Hard times

I graduated the last July.

When I was a student I considered a the degree to be the final goal, but now I realize that it is only the beginning. I have to start again, to learn again and to make mistakes get wrong again. I have to choose valuable which new teachers are valuable and to discern good advices from the bad ones,; scientific facts from personal opinions ...

Italian Universities give us a lot of theoretical knowledges, but not much practice, so it is really demoralizing going around with a degree and without any appropriate clinical experience.

And it is really distressing seeing this Italy that doesn't employ, or employes but doesn't pay, the young workers and fires the old ones.

Overall it is really distressing grievous to hear about the thousands of suicides of small businessmen who didn't manage to pay their taxesduties.

I hope there'll be an end to for this hell and, a brighter future for my Nnation and my generation.

Sorry to hear about the tough times right now Laura.  Also here in Spain it's a little like that.  I guess we all have to take the steps we can to make the place we live into the place we want to live - though I know that this can sometimes seem impossible.  Good luck with finding work.
