Show Notes
A new study has shown teachers, nurses, social workers and midwifes are badly hit financially while on unpaid university placements.
The study says it can take eight years for a nurse to have higher cumulative earnings than someone who worked for minimum wage at the same time.
Senior lecturer in maths and statistics at the University of Canterbury Leighton Watson joins the show.
