<prompt> Human: I am currently in my 2nd year of a Primary School Teaching degree. I live in Melbourne and seriously cannot find a job anywhere, only rejection emailscalls. I have no credit card debt or any other kind of debt apart from student HECS debt which will be 35k AUD once finished and I live with my parents. I have 8 dollars to my name and no savings, I panic a lot and have my fair share of mental health issues from dealing with pressure. Im not even entitled to government benefits because im not classified as independent.Is there any advice from someone, even if youre not australian, for any options that will help me financially. I feel like im alone in this scenario and everyone else i know is well off. Even if i got a part time job, how would I be able to stop myself living week to week.Thank you all from rpersonalfinance . I am just full of stress, worry and uncertainty  <response>: I started in a similar position to you and Im coming to the tail end of a six year degree now in Sydney. I think you need to ask yourself - how much of this is actually a problem? As youve identified yourself, you are panicked, stressed and full of uncertainty about your financial situation - but you havent clearly identified what the problem is apart from not being able to find a job. Have you discussed this with your parents? Are they happy to support you fullypartially during your uni degree? Have they indicated that this financial responsibility is a problem? Most people especially at our age, living in MelbourneSydney, are not well off. The ones who appear well off either come from money, or are just spending excessively. The fact you think about this stuff already puts you a mile ahead of the pack. From a more practical point of view - personally I had a job at Uni for most of my degree though I admit these jobs are quite hard to get and supplemented this with private tutoring. You and I both didnt qualify for Centrelink - even though I was somewhat financially independent - thats tough luck but not much which can be done unfortunately.
