Im from Spain, but grew up in the US, and ive been living in Spain for the past 9 years. I have a bachelors degree and an IT degree, and i havent even had an interview the entire time i've been here, i applied to thousands of jobs and my relatives are shocked when i tell them that. Nepotism is also very prevalent here too so it doesnt help qualified people to find a job either since a lot of times unqualified people are filling jobs and leaving qualified people out of the workforce, or seeking employment in other countries. With that said, i am heavily persued for employment in the US and accepted a 6 figure job, im leaving in a few weeks. Spain is losing talent, talent that can improve Spain become a more powerful country. They have so many issues i dont see Spain improving at all in the next several decades. Its a good country for people who are retired, but not for ambitious and highly talented people.

If you can't find a job with your degree that means that you aren't qualified enough for the market, or your skills are just too commonplace. It's very simple maths: a job market has a limited capacity to absorb graduates. For instance, if an area needs 100 engineers, but the job market offers 150, then that means that in the end 50 engineering graduates will end up jobless no matter how qualified, competent, hard-working... they are! This is pure simple maths! So learn something else that will give you a serious edge, or just pursue a different career and move into a different sector., or move elsewhere, where your skills are needed and valued more..

Remember post war people had no qualifications, just walked into a job and started learning. Nowadays, you need university level, a good resume, some related job experience, then you go through extensive recruitment processes including a written test, a verbal test, personal behaviour test, an interview, and a second interview in some cases just to get a minimum wage job.

I have a college degree- I have a job but here in America I can't afford to pay the rent. The average rent in Boston Massachusetts in Oct 2023 is $2,300 usd for a 1 bedroom apartment. This is going to give you an apartment in an older home or building. In a middle to lower class neighborhood.. possibly a bit run down with no utilities included. - if you are purchasing oil heat this winter- you will pay between $900- $1,200 a month to stay warm for 1 month- it's expected to go up this winter. Depending on what town you live in and if you are not sharing that one bedroom with anybody else you can expect to pay $300 -$500 usd a month for electricity -and that's if you are very careful with shutting lights off. This too is expected to increase drastically this winter. If you own a car that is going to be a big expense here in Massachusetts. Gas for your car in Massachusetts October 2023 is going to cost you between $4.00 and $6.00 a gallon. To fill your tank up with a regular small sedan will cost between $60 and $90 for a full tank of gas. I do live in my car and my insurance is $300 a month and my car is a 2006 Volvo with very high mileage. I haven't even discussed food yet. One gallon of milk is between $3.69 and $5 a gallon. It's probably more than that I haven't had milk in 3 years. I can't afford meat either- a small steak could run you about $20 and that's for not a very great cut . I eat a lot of fresh vegetables because I'm trying to stay healthy -I pay $600 a month for my health insurance. If you are a low skill worker and making minimum wage in Massachusetts you will be paid $15.00 an hour -taxes on that hourly wage are typically 24% on every dollar. -. Massachusetts residents spend a straight 5% tax on every dollar for everything except groceries. A pack of Marlboro cigarettes are $13.00. When you file for your income tax at the end of the year they automatically take 5% again from you. If you were paying your federal and state taxes together it goes up to 7% per dollar. If you do not own your own home and you are a renter you can expect to pay an additional $6.25 per hundred on top of what you are paying for your rent. When I used to own a home in a middle-class neighborhood- my home was worth $250,000 but my taxes was $7,000 a year -just for owning a home. Your housing taxes go up every year whether you own or rent. You can own your own home and it could be completely paid off but you were still going to be losing yearly taxes. I have a college education my paycheck varies because I'm self-employed I am paid between 25 and $35 an hour for what I do but after taxes and all the other expenses I still cannot afford to pay for a one-bedroom apartment and have anything left over. If you have any questions about this Joe Biden Administration and how he is literally killing people here in America- please feel free to reach out to me and we can talk **** I am planning on leaving the only home I have ever known. But first I'm saving everything. My dollar will go father down south than here. P.S. I have absolutely no debt or credit cards. I have perfect credit. I pay cash for EVERYTHING and I take care of what I have. I find it criminal that people get charged between 25%-31% on every dollar they use when making a purchase with a credit card. That's about $0.25:on every dollar.

For example, I have a friends who have masters degrees, but are working as bar tenders and in call centres, some are unemployed and take the decision to continue in education. The reason, when they apply for the jobs they want 500+ people are applying for the same job. On the other hand, I have friends who left school at 16 and got an apprenticeship in a traditional trade, joiner, plumber, electrician. Those friends are now running their own business, making a fortune, absolutely inondated with work because the demand is so high due to the lack of people skilled in those trades. They are also struggling to employ people in order to help them further expand their business.

