Maybe in some exceptional cases working night/sunday shifts with higher pay.
Either way international students are supposed to have enough money for living cost but many cheat by loaning the money required for the visa and then paying it back. Then they dont have any money in Finland.
You can easily find this same thing happening elsewhere, for example, in canada and australia.
Basically growing number of the people now requiring food aid are immigrants. Luckily this govt is at least somewhat restricting immigration and reducing this absurd thing of importing foreigners to Finland’s welfare system. There simple are not that many jobs for people without skills in some specific fields and/or without Finnish language skills.
Fuck no, unless you’re some code-wizard with god like skills pre-university and working for a really well funded start up. Even then you’re probably just studying on the side to get a degree.
Not just students, even people with full time jobs like for example daycare nurses. Rents rise, food prices are higher than ever, 1 monthly bus ticket is 60+ euros where I live, everything is so fucking expensive and our salaries don’t rise accordingly. It’s outrageous.
I’m not Finnish.
It’s always been hard to be a foreign student here forever except for the period from 2017-2022 when Wolt and Foodora took off and everyone with a bike could make a living delivering food. Now that market is completely oversaturated and the living standards for foreign students are back to normal (as in that they’re shit).
Finland is the “socialist-happiest-place-on-earth utopia” only for the Finns. The reality is that foreigner can’t move here and expect the same living standards as the Finns. Call it racism, call it bigotry, call it xenophobia. That’s just the way it is here. It’s a firmly two-tier society and Finnish people don’t want to change that.
Whatever it is: for the Finnish person foreigners are only here to clean their toilets, sweep the streets, and be seen and not heard. Don’t like it? All you’ll hear is “fuck off back to your own country.”
Kick them out! KiCK THEM ALL OUT! THEY DID WRONG. THEY ABUSING!
Arent you require to have enough funds to support you when you arrive to Finland?
There is an easy solution to get rid of ämpärijonot: don’t offer the ämpäris.
You come to Finland get free education and free food and than you leave after you done since you can’t find a job. Hopefully to some English speaking country. They winning like crazy 💪
Don’t hate the player. Hate the system.
>Österlund metes criticism at how universities of applied sciences market themselves abroad, saying students have shown him promotional materials portraying life in Finland as idyllic. This marketing suggests that finding a job is easy and that they can earn 2,000 euros a month while studying.
2000€/month as a foreign student been possible even when employment was higher?
So where is the food bank? Never heard of it. I’m in Helsinki
2000€ per month!?! I get about 1200€ per month and don’t need any food banks
I need to start abusing food bank too. I earn ~4000 €monthly but I save more if I go to food bank. Atleast more of the food bank material goes away when I go there. I don’t feel sorry for it. Hate the system not the player.
The middle men in the countries of origin of these imported students are obviously lying about life in Finland because they get a cut. The students are gullible, not doing their due diligence and some even cheat the visa system by faking the income / funds requirement.
It’s time to stary deporting these parasites who have obviously lied in their applications.
Popular opinion: Finnish government should give 1337€ a month to everyone and 420€ extra to foreign students. Otherwise we will be all doomed by climate change and famine.
