I work 30 hours at coles studying full time. My shift days are flexible I work the morning shift from 6 am till 2.30 pm so I have the whole afternoon to study and work on assessments
Good on you mate. Not everyone is keen to work from early morning, but hard work is rewarded in life imo. You’ll succeed in life based on your strong work ethic. Respect.
Hi Rob! Thanks so much for your video! I just had a question and thought maybe you could help me out. Im a 2nd year biomed student at UWA, and im planning to study optometry for post grad. I dont work at the moment, However, I am planning to start working ( part time/casual) as an optical assistant next year as it will be my final year in my bachelors degree. I was told to not exceed the working hours of 15 h per week. What do you think in this case, is it worth it or not to work and get experince in the field? Cheers mate! Thanks once again!
Hi Marie, Good question. From my read, it looks like you're mostly going to be starting to work for the experience that it gives you, rather than exclusively for money to live off. (though, of course, the money is a nice outcome too). Biomed is a pretty busy course with a lot of content, plus you're hoping to go on to postgrad, so will require admission to the postgrad. That said, having some experience on a resume is definitely valuable in terms of 1. making sure you like the job, 2. getting experience on your resume that will help get a job, 3. making some professional contacts that may come in useful later. With those things in mind, I think the advice to work 12-15 hours per week is probably good. That way it doesn't impact your studies too much, but it still starts to give you those advantages listed above. This presumes that work is available for that amount of time per week. I'm not sure how it works in that industry and if businesses want you to work more than that amount. To me it looks like you're making good decisions about how to progress your studies towards your chosen career, so good on you. 👍
@@ChoosingYourUni Ahhhh appreciate it a lot, my friend! That makes a lot of sense and definitely will put this into consideration! Thank you so so so much!
