... I feel weird always saying what things are like in Australia ... but anyway:


Pants = Trousers (both are equally said), mall is never said. Don't know why, just isn't.

Oh, and here's one you may or not may have heard of: Trousers can also equal "trackie-dacks".

They all begin with M, I knew that much! :laugh:

And yes, Da Goat, what your thinking is probably right, a mental intstitute!
No, its Southampton Institute of Higher Education, although I think theres similarities between it and a mental institute!

Where abouts in Australia do you come from Nastypoisonspikes? Thats where I want to go travelling in about 6 months time!!!!!! Was just going to try and work round the east coast, and do loads of fun stuff like surfing and coral reef conservation, and i want to do voluntary work looking after kangaroos and koala's!

okay college's and universities are the same thing to an extent. They both have the same purpose..further ones learning for a job later in life. The main difference is a college is small. They probably don't have tons of students, so probably don't have many sports programs and a less variety of classes. Universities are much larger. They have more students, so more sports programs and much broader variety of classes...hopes this helps,

Wingers: Correct to an extent, but Universities allow for you get receive a much higher and broader level of education while colleges usually concentrate on one thing and give you a bachelors so you can do fair at the trade.

Imagine it as the difference between trade school and that 1st class school thingy. Both are schools, but one offers a better education and is tougher to get into/achive well at.

I doubt you'd get much money with being a game reviewer, no matter what company it is. Yes, even GamePro :rolleyes:

Wayda go, wardrich :thumbsup:


I'm debating where my first job is going to be....I'm getting my license in only a couple of weeks, so the town is mine :)

Here's my ideas:

Jack in the Box
Subway
Wal-Mart (I'm not sure if they hire kids my age though [16])

I also might consider some places at the mall (KB Toys, Gamestop, a few skating shops, New Frontiers [health food shop, for those who don't know], Dairy Queen, a few others....])

Do you know if these places accept 16 year olds?

i have a bad feeling about gettin this job. Apparently they alread have like a foot high pile of resumes, and today is only the 3rd day it has been open. Oh well, i can still hope.

They hire at 14 around here... do they have any Marsh's around there? If so, I KNOW they hire at 16.

Ive had a job since i was 12. I did pennysaver (Thats a paper), Cleaning Machinery and now i'm a dishwasher.

No, there is no Marsh's around here....I don't know what that is.

I'm pretty sure the age that they can start hiring in Arizona is 16. Some jobs won't allow 16 year olds to do it, though (ie. delivering pizza. You have to be 18 to do that).

Well duh. You need a full liscence.

Yeah, you couldn't do it until 17.

I know, I know. That was just the quickest example I thought of.

And I think you get your full license at 18 here.

But there are some restaraunts that won't let you work there too, 'cause they don't think 16 year olds are trustworthy :Angry:

"If they get behind the counter, they'll inevitably be tempted to steal from the cash register"
