    I am Greek. I lived abroad for 20 years, came back. I feel sorry for Niki and her friend. There are two societies in Greece. A small society of the privileged, who have income without dependence to a private employer (e.g., those that have real estate, getting income from rents, those who have "connections" and are employed in predominantly public sector positions where they make money without significant effort and have lots of spare time) - for them life is far, far better than the average European, as you can literally work part time (or not at all), and still enjoy relatively cheap services, amazing weather, etc.. Then there is a much larger society that Niki belongs to which is the one that depends on an employer to make a living. Life for this society is hell, especially now that inflation has made everything much more expensive. This society gets taken advantage of, by the people belonging to the first group: low wages, no prospects of advancement, a lot of working hours. If you are Greek and belong to the second category leave; don't look back. Go abroad, make some money, then consider coming back later in life. If you are Greek and in the first category, then you are lucky, you will hardly find a better place, at least in Europe.

    My family migrated to Greece in 1991 this kind of hardship was always there for us. I grew up in this country, and I can say with confidence that nothing has changed for better. What I see here is corruption, zero compassion for its people and zero organisational skills in management of this beautiful place.

    I may have missed what this young woman studied, but I think it wasn’t mentioned. One thing that Greece gets wrong is the insistence that everyone gets a university degree, no matter what that degree is in, without any applicability in the local job market, while certain skills are always in short supply and very well paid. Had she pursued a technology degree with programming, as she is doing now on the side, she would have been able to get a higher-paying job or even nowadays a remote job and stay in Greece. A degree ie in Sociology does not mean much in Greece’s employment market. I see a lot of friend having spent years and €€ to study something and then struggle, only to then do something completely different.

      @@Logic101-PhiUoa I only brought up the programming since that’s what that young lady is doing, which tells me there are better jobs in that industry. It could be other things, as with every country, try to get hold of an electrician, or a plumber, especially if you are building and need crews. People for a couple of generations have put too much value in uni education and relating jobs while frowning upon “easier” to learn and enter jobs can get you more money, can lead you to become a business owner and the boss of yourself and can keep you in high demand for life. My uncle who worked with ac installations couldn’t retire from all the clientele. And yet you see young Greeks with degrees waiting tables, working odd jobs in tourism during the summer, or low pay jobs like assistants, receptionists etc. Where is the value in the time spent to get your degree?

      The woman was studying computer programming, specifcally it was a diet management program, written in Java (I can tell as I am involved in IT)...so programming is a very important skill that will allow people to get into this industry and expand and grow your opportunities. Learning the skill and working for a large international company with offices in Europe is an advantage, learning English to a high level is also important.

    Hello! I live in Greece and im 25 years old. Also, i am a Geologist with a master's degree in environmental protection and sustainable development. When i graduated, i found a job in a construction company where im working on in a project and i get paid with 750 euros/ 40h pw. Even though i work remotely and some people would think that this is easy, it's still not. Let me explain:
    The project is ongoing and i have to provide as quickly as possible an unrealistic workload while having alot of pressure coming at me. It's normal to have pressure while working on a project. On the other hand, i really believe i deserve to earn more money and finally manage to live on my own. On top of that i suffer from anxiety and now i just can't stay in my room without feeling that im at work.
    What is the conclusion? The conclusion is that i did everything i could and still can't see how i can live on my own. Yes, ofc i can change jobs until i find a good one, although opportunities here are limited. So, i have also decided to move abroad. That's the easiest and smartest thing to do.

The job affected my studies already from day one. It was impossible. I knew a few people who did it, they were always drained, physically and mentally, and didn't do well in their studies.

    I understand this video is made to inform young "modern people" about the situation in greece, based on the inderests of young "modern people". I would like to give you an historically based information about the situation in greece. Half of the g.d. income of greece (about 100bn) is collected as taxes from the half of the population of greece to be given as a reassured life long steady income to the other half of the population. That has as a result the "little paradice" of the one half to become the real hell of the private economy of the other half. There is no financial air to "breath" a serious private economy. So everything is based on light service jobs that offer cheap service products that have cheap salaries for the people. That is happening in greece for 50 year now. And is going to happen continuously until the end of the days. Whoever does not know that, does not know anything about the greeks and their way of life. Naturaly young "moder people", even the greek speaking ones, have no clue about that situation. Modernity is an enemy of the history (i.e. the knowlegde).

      "Half of the g.d. income of greece (about 100bn) is collected as taxes from the half of the population of greece to be given as a reassured life long steady income to the other half of the population."
      This is how most welfare states work. Half the population also supports children, students, stay-at-home mothers and pensioners. E.g. in my country, Hungary, 4.7 million people work full time, but there are 9.6 million people in the country. Hungary is slowly faring away from it though. It is more and more common for students to work part time (they don't have to pay taxes), for full time workers to start an individual business on the side (the income from this is practically tax free) or for pensioners to work easy jobs (they get a huge tax cut as well).

      Exactly-- the goal of any educated middle class greek is to work in the public sector so they don't actually have to work. Greece was on EU socialism for years--lots of german debt but the financial crisis meant the reality hit and the economy was living way beyond its means with a fat public sector and lots of corruption. The young Greeks suffered the most, but socialism never worked-- EU-led privation finally meant some upgrades to things, e.g. roads / airports and other infrastructure and many things were finally modernized.

      Most Greeks between 20-40 are exactly like this. Nothing but complaining and yet never doing anything to change it. And yet claiming they have all the answers. The older generations are equally blind and arrogant for different reasons. It’s truly a doomed place destined to be nothing more than a vacation destination. I’ll tell you this however, if you want to work in a field which needs actual expertise and not a fake degree you’ll find a decent paying job, yes even in Greece. No “connections” or “privileged” background required.

    If you have no profession or marketable skills, you will still not make enough money to survive in a high cost of living country, and you will still be poor. Why does she think money just rolls in the streets of Switzerland?
    Not to mention that if this lady doesn't have the stamina or resilience to make it through a waitress job, she for sure won't make it as an immigrant which is very hard mentally and emotionally to go through. I should know, I am an immigrant myself.

    The thing that is not being discussed in this video is that, yeah while all these are true about wages and stuff,
    there is something that they do not tell.
    In Greece incompetence, lack of extra or any useful skills , lack of thirst to work extra for capitalism and corpos, and bad employees are not treated the same
    as in other Western developed countries.
    There are no assessments in public workers. Everyone is doing their stuff, with bad tempo and care, and go home paid those low wages they mention.
    The same is starting to become true in many jobs in private sector.
    So, wrapping all these, here in Greece we are never gonna advance further in tech and attitude, everything will crumble from time to time cursing governments,
    but never ourselves, but we will remain in a relatively peaceful state of mind that a german, dutch, swiss, french, would never have.
    We live with our incompetence, we know what is currently happening here, but we do not care, if we grab a cup of coffee and go out in the sun.
    This is a recipe for failure sometime in the future, but it is what it is.
