Im from Spain, but grew up in the US, and ive been living in Spain for the past 9 years. I have a bachelors degree and an IT degree, and i havent even had an interview the entire time i've been here, i applied to thousands of jobs and my relatives are shocked when i tell them that. Nepotism is also very prevalent here too so it doesnt help qualified people to find a job either since a lot of times unqualified people are filling jobs and leaving qualified people out of the workforce, or seeking employment in other countries. With that said, i am heavily persued for employment in the US and accepted a 6 figure job, im leaving in a few weeks. Spain is losing talent, talent that can improve Spain become a more powerful country. They have so many issues i dont see Spain improving at all in the next several decades. Its a good country for people who are retired, but not for ambitious and highly talented people.

There are millions of people with degrees in our world and cannot find jobs.

My advice: stop studying and learn a trade, like plumber, builder or electrician, and you'll find a job. The problem is that there are too many university graduates for the number of jobs.

doctorates don't lead to jobs, cronyism and corruption does. get a job instead. do not follow your passion and if you do, don't complain about the reward.

It's amazing how many American KZreadrs who praise life in Portugal and Spain as having quality of life. I'm not rich ,so I wouldn't dare move to either one of these countries. I've lived in both countries. I'm too old to be looking for the struggle.

Grew up with Franco. A dictator yes......But at his death in 1975 Spain was the 8th industrial power in the World, unemployment was minimal, 68% middle class, the Nation was united, no filth from Africa or Muslim lands were allowed to roam the streets robbing, raping and killing, the ones allowed were allowed on temporary work permit and in September they went back home to Africa with money, we were not in NATO, or the European Union, we were neutral and lived way, way, way better that this poor souls now. The death of Francisco Franco was the beginning of the end for the so called "democratic" new Spain. proud to have lived in his shadow and serve in the army of Spain. Greetings from Canada.

It's scary facinating because it means everybody is vulnerable to becoming homeless regardless of ypur background. All it takes is a combination of misfortunes

And they keep voting socialist...

The system is rigged

You are not talking to your fellow PhDs

I have some friends who graduated from Oxford and Cambridge. Many just have ordinary jobs and they earned as similar as college graduates. So no need to spend EUR60,000 tuition fee each year, studies happily at your own countries/mid level university are okay.

Remember post war people had no qualifications, just walked into a job and started learning.

Ninis is a term NOT used to refer to the homeless. It is a term used to describe young people up to their 30s that do not study or work nor they wish to get a job

Your corespondent is very loving, compassionate kind and caring. Please keep her around.

So sorry for those whom study hard with a degree but losing job. I always respect people with a degree and also those who are hard working without a degree.

Universities should stop offering useless degrees.

This is happening in other places ! People are becoming homeless for various different reasons, affordable housing shortage in Canada! Rental Rates have doubled in some cases, there are alot of Renovictions, it is a crisis ! It is striking people of all ages. Nobody should be homeless or hungry ! 😔

Homelessness is a worldwide crisis. Anyone can go from riches to rags.

I have a college degree- I have a job but here in America I can't afford to pay the rent. The average rent in Boston Massachusetts in Oct 2023 is $2,300 usd for a 1 bedroom apartment.

I’m very shocked at the number of homeless I’m now seeing here in Paris France. where I live.These are normal looking people of French origin,including a lot of women,some even have regular jobs.This is something we never used to see before,in the old days only drunks,drug addicts or foreign refugees were out on the streets.Very sad and scary.
