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.) |
I understand that pain, it was what scared me most about leaving. You'll soon find that international flights are fairly cheap, so you can go home once or twice a year with ease, and modern technology bridges the other gaps. I'm still in touch with all my friends and family from home through Facebook.
On top of that, you'll always make new friends in the place you arrive. Friends with careers and connections, friends who will open doors for you. Friends from all over the world who'll introduce you to crazy new foods and convince you to go off on random weekend-long holidays out in the Philippines, or Korea, or Skiing in Japan.
I had one friend who offered me the chance to see North Korea. I baulked at the last minute though, the very thought of the place sends chills down my spine.
