Help me travel to New Zealand please

Well it may seem like I'm just trying to ask for money but there's more to it. I've always wanted to travel since I was a kid but my parents always drank to much and spent there money on alcohol. And the only time we would travel is when we went camping and that was just an excuse for my parents to drink even more. So I decided that I'd start to save money for a trip of my own and when I graduate high school I would visit Europe. But when it came to graduation my parents said they would help me pay for college after my vacation. So it was either Europe or college. And I decided college and I moved out of my parents with roommates because I couldn't stand that environment. But now I've finished two years of community college and have learned a lot but now I think it's time to follow my heart and travel. I chose New Zealand instead of Europe because my friends are living there right now. They told me that if I fly over Id have a few job interviews lined up because they asked there bosses. So please help me travel and fill my dreams and let me create a new life abroad. Thank you :)
