Hi to all another one! I know It must begin with the apologies but I shall do because my life is like a tornado which doesn´t stop. I move for here, for there looking for a job, I break into a rich house, I rob a bank and so forth. So, you can see I don´t stop but I am not known like others twisters like the most of graduates in Spain, a Greek tragedy in others words.
Last week I have visited a job fair at my university and it was a bit pitiful because no one wants an environment scientist and only accept your cv if you want to go abroad and you speak 3 languages but you must pray to be employed. Yeah, it doesn´t matter you speak 3 but you must speak only English, German or Chinese and, of course, the Spanish and you will work in Spanish later.
In addition, in these universities´ job fair (at least in Spain), employers seek candidates to their internships (that is without a salary and you pay yourself your transport fees) or their practices ( that means you work like a normal employed, may be more time and with more responsibilities, and you will earn the minimum possible). Yeah, have you remembered this thing about contracts in Spain? Well, if you link this information with that a person can have a practice employee until 30 years old or a temporary employee forever, you realize the sad situation for a Spanish graduate who has wasted 25 years old and a lot of money to work free.
It is curious because you can hear such a foolish idea like that, Spanish graduates must cost as US graduates. Well, I say the background. Here all the education is "free" (paid from the taxes in your salary) until the post high school. Then, you have 2 paths (apart from working): study a job or pass a test in order to begin a degree. The costs are the following:
-80€ (about US100$) per year for study a job and this sort of study have a duration of 2 years. So, 160e to sum.
-1200€ (about US1500$) per year for degrees.
These are the costs for high education more or less without the price of books, transport, allocation and so forth. Look at the cost per year for a degree. In this cost, a student pay a 1/6 directly because the rest is paid for the Government (that is from the taxes on each salary in Spain). Consequently, Government wants a university student pays the 6/6 and may be a little more if possible, despite each Spanish will have the same taxes in their salary.
Furthermore, Spanish is different because a degree can need more than the time estimated. For example, there is a degree of 5 years but this on the paper because the most people finish it with more years, may be because of selfish people but it is no a coincidence the most people need more time than the estimated. So have anyone thought about the possibility that degrees have a bad design? No, it have not! So, for example, the Bachellor of Science of Environment Sciences, there are 5 years old on paper but Education Service says that the most people finish it with 6 years old. Is it possible this in UK, for example? Not, it isn´t because if a UK degree have an estimation of 5 years, people finish it in 5 years. So, may be you have a degree for 36000€ with their ideas or up because Government wants to achieve US fees (with the other fees).
May be you say that is cheap in comparison with UK45,000 pounds (about 68,000€ or US81,000$), or CAN100,000$ (about 100,000€) or US100,000$( about 80,000€), per a 5 years degree in UK, Canada or US respectively. It is truth from several experiences that is you have a degree in US or Canada, you find a job with such salary which you can recover the money wasted in 5 years approximately.
Besides, the problem is the following, there will not be a help from the Government but a loan from the bank. So, if you can´t recover the money wasted until 15 years or up (if you have the luck of working) and if you must pay the interest rates for this loan, may be a usual Spanish student not rich would need 20 years to recover their inversion.
Like result, a Spanish Graduate will marry with the bank and the enterprise along all their whole life. Okay, I forgot we need buy a house and you need apply for another loan from the bank. So, we will be married twice.
Like this way, you can understand why Spanish graduates move to others countries to find a true job, while sharks (that are enterprises and banks) wish catch another slave at job fairs. So, I can´t say that is good luck to find a job in a university job fair.
Well, I must sleep a little because tomorrow I am invited in a conference about Renewable Energies in Spain, since 2010 until the future. I tell you something, I guess.
Have a nice day!
