Elias, unfortunately I agree with you that the complex of superiority led us to this situation. Add that the widening of the EU area convinced many companies to move the production in the poorest european countries: now the former-richest european job markets are experiencing both the competition of the BRICS and of the new european partners too.
Howether, I traveled enough to be very convinced that IF a person reaches a decent economical stabiliy, Countries such as "old europe" ones are the best places where to live because of the multitude of different life opportunities they grant.
That is so Dave, unluckily when I started my study course the unemployment in my country was about the 5 % of avarage. Now we have reached the 14 % (!!). Who could expect such a worsening? And concider than countries as Spain and Greece have an avarage unemployment about the 25%.

I feel that the only Countries where an european would live in a confortable way are USA (and not everywhere), Canada (freezing), Australia (I spent one month in Sydney. It is beautiful but laks of cultural opportunities), and New zeland. Life is not just a matter of earning money, but of living in a place were you would like to spend your money too, and were you feel that your children will grow up in the best way possible. Italy is not that kind of place, but only under the economic and politcal point of view. It's more likely i would move to Swiss rather than to one of the previews... at least USA.
0 votedDecember 7, 20140well, apart from Africa (which is probably even more lost than Europe is), i guess you are right. Unfortunatly i'm graduated in a five years course at the law school, and I studied the italian / european source of rights (useless in common law countries such as in elsewere too). Add that i'm in a stable relationship... it is not easy for me to leave this f***ing continent, and anyway this f***ing country in the first instance.

I'm an italian "youngster": yes, I put youngester in brackets, and the reason is that I'm not supposed to be a youngester at all, or, at least I would be not a youngester in every other country in the world but in Italy.
I've graduated in a five years long course (which is theoretically one of the most "spendable" ), but now I find myself stucked in cycles of internships which usually lead to nothing.
But how the internships work in my country? Aren't them supposed to be just a way to teach a job to a youngster ? no! not here: companies hire youngsters, who are paied a pittance (indeed we are not talking about a real salaries but just of an expanses refund of 500 Euros) and use them for every kind of basic activity. At the end of the intership contract, the companies usually just forget about the stagist and hire someone else. And there is nothing better than this a graduated youngster can do here in Italy. No way to find a proper job; no economical stability to buil a family.
