What Are You Doing Right Now? (153 Viewers)

[Dostoevsky]

It's good . For some reason I didn't feel like drinking yesterday, at all. Just had a quiet evening on a balkony in Copenhagen with some friends. How about you?

Sounds good.

I'm drinking coffee right now and writing about globalization I should have ~30 pages till end of the month. And if there's any luck I should graduate in 30-40 days. Still sounds too creepy, I never thought I'd finish.

I wish I had motivation to study, but meh.

That's how I've felt the last 8 years.

After six years of study for high school leaving test - college - masters, I am just completely fried.

Seeing people work their ass off like 10 hours/day and earn 300 euros/month without college degree was enough to motivate me.

I have 1 exam left and some paper to write but I can totally understand that as I'm fried already, but there's no way I'm gonna give up now. Dunno what it is, but I wouldn't describe it as lack of motivation. More like information overload, so now even easy exams look like a pain in the ass to me.

The government pays me $700 a month not to work. I'm not necessarily unmotivated because of this, but I am finding it very hard to deal with 2 educational commitments I have at the moment because I have no career interest in one (my Masters) and the other is a state run course which are just shit. I've worked in Finance for 6 months and I hated it. So essentially I have experience in an industry I don't want to work in, education in one there is no work in and no skills to go into one I'd like to go in.

But the real reason right now? The government outsourced a training program to work in export marketing and business management. They won't let me do it because I haven't been getting their money for long enough!

I was where you are now 3 years ago, excited and motivated but overload by information. Then the world crushed my dreams.

Well that blows. But why again are they paying you 700$ a month? Over here they are just taking money away from us.

Bold part didn't make sense to me.

Essentially if you don't have a job and are looking for one OR taking a course to improve employability they pay you money each week depending on your economic circumstances. So I'm do Java certification because it's the only one the ignorant bitch at the government office would sign me up for. I still have to resubmit my Masters Dissertation as well. I don't really want to do either right now because they are so fucking boring.

If I didn't have a girlfriend I would move to Dubai and teach English for $8000 US a month TAX FREE. But Love is a strange mistress and I've got to look after my future family prospects rather than my wallet

Can't say that sounds bad lol.

Meh, why commit at your age and miss out a chance that can make your life be better for the next 40 years. No girl is worth it, they are all whores. Well, almost all.

You can always come back home, though. I mean after a couple of years.

€21,797 – €36,328 per year

??

that's not $8000/m

 

[Dostoevsky]

That's €36,328 per year at most. Might as well be 25k.

 

[ZoSo]

€36k is really not much. I'd make more in my first job right out of uni

or maybe around that

It's tax free - no way you'll be getting that.

tax free, ah. Well you still can, I've seen like 80k+ for first jobs but obviously there are only a few of those positions.

Just write "tuz experience" on your application and the job is yours.

Thanks for advice
