I feel like crying when I think about it tbh. I'm hoping and praying to land a job (ehm, on 17th next month it's gonna be exactly 2 years since I graduated) but I already it's gonna be in a 200-250e range. I already know that people are gonna tell me 'oh it's fine you're just getting started' but that's one big flat lie as people earn those figures for their entire life. I honestly don't know in which country you get 300e when you have a uni degree and a rent is 150-200e. That's absolutely insane. And food... oh man, food costs...
Dule don't lose hope yet!!! It's almost 5 years since I graduated and I don't have a single day of working experience in my field. Hell I'm working as a salesperson at a Supplement store...

I don't know if you tried but you should check Procredit Bank and their Young Bankers Programme, I'm sure you could do great there!

Yeah, I applied to pretty much all banks (where I could), but nada.

I try to find anything but it seems hopeless really.

Funny since my nickname when I was in the balkans was debeli lazhov lol

@Red - Gary Player on Chambers Bay: 'One of the worst golf courses I've ever seen'

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/golf-...st-golf-courses-i-ve-ever-seen-195035261.html

I'm glad he said what we've all been thinking
A bit hyperbolic.

Anyway, more importantly, a 72 this morning will have comfortably got me into the knock-outs (last 16) of the Club Championship.

Hit one one the best shots I've hit in yonks to finish the day as well: 3-wood from about 255 yards to 15 feet to set up a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th.

Yeah, it can get pretty bad. It took me a year and a half to find something acceptable and I had a really good degree too.

Lack of internships was my main downfall. Idk if you can be an apprentice for the banks or something or maybe even an assistant to a finance person. Just bother someone enough until they say ok.

Not really, there would be more money for people to spend when the government isn't pinching half your income. Theoretically that would mean there would be more wealth, not to mention the fact people are incentivized to work and not sponge off government benefits. You know even though I don't condone the blatant racism of the rising right wing in Europe, nor do I agree with their generalization of immigrants(I truly believe embracing and assimilating immigrants can actually boost a country's economy) but I do kind of understand their frustration with a sizable percentage of immigrants who do go to countries like the Scandinavian ones(Sweden especially) with the intention of sponging off unemployment benefits etc.
Look, I get arguments against other social welfare payments, unemployment benefits, state regulation, etc. (although I don't agree with them), but public healthcare and public education are such no-brainers really, to an extent where I actually can't understand how anyone who hasn't got a self-serving financial interest in the sectors being privatised can plausibly be against it. I've had this discussion a lot of times already (including a couple of times on this forum), and I don't really feel like writing a lengthy paragraph on the matter, but this is an issue where I don't think I'll ever understand the other side.

As to your second point, the matter is quite complicated of course, but what I've noticed in general is that the vast majority of people violently against immigration is doing so for every reason but rational arguments. For example, here in Austria it has been well established by empirical studies that immigrants actually pay more into the social security system than they receive in benefits (I'm not quite sure about the situation in other European countries although I've heard similar things about the UK at least). Still, the image of immigrants leeching off the Austrian tax payers gets rehashed every election campagin. And contrary to most people believing the country to be "flooded" with immigrants, the number of people moving to the Austria has been drastically declining for decades, with the past 1-2 years being the first ones to slightly go against this trend due to ISIS & co.

What's most hypocritical to me though is the criticism of the refugees being too lazy to work, while in reality they're not allowed to until their asylum requests are processed, which can take months or even years. I know a couple of Syrian refugees, and the wait is killing them. They've had nothing to do all day for months, and that can seriously wear a man down, especially if, like some of them, you've still got family at home who are constantly in danger of falling to ISIS and aren't allowed to move over here until the requests are processed. Shit's fucked up.

No sane person wants more taxes just to feed an influx of immigrants. Hell, taxes in general are garbage. Individuals are already taxed to death in the West and what good does it do? Nothing...

I want to say something before this whole thing gets out of control. In 1967, in the hot desert sun, a woman gave birth to a boy in the back of old pick up. She was a whore. She left the boy at a local church. The father at the church didn't like children, but he knew that being a disciple of the bible he couldn't possibly not take the small kid. Instead he ended up taking out his frustration on the boy. At the age of three, the boy was forced to use the toilet. Let me tell you the little fell into his own pile of poop more than once. By the age of 5, the boy the boy was reading the bible and chopping wood for the fire. Despite the father's harsh character, the boy loved him and thought of him as his true father. By the age of seven the father raped him three times. The boy ran away. He survived four days in the desert by eating cactus and scorpions. He was finally found by a drug cartel boss, who took the boy in. Mr. Sanchez was his name, and he was immediately impressed by the boys intelligence and grown up attitude. Mr. Sanchez provided the boy with an education at a private prep school and a nice house. The boy had sex for the first time when he was 12, the next year he graduated high school. He was the school's star running back. The boy was lost, although he liked Mr. Sanchez, he never thought of him as his father. The boy went to India, were he became a spiritual leader of a large tribe of farmers. With his power he turned the several plots that each tribe member had into a large corporate farm and became a millionaire. His assets grew as he bought into other successful start ups. He often got ahead in business with his great leadership abilities, but once in a while he used violence. This was India after all. By the time he was 22, the boy had all the money he would ever need. So he bought a yacht and traveled the world for 10 years. For 10 years he visited every major port, slept with girls from every country imaginable, and tried every drug ever made (by nature and by man). When he was 33, he was walking on a beach in French Guiana when he met a girl of Irish - Native American decent. She bared his seed. It was boy, perfect health. He moved them to Argentina, then London, and eventually Vermont. The man was 45 now, he has seen everything, accomplished everything, tried everything. He skied down the Swiss Alps, been at the North Pole, swam with hammerheads, everything! Yet he has never done one simple thing that we all take for granted every day, he met his father. He never played catch with his father, he never talked about women with his father. He never would. He died at the age of 63 when his parachute didn?t open when he was base jumping from Dagger Mountain in Washington, USA. Over three thousand people attended his funeral. I know what you are thinking. How does this story relate to me? Well I want you to go all the way back to the beginning of the story and remember the woman who gave birth to this incredible boy. You are like this woman. You are like this women because you are a whore.
Bravo sir, bravo :tup:

Having been part of many asylum requests, I must say that in the vast majority of cases the requirements for political asylum are not met. And there are definitely immigrants who just want to receive benefits. Quite a lot actually. The question is whether or not you can really hold it against them. You have lots of people who were born in Europe and do the same. The discriminating factor is your nationality and that is hardly justifiable. As a concept borders are an imperfect yet, for now, necessary system.

If you go to a hospital here with a sprained ankle you will be helped, if necessary operated on, and be out on your way with a medical bill of 15 euros. To me that means a hell of a lot. I doubt your private healthcare even comes close to what is offered to everyone here.

Then again I believe in basic income too, so maybe I'm just naive.

Evening bitches.

It's so good to see no presence of Danes on the forum, who did the genocide? I'd like the personally thank them.

In other news, i love how everyone panics and gets all dramatic in Bombay due to rains. Peeps who panic are usually the ones who will never be affected by them.
