485 was the biggest waste of money for my friend, he had to apply for bridging visa because 485 took so long to come. But for his case, it is still a little worth since he got a job directly upon graduation. If you don't have a job straight after graduation, going to be rough. Bridging visa needs to renew every 3 months, you have to pay.
After my discussion with him, I decided to apply PR offshore when I graduate and totally skip the 485 pathway.
By the way for ur case, you need to check up the eligibility of each state 190. Since not all states you'll be eligible for it.
How's fishbuff doing now?
No clue, those with his social media, would probably know
make sure u have not reached 32 y.o. by the time u graduate. Because after 32 y.o. your points start to decrease for 190. preferably not more than 29yo by time u graduate. u can then get 3 yrs work experience as pts

I think with the current government, it's pretty easy to get PR with zero work experience. Especially as Aus uni graduate, will be able to apply for it. Provided they nominate the right skill sets and open to taking up 190. I think 491 is probably overkill for aus uni graduate. 189/190 makes a lot of sense.
A social worker who had 70+5 was able to get PR through 190 visa route. As graduate, it's already 80+5. Since TS is in regional, should be able to 85+5. And with proficient english, it's still at least 75+5. More than enough.
