P.S. It's spelt Indulge.

I am Second Year, Bachelor of Economic and Social Sciences and I'm doing 12 hours a week.

I work part time as an administration assistant for 12 hours a week.

I work as a Moderator (yes, I do consider this a kind of unpaid job) and I spend approximatley an hour here every day.



Whats this information for?

Wow i really suck at english.

btw. I work two jobs with alternating hours (casual) about 14-20hrs?

SES - weekends.
local newsagency - wednesdays and fridays.

And the thread is here, so I can gauge <--(probably spelt this wrong too) how USyders cope with Uni/Jobs/social life etc.

B Music (Composition) 2nd Year

15 contact hours a week exactly

Work at a cafe (4 - 15 hours a week)
& tutor english (4 hours a week)

loves it cuz they are both flexible, if not eager to work around my schedule.
I use to work 20 hours a week (2 and a half days) at a reception job, but it got far too much.

No, thats spelt correctly. :)

Well, to add to my above mentioned, I also have to travel about 6 hours a week for uni, and a further hour or so for my job...

Study probably equates to maybe 6 hours a week?

Is this thread to determine what a healthy workload is, or what balances are possible?

Isn't so accurate unless you talk about the time for study, socialising and travel. Someone living in Penrith travelling to UNSW will have less time available for them to study/work etc than most.

But other than that, its an interesting topic/read anyway :)

How do you guys support yourselves if you don't work? I mean kudos to you if your parents hand over a wad of cash every week. Consider yourselves very lucky! lol

B Education (Sec. - English) / B Arts (psychology)
14 hours per week

I have two jobs:
Tutoring - 4.5 hours per week
Retail - usually 10-12 hours every weekend.

Public Transport - 14-18h depending on PT efficiency.

Edit: I find it appalling that I can spend as much time getting to and from uni as I actually spend there learning. Sydney is shit. HTH.
