CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 @Roquila,@CeleryFC, you're not alone guys. The issue is more or less global. I've been unemployed for 7 months.....and I have a masters degree in engineering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeboii 1,844 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 There jobs in north korea? I'm not from North Korea lol, if that wasn't obvious.However, I would think there are jobs in North Korea. Even the North Korean goverment needs to function properly, and without jobs that would be impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully your degree will open a few doors for you.I'm studying MBE(Managment, bussines and economics). It won't do shit to be honest i am gonna finnish this damn uni and head straight to Germany. Weird enough, i am a German citizen but still live in this shithole. @Roquila,@CeleryFC, you're not alone guys. The issue is more or less global.

lucio 5,418 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Ditto. I've been interviewing for more than a month now. Applied for upwards of 100 jobs. Vowed to break out of the bar industry, but its starting to feel like it's the only place that will have me.If I wasn't for the fact I'm stuck dealing with hospital appointments with no foreseeable end for the time being I'd probably move away from this soul-destroying city.Southampton is soul destroying?

How does someone with a master's degree not have connections? Surely you would have kiss the brass ring of the faculty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Tbh most of the jobs I've ever got are from who I know, and not what I know... I think that is fairly normal for students and undergraduates, the problem starts when people technical knowledge and university degrees are needed and are hired based on connection over competence. That is a serious problem of efficiency.How does someone with a master's degree not have connections? Surely you would have kiss the brass ring of the faculty?Connections in Lebanon are political which really means sectarian. Basically I have to have connections inside the political party of my sect which I don't and refuse to have, anyway. Lebanon is very effectively designed to keep sect leaders in power and in control of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,317 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Awful. My mom had a stroke at 54 years old. The doctor says there's a good chance she'll be back to normal but not without months and months of therapy. Worst day of my life.Sorry to hear that Kieran. On the positive she has age on her side so recovery time is better than someone in their 60s or 70s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a serious problem of efficiency.True, although even when I was doing Mechanical Design at university it was only through the connection of a family friend that I was offered a job (on condition of graduation) in San Diego. I ended up dropping out before completing my degree though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 @Roquila,@CeleryFC, you're not alone guys. The issue is more or less global. I've been unemployed for 7 months.....and I have a masters degree in engineering!Thats fucking shocking mate. Here in the US, a degree in engineering, let a lone a masters and your looking at $60,000/$70,000 easy. No joke. (The better the college can even be $80k./)Idk if you'd ever leave your homecountry, but damn it, thats just so horrible to hear. Money isn't everything, but getting a masters should reap some financial benefit, idc what the circumstances are. Especially in engineering when you've got regular graduates making that type of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in engineering when you've got regular graduates making that type of money. Tbf, it's a masters of science in engineering which would be more or less equivalent to a bachelor in engineering in the US. It is frustrating but there is nothing you can do about it. Immigrating is not much of an option for me except for Africa, maybe. Near impossible to US, Europe or other Arab countries under the current political climate.

CeleryFC 373 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Southampton is soul destroying? I'm living there for the next 3 yearsHonestly the few good things about Southampton are it only takes 20 minutes to walk from one end of town to the other. And the sirens from Marchwood have the novelty of making you feel like you're in Silent Hill.Otherwise its a crime-ridden, over-expensive cesspit with an awful nightlife and next to nothing to do.

Would be a great review on Tripadvisor or Tourist information. Used to enjoy trips to The Dell, but then thats different from living there.
