In recent years, the Australian study abroad market has suddenly exploded, and many students have been attracted to it. Some netizens said that after studying in Australia for 5 years, they can enjoy the retirement life in advance, which has aroused the attention of the majority of international students. However, life is full of unknowns, and whether studying in Australia can really be exchanged for a better life in advance needs to be further **.
A boy in Hunan returned to China after working as a construction worker in Australia for 5 years, and at the age of 23, he has accumulated a fortune of more than 2 million. This has caused many people to wonder, is there really money in the sky in Australia?Some people explained that the minimum hourly wage in Australia is 23 Australian dollars, which is equivalent to more than 100 yuan, and the average working hour can earn one or two thousand yuan. This kind of salary makes people praise loudly, and people can't help but fantasize that if you work in Australia for a few years, you can live a comfortable retirement life directly after returning to China, wouldn't it be too beautiful?
However, we can't get carried away by these superficial **. Some international students living in Australia said that most of the money they could earn in Australia was spent in Australia, and it was impossible to bring them back to their home countries. They generally agree on the saying: "Australia earns money and Australia spends". Such a statement has also raised questions about the reality and feasibility of studying in Australia.
Popular cities for studying in Australia include Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. First of all, let's look at Melbourne, the average rent for a week is about 2,000 yuan, and it needs about 8,000 yuan a month. In terms of diet, if you cook by yourself, it will be relatively cheaper, and the ** of buying discounted goods is almost the same as in China. And when eating out, a meal** is about 80 yuan. Next, look at Sydney, where rent is more expensive, up to 3,000 yuan per week, and the annual living expenses are about 150,000 yuan. In terms of dining, restaurant meals** are about 100 yuan, and cooking by yourself is relatively economical, while milk tea is priced between 25 and 40 yuan. In addition, the cost of transportation is also an expense, with the bus starting at 15 yuan and the fare for more than 8 kilometers at 25 yuan. And a movie ticket is about 100 yuan, which is much higher than the domestic ticket price. Finally, look at Canberra, the cost of living is relatively low, and the rent for a week is about 2,000 yuan. If you buy your own food and cook, the price is similar to that in China. On the whole, these are the basic expenses of Australian international students.
For many international students, it is difficult to achieve a part-time income in order to maintain a normal life in Australia. Normal living needs, including basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation, are quite expensive. Even some relatively high-paying part-time jobs can be difficult to pay rent. Buses start at a high price and cost a lot of money, with even the most basic entertainment, such as going to the movies, costing a hefty fee. To sum up, wanting to make money and bring it back home is not a realistic goal.
Behind the boom in the Australian study abroad market, it is largely driven by economic interests. Many students want to be financially satisfied by studying abroad, but the reality tells us that it is almost impossible to earn money while studying in Australia and bring it back to your home country. International students have a high level of consumption, and it is difficult to make up for their living expenses through part-time income.
Therefore, students should be rational when choosing a country to study in and their goals. The purpose of studying abroad should be to focus on learning and acquire knowledge and skills through formal academic channels. Not all countries and regions are suitable for earning wealth, and you shouldn't see it as a shortcut to making a fortune. For international students, the most important thing is to get a good education and life experience, which is the true value of studying abroad.
Summary: Although studying in Australia has become popular because of economic interests, it is not realistic in practice. The purpose of studying abroad should be to receive a good education and gain life experience, not just to make money. Students should think carefully when choosing a country and university to study at, and be clear about their goals and motivations. At the same time, you should be rational about the cost of living abroad, and be clear about your financial situation and affordability. In the process of studying abroad, strive to learn and develop your abilities to achieve your personal career and life goals, rather than pinning your hopes on external financial gains.
