What would you do if you were 23 and Greek?

I think there are some very serious people in WSO that can offer their view on the matter. With Greek youth unemployment at an all time high and a very grim future ahead, what would be your advice to a young educated person?

To put things into perspective, I am Greek with a good university degree and a job with good prospects. However, I see many people my age that struggle to find employment and are somewhat depressed by the whole situation.

I'm looking for fresh perspectives and ideas for what the best course of action is. I would be glad to answer any questions you might have.

 

Become a Gigolo to either a skinny cougar or a female MD or Director/VP at a large generic company. They are never home and will let you take the Mercedes for a spin.

In all seriousness, I would recommend that you move to a European country with better prospects. My parents moved west from a not so cool country and life has improved dramatically. Join a global firm and move, internally, to an office abroad.
