Youth employment
By bucuresti on Wednesday, October 10 2007, 16:23
We are being told that the more we study now, the more comfortable we’ll live later. We are being told to invest in our career. To participate at courses, trainings, internships, all kind of activities that can put you in competition with others like you. But nothing guaranties that once the university graduated we’ll obtain a well paid job, or we’ll manage to build a successful career, or even that we’ll work in the same field as the one we studied for. But also we don’t have to accept anything that comes in second hand. If you did study a lot, think about what you have learned and what you can use it for. Maybe somewhere in the future, it will be us the ones who rise the statistics for studies abroad, or the high quoted jobs!

NOT IN MY BACK YARD
By bucuresti on Thursday, September 13 2007, 14:57
This seems to be the expression that guided the British in their struggle against the undesired constructions situated close to their home. Shouted or not, this motto proves the interest of the Albion’s inhabitants towards the preservation of the green spaces.
