well you still need to tell me mate, 'coz no one in their right mind would pay $60 for a half hour guitar lesson, unless maybe the teacher was Jimi Hendrix py: anyway, if people are dumb enough to pay you that much than do a few lessons a week!

I pay $47 an hour for drum lessons with a nationally known drummer / percussionist who is also in a 4 piece band with the arguably best drummer / perscussionist worldwide!!!

I pay $25 for 30-45 minutes of Cello lessons a week.

Look in your local paper, do some research, find out how much ppl are charging for guitar lessons in your area. Find out from the Dept of Fair Trading if there's anything special you need to do to teach (just to be on the side of the law).

Just check around... cos then you can teach kids/adults how to play and work your own hours, around Uni.

If you've got your forklift licence & really want to work, give me a PM, I could have a job for you.

Cheers

You could get work easily in the Disabled Residential Care sector... DADHC are screaming out for workers and in some cases all you have to do is keep a house tidy and cook meals. The pay is awesome considering the level of work involved.

Well.. It was at school in group lessons of yr 6 students.. 6 students paying $10 per week for half an hour lessons...

For single lessons the going rate is approx about 25-30 for half hour.. There were 4 groups per week...


Cant get Johnny Howard Money because I am apparently Not Independant.. The only way you can get that money is to be kicked out of Home.. Or have parents who earn less than ~~~ a year..

I dont live with parents but I am Not Independant.. Figure that out??


Whats the go on getting a Forklift Licence???

If you've got a forklift licence, then I can see about getting you a casual job, as the company I work for are always looking for casual fork lift drivers.

I'm unsure where you go to get one though, I think you can find courses in the classified areas in your local paper.

Boy do I have news for you. Have a look at macquarie bank. I read on the UQ job site that they are looking for a part time student in IT or engineering to do basic stuff like reformats, building systems, updating software etc. I'll see if I can get you a link.
