Poor uni students

Just finishing my second year out of four of software engineering as a lovely $7000 of debt piles on each year.

In NZ, students are at the bottom of the social/financial ladder. The Government hands out plenty of dole money to perfectly able bodied people but skimps on students. And they wonder why NZ has brain drain problems.

I'm a poor student. After rent I have about US$600 left a month from the money the government gives me for studying. It barely makes ends meet.
