Introduction

     Work life balance is one of the important factor for international students therefore we have asked international students in EAP4 at Swinburne University about how they earn and manage money.

     This survey was answered by 14 people, who come from Thailand, Japan, Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam and China. Half of them are from China. We asked both of closed ended and opened ended questions by one-on-one interview.

     In our talk, we will present some graphs and summary of our findings.

   

Results and Discussion

     First of all, we have found that a majority of the international students in EAP 4 at Swinburne University have not a part time job, According to Costlow(2001),Two-thirds of international value their personal time, so they're going to make sure they have time to enjoy it. However,we find that most of the students think people work for money. According to  Promislo, Deckop, Giacalone, and Jurkiewicz,(2010)they posited that materialism might be a particularly useful predictor of work–family conflict because it relates directly to personal aspirations.
     We also have found that there was a great number of students who would like to work even if they have enough money.

Conclusion

According to our survey, most international students have not found a job yet, and we found that students work hard to live, but if they have enough money, they work for their own hobbies.
