Cert III/IV in Engineering (Technical) and getting about $28k p.a (- Youth Allowance) for the same time period. It's a 3 hour return train ride to my TAFE institution, so a part time job is out of the question, maybe.
The course I'm enrolled in is Structural Engineering - Advanced Diploma - 6443. Also considering taking up a second course through OTEN.
