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 welfare system. There simple are not that many jobs for people without skills in some specific fields and 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.”
