Why not to live in Spain Why Spain is not a good place to live

I am Spanish and I have been living in these country all my whole live. If your a waiting for a formal writing, you are wrong because i only want to share my feelings and in some case, advice you, if your meditating about came to this country.

Well, this is not a place for you if you a polite a good worker. In my case, i have a bachelor degree in Spanish and a master in Edition and I do not have a jod job, i am only a secretary. Here, your knowledge is not important. The really valuable is your contacts and friends. To get a job, you will need friends or be the relative of someone and if you have the opportunity of find a well paid employee, believe, you will need to have poweful relationship in your position. The spanish employees spend their time goofing and chattering about gossip, even sometimes the made up if they do not have nothing about to speak.

So believe, here your achieves are the less important. This is not America (USA) the country of the opportunities, dear.

If you have had other experiences, please, share.

Thank you for all the comments. I think that if anyone tries to look for a job in Spain, he will see soon that it is true. Obviously, some degrees have the things easier (computer ingeniers, for example). But the rest of us, the young people, have temporal and bad paid jobs. In my case to be teacher i would need another master and pass a statal exam ( 17000 candidates for 380 jobs). I am mother of a child and this salary doesn,t help me to save money [emoji][emoji].

hi Sara! Thanks for this info. Writing about one's country should not just include the anondyne and praise, but also a fair appraisal and if that critisises, then why not? It is always fascinating to hear a truthful criticism from a native, wherever they are from. And, of course, you should feel free to do so. I, for one, did not know of these things before you wrote them. (Vince) Personally, I think the Kennedy remark does not fit. As you will recall, it was inspirational, sure, but to some rich kids, already US beneficiaries, who went to work abroad doing gracious good deeds for Africans, etc, for the Peace Corps (ie not for their country). Having no college place in the US, the poor could not afford to do gracious good works in their college 'gap years' and come back to a sinecure, being too busy with making a living.

Why not to live in Spain

Why Spain is not a good place to live.

I am Spanish, and I have lived been living in this country all my whole life/ my whole life.

If your a waiting for a formal writing, you are wrong because i only want to share my feelings and in some case, advice you, if your meditating about came to this country.

> I f you are think that I am going to write about the country in general, then I'm afraid you are wrong, because I am only going to share some of my feelings about the country, maybe to give some advice, in case you  are thinking about coming to my country.

Well, this is not a place for you if you are an ambitious/a polite a person good worker. In my case, I have a bachelor degree in Spanish and a master in Education, yet  and I do not have a good job -- I am merely a humble secretary. Here, your knowledge is not important. The real asset really valuable is your contacts and friends.

To get a job, you will need friends or be the relative of someone and if you have the opportunity of find a well paid employee; believe , will need to have poweful relationship in your position.

> To get a good job, you need to have friends or a relative of someone who has the contacts to get you a well-paying  job. Believe me, you seriously need some powerful connections to land a good job here.

The spanish employees spend their time goofing and chattering about gossip, even sometimes the made up if they do not have nothing about to speak.

> Many  Spanish workers just spend their time goofing around, chatting with one another or gossiping about one another, the latter they would do anyway if they had nothing to gossip about. They would just make something up. 

So believe, here your achieves are the less important. This is not America (USA) the country of the opportunities, dear.

>So, believe me, when I say your achievements mean nothing here. This is not America ( The USA), the country of opportunities, my dear.

If you have had other experiences, please, share. > If you have some experiences that are of interest, please share them with us.

Finally, i have a blog, theyellowlabyrinth.wordpress.com > By the way, I have a blog: theyellowlabyrinth.wordpress.com

if you would like to practise Spanish and you apreciate the culture, you will love it!> If you like to improve your Spanish or have an interest in Spanish culture, maybe you would like to visit my blog. You will love it!

Sorry Sara. If you are confident in your politeness and abilities do not lose your time trying to work to others as secretary an offer the world your knowledge and skills stablishing your own business. Another option is trying to apply to jobs in multinational companies. Using internet the world has trillions of opportunities that are only at one click distance but in the day by day all we have to manage adversities, That’s life. Live and learn. Like Kennedy said “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

Hello! It worries me when people try to censor others or imply that only positive, rosy content is welcome. Personally I appreciate the honesty and the courage to be open about the shortcomings of one's country, especially at an international forum such as ours. Naturally nobody's experience is all-encompassing, but I bet that person who lives in a given country knows what she is writing about.
