about going overseas ...melbourne, perth, UK???

after today 9am class with my lecturer mr. toh, i realize that i should have a degree in interior design or interior architecture, but its a lot of trouble if i really going australia to have my 9 months degree. first of all, of course is financial problem. u see, if i loan from bank, going australia at least 100k plus living cost, let say 7 years contract to pay back, 100k divide by 84..= rm1190 per month!! how am i going to pay back the bank when i come back? omg, fresh grad salary is like 2k+ for degree holder??..there is no way im going to overseas...but i really wanted to go... cause u see, having a overseas degree is better than having local diploma in ID field, of course experience is most important, but degree is 'safer' for now...hmmmmmm, hope someone can help me out for this problem..:(. anyone know how to get better solution other than loan from bank? or how to get that kind of money legaly haha...

Frankly speaking,it's hard to persuade any bank to issue this kind of education loan for you in current situation.I think going to seek sponsorship from some big companies/organizations should be a way too.
And from my sense,a creative course needs knowledge+experience.So if you really can't afford that amount of fees to get a degree,you could try to find a good job which gives you enough learning spaces and of course a good pay first.Saving money now and then plan for a higher education later.Just put it into your lifetime learning schedule and that will be meanful too.
Finally I hope you could get your own decision. :)
P.S:Is the tuition fee really so high?What I know is RM50,000-RM70,000 per annum for degree course and then another RM30,000-RM40,000 for living expenses.Of course,you may get hired for some part-time work and earn some extra against your expenses.

ya. you're right, find sponsorship from big companies, but after that in any situation you have to work for them for a very long time, if the pay is low, u have to work for them too. rm50k to 70k is the same, i don't have that amount of money, just stay back here, work and learn more for experience :)
