I am finishing my last year at Uni of Manchester (UK), and coming from a poor family in Eastern Europe.
On one hand, it really sucks that I can't really afford to focus mainly on education because I have no plan B regarding money and have spent enough time being totally broke. It was a bit crushing experience when I knew I could do much better, if I could spend more time on it.
But on other hand, that experience of working my up definitely helped me to grow up as a person. Which maybe is much more valuable, then the technical skills and the degree?
