As far as starting a new bussiness in Europe It is a bad place to start. Everthing is basically locked up by old royal money. They won't let anything new start up unless it gets the "blessing" Her best chances are in South America or the US. Working as a specialist contractor. I really feel bad for people who chose a career path with no positive outcome. I haven't been working for anyone for the last 7+ years. I am still sticking to the market and trading because I don't trust the corperate office nonsense and backstabing that goes on in the workplace. I hope that woman finds something. There will a larger and larger unemployed labor pool in both the US and Europe. If someone in power had half a head they would start a public works project on a grand scale. Akuma
What you say is true for big money, like starting a tarding corporation, telecom business, etc. Not for a small business like a restaurant for example.
One of the better things about this site is how one-sided (and wrong) people are. Things are not that bad.
In todays WSJ H.Mansfield describes the poor choices made by students in selecting a major. The bad choices are made "because they are attractive and easy" he says. The humanities lke sociology,politcal science (mine also), philosophy worked fine in my era when a degree was an entrance to most jobs. But it didn't take long for me realize that they were of limited value and mostly bull sh#t. I then knew a marketable skill was needed and my liberal arts education wasn't the ticket. I was interested in home building and got into construction(my grandfathers work)and want on to learn design, architecture, surveying, and where every nail and dollar went into building a house. Over years I attained the success i was looking for and my wife and children shared in it. The road taken had a fork and I got lucky with the timing and the times. A naive choice was corrected with common sense cheers john
you never operated a successful restaurant. convertibility- "One of the better things about this site is how one-sided (and wrong) people are. Things are not that bad." you must know a lot of civil servants or highly successful individuals. a 9% unemployment ate which does not include those who have given up looking for work is terrible. the US is basically broke because of the budget deficit. California has to release prisoners because of inhumane conditions. the education system produces illiterates with $100,000/ yr. baby sitters ie teachers in the major cities check the $US vs. the $C or against the Brazilian Real, America is getting poorer by the day. It cannot pacify Afghanistan or Libya or even Iraq for that matter. a repeat of the meltdown of 2008-2008 with the same players is a possibility. the monetary based tripled in recent years which raises the possibility of runaway inflation. "things are not that bad" you must be mr. polyanna.
