    22 KB Emigration in progress-feels bad man Anonymous 02/23/12(Thu)17:29 No.4844477  
    Live in Poland, 32, no job since 3 years. Unemployment since 89 was on average 15%. No real social net in Poland because we adopted hurr durr "glorious USA capitalism" and corporate owned media spreads propaganda that unemployed are "lazy bums".
    I have sent hundreds of CV's, I know English and Germany, studied two majors in Uni. Since three years I had 0 replies.
    My parents sold an apartment and moved to home inherited from our dead grandparents.The money we earned will be for my re-location to UK. I hope to work there for minimum wage if I will have luck(maybe in a factory).

    Feels bad man. And fuck the corporations for engineering this shit so they can restore feudalism.

    One another reason I am emigrating. Living in a sea of primitive rural rednecks who live in cities is depressing as well.

    Why do you all come to the UK? Germany is right next door.

    British unemployment is almost at 10% now, youth unemployment is at 20%.

    A young British person would kill for a minimum wage job in a factory right now.

    Go to Germany.

    Germany offers nothing to me besides minimum wage. The culture is terrible, people are xenophobic and boring at the same time. I would only work and do nothing in free time, while hearing Germans insulting me at work. In UK I can go to SF cons(there is one in 2012), meet RPG players, go to signing of books by authors I like(ok I am bit optimistic as I would probably work my ass off but these are the things I wish I will be able to do in free time in UK). English people in general are more accepting of foreigners, have better culture and the country is nicer.
    In Germany? Its just a work camp, its not a place where you would like to live(I have been in both UK and Germany before)-and as I plan to leave Poland forever, not just move for a job, its important for me that a country will offer something more than just a job.
    Besides I want to start post-graduate studies so that I can get better jobs later. It will be easier for me to do so in UK.

    From what I heard from BOTH English and Polish workers a lot of that is due huge benefits and unwillingness of young people to work for minimum wage.

    When you put it that way I can see why you'd want to come here. I didn't realise Germany was that boring.

    Quite a number of young people here are lazy but youth unemployment has sky-rocketed since 2008, it's a genuine problem. 20% (I actually just heard a figure of 22% on Question Time not thirty minutes ago), you have to wrap your head around a huge figure like that.

    However now that the OP has explained exactly what attracts him to the UK, as opposed to Germany, I can understand why he'd prefer to come here.

    Oh I thought you meant a common procedure in Poland where people start their business with credit and then declare bankruptcy.
    No I wouldn't start my own business because I don't have predisposition for it.

    You're not lazy, it's that your own country don't want to hire anyone because it's more profitable. I say if your country doesn't want to hire you, move to another country.

    Lots of Polish where I live. Lots work at factories, in fish 'n' chip shops, met one working for a bank, met one who didn't speak a single word of English.

    What are your majors, and what were you till '89?

    Most Poles don't want to work in Germany due to climate of hostility and general unattractiveness of the country.
    The job market was opened on May 2011, but so far a marginal number of Poles moved there(despite official unemployment being 13%-real one is probably 20%, our government likes to falsify statistics).Most prefer UK and Netherlands.
    There is a group of Poles working in Germany since years-around 400,000-but they are mostly people from Upper Silesia with German roots.

    Me too but I wanna work without geographical attachment to the workplace, I wanna travel and conduct my job by a distance. That's why I hope to break up a business to 30 years. Also of course it will be feed me by itself, without dependences of employment level.

    My two majors are in humanities :) Yes I am screwed :)
    Till 89 I was a child, neither I nor my parents remember those times as something bad. Truth is, in many aspects life was better, but after 89 there was a lot of political indoctrination to convince people that things were horrible.
    Turns out we had free education, health care, vacations, low unemployment, low crime and less corruption and wage slavery than today.There were shortages in goods sold-I remember that, but it is open to debate how much of that was due to Solidarity strikes and how much due to sustaining SU and large military. Without this, its probable that we could have comfortable lives, even if not at the level of the West.
    Like one worker commented-I am sure glad we overthrew those Russians so I can now beg to to work for 300 euros in German owne factory while paying 200 euros for my apartment room and I can never dream of establishing a family.

    People working there are from Silesia. The ,,Polish" minority there is from Silesia too (before we entered the EU you could settle in a western country by obtaining citizenships; to live in Germany you just had to find an ancestor; a non-Silesian example of a guy who needed it for career: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogdan_Wenta) or some old political dissidents.
