Ppl that joined university instead to go work (like me) now are unemployed. For this reason I say that if I had been smarter, I would have joined army or I would have gone ork to a factory, instead of go to university. This is Italy, today. Graduated guys have to emigrate, and ignorants are working.

Time to dumb down your resume

Btw, is that you in the avatar?

No Snow, that's not me.
Italian Army became a volunteer army in 2005, with the males born in 1986. But until 2005, in Italy there was the conscription for 10 months for males older than 18. No one wanted to be a soldier, because there were a lot of jobs and economic situation was better. For this reason it was very easy to become a soldier or a policeman: after those 10 months, you had just to put a signature and you'd have been a soldier forever. I didn't do not even those 10 months because I went to university, and if you were a student you could not join the obligatory conscription. Now my soldiers/policeman friends get 1.300/1.400 euro a month and I and many and many other graduated guys are unemployed. I have a lot of friends that got a degree and they get 7-800 euro a month because they had to accept the 1st job they found. The situation is critic here.

Could you please not use my personal life in your posts? Especially when I'm not even taking any part in this conversation?
Thank you

I was just explaining to Snow how it worked conscription in Italy, Dan. I was not refering to you...I don't know your life, I don't want and especially I won't write it here and anywhere else

I was not referring to your post. I should have quoted Snowman's post. Sorry about that.
