Uncertainty

As I brows a yahoo group of age carers from Davao who are already in Australia, I found out lots of uncertainty about my path going to Australia.

First, the funds I need to produce in order to pay for the visa processing and the tuition for the school in Australia. For this I will have to gamble on my inheritance from my father. I believe he will approve of this, what I'm doing is for the best and I'm hoping for my father's guidance.

Next, the dilemma of waiting for my student's visa. I'm not sure if it will be approved or be denied. It will take 2-3 months as promised by the school.

Lastly, once approved and once there in Australia what is my assurance of having a paid OJT right away since I will only bringing small amount of pocket money. One member of the yahoo group said they have not work right away, it took them 3 weeks before a work was offered. For 3 weeks they spent their pocket money almost to the bottom.

Lots of things have not been explained to me by the school such as: a work permit besides your student visa before having a paid OJT, Australian police clearance, opening an account, TFN (tax number) etc. Furthermore, the place to stay, the cost, the food, all the school have said was just a speculation or estimates of the cost.

Huh!! lots of questions pa in mind, I think I'll research more on how to get there (Australia) in such an assured state. Until the school explained everything, every consequences and every details, until the UNCERTAINTY still hangs I will not gamble my money(inheritance) nor my family.

I will find another route to Australia...........
