Fucking Study Link.

[McDuck]

not enough to pay fuck all for a student to live on but they only pay between one and two weeks BEHIND?????? What the fuck are we meant to live on for the first 1-2 weeks of being a student? For fucks sake why cant this country actually fund its futcher earners?

Should put you in touch with my daughter, she has a pic of her studylink 'contact' on a dart board and uses her for target practice. Welcome to the real world mate. This is the sort of crap that some of us deal with everyday!

As a future earner, you might like to learn how to use spell check if you cant actually spell.

Studylink are buggers alright, but they probably get paid a week behind themselves.

How can we answer that question?

Well, if we were to raise the academic standards your studies would become even more expensive I suppose. ;)

[McDuck]

Ok. I have never failed a UNI leval assignment on spelling. But this is not about spelling it is about studylink.

well - you could always get a job as opposed to complaining.

Thats how the rest of us survive Is there any reason that students should be any different. Sitting with not enough money for 2 weeks is not a good or smart position to be in.

And as for funding future earners - pfft dont start me on that.

[jrandom]

Waaaa, I want free money now, not in two weeks time.

I never thought I'd find it necessary or appropriate to say this, but harden the FUCK UP.

[yungatart]

There are plenty of part time jobs here at the moment. Fruit picking/grading etc. Aren't you doing Hort? Could help with your "book learning" too!

You can't work and do uni at the same time if you want to get good grades anymore, unless you are some kind of genius. The competition is fierce. Things have changed, there are heaps more people at uni these days and you need to study much harder to cut it.

Either that or I have become dumber since I was last at uni.

the thing is not the lack of money it is not knowing about it. If i had knowen that the payments were not starting till then then i would have PLANED for it.




Oh and it IS NOT FREE MONEY. We have to pay it back.

[faredce]

my post is simple and to the point.....
i hate studylink
plain and simple

[hazard02]

Mate you aren't the only one pissed off with them. I don't qualify for an allowance or accomodation supplement because my parents earn too much. Apparently it doesnt matter that they don't help with my rent, or speak to me for that matter (which I have witnesses to verify) and that I'm stuck with dental bills worth more than I care to disclose. I'm claiming everything I can under the living costs (and racking up some lovely debt), but $150 a week is only just enough to pay food and rent. I'm pissed at the fact that I have to cram in around 20 hours of work into an already busy week to make ends meet when theres a shitload of people who are in considerably more comfortable circumstances and get "free money." Chin up though, soon enough you'll have a qualification and we can all bugger off somewhere else to earn the money we dream of making while dining on 2-minute noodles and beans on toast.

/rant over.

And i will probebly get part time work, heck i like to have money. I may also move a bit closer to the polytech.

Silly monkey. Don't they teach the yoof of today anything about emigrating to avoid paying loans?

Try being a student in Scotland.....a couple of months studying before finally getting the loan isn't unusual. HTFU

Umm, the money we've saved from our summer jobs perhaps?

And they pay one week behind just like any other job, so what's the big deal?

[scracha]

Yes but you would know about that so you could prepare...

EH...no. I was 2 years into my 4 wasted years when they first introduced student loans (motherfuckers). They couldn't process them fast enough so there were lots of people waiting for months to get the peso's.

As for too many students now...yes. Courses should be linked to jobs. There's always a shortage of good science and engineering graduates and yet the courses are always under subscribed. Too many job dodgers going for easy $hit like psychology or media studies.

Working and studying...oh my heart bleeds. I knew guys and gals who literally worked the equivalent of full time hours whilst studying and yet they'd rather starve than go cap in hand to mummy and daddy. As the kiwi's keep telling me....they need to HTFU.

Yep, been there done that. I quit full time work to study full time and work part time. Get better grades that way.

Well your really have to work on your research skills. Its not like they keep it a secret. Your lack of planing is your fault not theirs - you should be angry with yourself not them.

Oh and when i had a chat with the call center worker form study link i was told that the payments would start in the first week of study.

[Steam]

Yes, certainly.
Holidays are a different matter, and you have to work then anyway because your loan and allowance stops over the holidays if they are longer two weeks, or maybe three, I can't remember.

During uni a decade ago I worked just 5 hours a week at the supermarket to keep my foot in the door, then when holidays came I grabbed all the shifts i could, nearly full-time.
A good arrangement.

Full time work and full time study is hard, and your grades will suffer unless you happen to be particularly gifted or experienced in a given subject. But it's Not true that you can't work part time, study full time and get good grades. Just requires god old fashioned hard work is all.

Nice comeback ! :niceone::niceone:(you get two Tank thumbs up).

But seriously its the comments he made about us "investing in the future earners of NZ" - which is (of course) bullshit and its that which I find annoying.

Going to Uni has no indication of future earnings - there are a lot of uni students with piss useless degrees. There are a lot of people who have no deg who earn a ton (and therefore pay huge tax).

A lot of them (possibly not the poster - but he did infer) want to be invested in - then piss off to Aust - which would make them a poor investment!

[BIHB@0610]

Why not just get one of those interest free overdrafts for a couple of weeks? I know it's not ideal, but it seems you might be in a bit of a pickle, with study starting this week or next, and no money coming in?

It would get you out of a bind anyway - you can work next holidays and pay it off?

(Many many years ago ... hehe) I studied full time and worked part time through my first degree - also had kids during it. I passed with honours. I'm now working full time, raising the kids, and doing a post-grad degree part time. Welcome to student life McDuck, it's addictive, and expensive!:rockon:

Plenty of us have tried and survived the 'student' experience. As someone else said - HTFU.

(Besides, all students are bludgers, aren't they?):msn-wink:

[HTFU]

You should sue your parents for not getting you an ASG scholarship fund set up when you were a little softy. So now that you are a big softy - HTFU (its all the rage on this thread :rolleyes:)

Anyone with little tykes that want a back up plan incase the kids decide to partake in tertiary study should have a look into ASG, will save your kids coming onto KB moaning about WINZ not putting out.

[gijoe1313]

Spent all me student allowance on food, movies, comics, games and useless stuffs ... and somewhere in between I actually got to classes if I could be bothered getting up from my card/board games :innocent:

I think I was paid to play Risk or Shogun all day at times ....

T'was different in me day! :sweatdrop

[homer]

whats you studying ......

some up to date level of fuck all to become another nothing ,
so when you fin the training you ll have a year off cause youve done so much hard work .

then find you need to go and spend another year retraining cause its out of date what you studyed in the first place .
after all this you ll go to aussie ,cause the works easier better paying etc etc
better time off .

And after all this youll be complaining about the amount you own the NZ govt for the training ,AND YOU CHOSE TO DO IT


why didnt you just wake up and get a job

Well i am studying to become an orchard manager, probably kiwifruit. So is there any money in that?
BTW i do not want to piss of to aus, it has to many Australians but the fact is with the amount of BS in this country i can understand it.


And even if i did i would still pay it back, i am not one to run away from a loan.

So, this two week delay is a big surprise that just popped up and nobody anywhere has ever been informed of it before and therefore noone has ever made any allowances for it ever??

Unless it was a complete surprise and there was no way in hell of anyone ever finding out about it before it was a problem then you might get a bit of sympathy. If on the other hand you could have found out about it and prepared, like you have to do with so much in life, HTFU.
