RE: A letter to #thealliance

in #thealliance7 years ago

I'm in the states, and I suppose jobs are available, but that's mostly only low wage jobs. The better, higher paying jobs are disappearing. Hard to get a decent job, even with years of school, and years of experience. Connections go a long way. I'd say it is alot like you describe your country, you really do need to know someone to land a good job. I hope to avoid toiling for another man ever again. I hope to start my own businesses, both online and real life. I'd really love to see even a small income from steemit, that would be awesome! But I don't ever imagine it could be enough. Things are very expensive here. I wish you luck friend! You can certainly make your dreams reality!

That's because the whole system is rigged to support the wealthy. And the elites controlling everything are just putting their people in high positions. In end controlling everything you can imagine.
What kind of business are you looking to start?

You will get there man! Just put in the work.

But I don't ever imagine it could be enough. Things are very expensive here.

I can imagine. In Cro everything is "cheap". Under quatations because it's cheap if you are comming from a country with a higher standart like USA or something, but if you are from Croatia everything is still expensive as our wages are so damn low. Minimum wage is like 350€. And monthly rent for a small appartment is more expensive than that. I can't understand how they think people can survive on so little money when it can barelly get you a small appartment.

I'm looking to get into whatever pays! Haha, but online, I'm trying out blogging, steemit, making how to videos, etc. I started this year's ago, but fizzled out and didn't take it seriously. I don't intend to make that mistake twice. Selling items online is something I'm definitely going to start doing, again. If real life, I am very good with my hands. Automotive, construction, landscaping, and electrical I do very well at. Anyone can, if they put their minds to it. Really, at this point I have no idea what exactly I am going to do going forward. But it is not going to be doing all the work for barley enough of the profit to eat a proper meal, that much I can tell you :) And yes, it is not much different here anymore, many of my friends break their backs at 2 or 3 different jobs just to pay for the apartment to sleep and the car to get to work, with barley any funds left over. Probably going into debt more often than not. It's terrible. Most of them think it's just life and normal. They act as if they are happy with it! Society is sick, this is not natural, it's barbaric.

Min wage in my country is 45€.
