Your pay and employment at the start is largely determined by what kind of degree you hold and on average college graduates still are better off than high school graduates ... Connections are only going to get you so far. Just because a janitor knows a CEO personally doesn't mean that he will be getting a managing position anytime soon. In fact the majority of the new hires are WITHOUT direct connections according to linkedin. Senior positions are simply not available to EVERY type of jobs like janitors, cachiers, and etc for the vast majority of the time. To move into senior positions you must change your career towards management if you want to rise up in ranks and most employees simply have no desire for such ... The high wage jobs are in demand because there are very few out there with that skill set and those who can acquire that skill set. It's all determined by supply and demand ...

For Greek citizens to talk up so much about wanting these social programs a lot of them don't like paying for them apparently ... (They can't have it both ways.)

It's the Government's fault for simply never taking the situation seriously, the avoidance of paying into the system was initially a rebellion against the Ottoman Empire and continued when they broke free. That's over century maybe even far longer, over that period of time if such large sums of income is being syphoned off and money is being borrowed to make up the deficit the will come a time when it hits an unmoveable object. This is why western countries give tax organizations such high power.
