Free software for students and cost for graduates (freelance), here is the list, what do you think? please add any software you think needs to be added.

While the course will obviously pay for professional software my worry is when they graduate will they be able to afford the prices if they are freelance and just starting off or building there portfolio after a gap year and so on.
