Well, the economy of Greece shrunk by 1/4 in 5 years, That has never happened nowhere else.(in time of peace that is).
27% is the official unemployment rate, however, there are more people without a job (and that's not counting kids or retired people) than with a job.In a country with 10 million people, you can understand that's a lot of misery.
Also, the poverty rate is the 2nd highest in all of Europe, aproximatelly 70% of people under 25 years old are unemployed and and and ..... problems never end.I live them every day cause I actually live in one of the poorest areas in Greece. There are not Favellas here but you get my point.
Anything worse than what Greece is facing right now IS destruction,If what I named above is not considered a destruction allready.
However, not many people here think that anything willl change for the best, despite what most vote for.
Myself, I would just like to not be unemployed when I graduate. ( not that I believe that my wish will come tru.)

Aim higher. Look abroad. If you're young enough to make decisions regarding your education, get yourself certifications in English language (TOEFL, GRE), study a degree of which there is global demand (ie, Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths), if you can afford, do a Masters at a foreign University, and an internship in the same country.
South-East Asia is your best bet: chronic labour shortage and easy immigration laws. Here in Hong Kong, if you're a native English speaker (I know you're not), they'll basically give you a visa because they're so short-staffed on English teachers. I've heard stories of people coming here on holiday, and having job offers before they've gone home.
Hell, I probably get 2 or 3 invitations to interviews every other week through LinkedIn and I'm not even looking.

Logical suggestions, however nobody wants to go away from his family and friends, cause you know...without them you are empty.
I have certificate in English, and I actually study in the civil engineering school of NTUA (National Technical University of Anthens) which is considered the best in Greece and one of the best in Europe.Still, I probably won't be able to find a job here, and even if I do it will be for 400-500 euros and 8 hours in the best case scenario. (Cause people work much more than that, those who do have a job). And I worked my butt off to get into NTUA.
What I'm saying is that, if I don't have a hope of having a normal life here, then who has? It just shoudn't be like this.
(at least there are no studing fees in the University so I'm good for now.)
