Help Chen save and get her second degree

Hi friends, I'll just be transparent and say that I need to get a second student visa in order to stay in Australia. I will apply by July 2024 as that is when my current temporary graduate visa expires. It is a bit hard to determine what the future looks like for temporary work visas and Permanent Residency, as the details and requirements keep changing each time. After the most recent change to the Graduate Visa (visa that I'm on) extension, the student visa would be the only viable option for the time being.

The fundraising 'goal' is for July 2024, so it's not a "I need $2000 now" type of situation. It's also more of a safety net, especially since my work hours will be restricted once I'm studying. If I ended up pursuing something else or do not need the money anymore by July 2024, then I will give the money back to you. For that reason, I'll keep track of who's giving so I know how much to give back to each person.

Donate only if you want to, and this can be a "instead of buying me Christmas/birthday gifts or treating me to things because I already have a lot of stuff" type of situation if you normally do give me stuff for those times. You can put that $3 or $5 or $10 here instead so that it stays there until I have to withdraw them.

I'm looking at scholarships and cheaper options for studies and leaning towards business/accounting qualifications or other qualifications that would be on the government's skilled occupation list (a list that will determine who's the good immigrant and who's the bad immigrant, so to speak). So far the options are either through Keystone College, Sheridan Institute of Higher Education, or Kaplan Business School (All CRICOS registered. Not going for big unis that overcharge students). I'm working and saving up, but some help would be appreciated as international student fees are 2-3x what domestic students pay, plus we have to pay it upfront each semester and pay for our own health insurance to cover basic health needs that's normally covered by Medicare (We are not eligible for Medicare, Centrelink, HEX, or anything like that). I also personally don't want to save up in such a way that stops me being hospitable where I can (i.e. I'm carefully budgeting, but I do also still want to do things like cook for people when they need or give lifts etc.) I know that it's easy for me to drastically change to the extreme - I don't want to suddenly be the type of person that calculates everything ("Pay me $3 for the ride I gave you" "Pay me 50 cents for breathing the air in my house") or says no to everything (e.g. events, going out with friends) in order to save on extreme mode. I've saved up on unnecessary spending like streaming services and such (Have not watched a single show in 7 months!), and would like to continue being shrewd in that way and practice self-control rather than cutting back on people, if that makes sense.

I'm also not that desperate to stay in Australia, happy to venture to other countries or go back home, but thought to try anyway.
