So how do you actually get paid for Aussie 20 dollars per hour ?

Try factories. $20 is higher than some fresh grad full time job salary. LOL

Depending on what you intend to do. I wouldn't recommend Adelaide for business or technology-related studies because they would have weaker industry and research links in those areas. The unis in major cities have stronger advantage in these areas because the biggest corporations are located in Sydney and Melbourne (to a certain extent Canberra), so naturally, they gain greater access to the resources available.
Adelaide does have links with many defense company. SA is the defense state of Australia and there are many big defense companies based in SA such as Tenix, BAE Systems, ASC, and many more. It also has strong links with the Defense Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO). Adelaide's research has contributed alot to the advancement in defense technology, and every now and then Adelaide gets a large sum of financial allocation from the DoD for its research.

Cool,i dont mind working for a defense company. rclxms.gif  rclxm9.gif

So,Adelaide is not some not so developed state.Seems like a decent place to go.

Then,whats the reason that almost everyone just go to Melbourne and Sydney's uni?It seems like no one goes to places like Perth and Adelaide.

As QuackSilver said, you got to be a Australian citizen in order to work in the defense sector. But nvm, this shows Adelaide is still a good uni. And there is other industry in SA as well.

The world ranking is incorrect. All G8 unis are in the top 100 in the world. ANU is among the top 20.