Then there's all the money printing that has been going on for years now, creating a level of government debt that is likely to be damaging for our economic prospects for years to come. Finally, many young people would be better off becoming a qualified tradesperson, learning on the job and being paid for doing so, rather than attending university and racking up a considerable amount of debt with no guarantee that they will get a job in their chosen field, with a few notable exceptions, such as STEM related fields, law, and accountancy.

The woman sitting and begging for alms appears to be Romanian. There are many foreign organizations here that engage in this, even using children and pregnant women. At the end of the day, they raise more money than any of us working. In fact, they look well-groomed, well-fed, and clean, etc. In Tenerife ( Canary Islands- Spain ), we have a quite serious issue with homeless people, especially because they come from other countries where it's more challenging for them to make a living by begging, performing as street artists, or asking for leftover food in supermarkets. Homelessness is another serious issue, but mainly due to uncontrolled immigration. Some order needs to be established; opening borders recklessly leads to these kinds of consequences that force the native population to emigrate to other countries because they are not valued in our own or because life becomes unpleasant amidst so many different cultures that do not respect your own or the country they have immigrated to. It's a situation that will undoubtedly worsen!

I am Spanish and I am not saying that there are not some cases with university studies who live on the street, but it is an exception. It is true that many Spanish higher education graduates hold jobs well below their academic level, but this is due to imbalances between the university and the labor market. Today, vocational training is being promoted; upon finishing high school, instead of going to university, a two-year theoretical technical training is offered, with studies without unemployment and with higher salaries than those that sometimes, at least at the beginning, It is offered to university graduates. The homeless problem in Spain is more linked, as far as Spaniards are concerned, to mental problems and drug addiction than to economic problems. One of the big problems of social assistance is that the homeless do not accept to live in shelters and residences. The problem of homelessness among irregular immigrants is also emerging.

A dictator yes......But at his death in 1975 Spain was the 8th industrial power in the World, unemployment was minimal, 68% middle class, the Nation was united, no filth from Africa or Muslim lands were allowed to roam the streets robbing, raping and killing, the ones allowed were allowed on temporary work permit and in September they went back home to Africa with money, we were not in NATO, or the European Union, we were neutral and lived way, way, way better that this poor souls now. The death of Francisco Franco was the beginning of the end for the so called "democratic" new Spain. proud to have lived in his shadow and serve in the army of Spain. Greetings from Canada.

These OVER-EDUCATED homeless people in SPAIN could EASILY work in the Agriculture/FARMING business in Spain: The farms in Spain have OPEN-ARMS in hiring people. At the very minimum, when you are located at a farm -- then you can have plenty of access towards FOOD. Meaning: NO ONE gets hungry when living on the farm, when you can GROW your own foods. Plus, these days, there are many ONLINE-JOBS that people can do via the Internet: Spaniards in Spain can easily make money from clients who are located outside SPAIN, for example. YES, life at the farm can potentially be HARSH / DIFFICULT; however, you can still EAT something (instead of asking for FREE HANDOUTS from others, or just be BEGGARS). As mentioned before: Many of these over-educated people can still TEACH ONLINE, or do WORK online (remote work type of jobs via the Internet). Another option is to WORK OVERSEAS by selling your skills and talents to those willing to pay for your services.

You could buy yourself a house in Italy for a Euro and work on improving it just like a Buddhist monk. however, they don't live in isolation. they're a community.

This is probably one of the worst documentaries I've watched on youtube. First of all, Barcelona is not the first spanish city in terms of economics. Madrid surpassed Barcelona a some time ago due to its stupid and delusional local policies, specially perpetrated by its last mayoress Ada Colau. The decline of the city is very evident when you actually compare it with Madrid. Despite Madrid being the capital city of Spain, Barcelona was always the cultural, intellectual and economic hub of Spain, but that is not the case anymore. As for the idea of Barcelona being a city full of intelligent and educated people who ended up being homeless, that is nothing but bullshit. I don't know what was the personal situation of the guy in the video (I didn't finish watching the video, it's just too bad). There was a homeless guy who started a youtube channel and became relatively famous, talking about life in the streets. He eventually managed to scape from the streets thanks to his youtube channel. During an interview he was asked what was the common trait of people living in the streets. He answered without hesitating: They are all alcoholics or have other addictions. Besides that if you walk through the streets of Barcelona you realize that most of them are inmigrants. When you live in your country, even if you suffer from such problems you usually have a family to support you. Spanish society might have a lot of problems and drawbacks, but at least we still preserve very strong familiar bonds.

Degrees without job can mean two thing low economic growth or bad educational plan.Germany for example direct students to the fields that have opening in them so when they get out of school they can directly find a job. In Turkey for example this is nonexistent and wage gap between gaps is too much so people tend to overeducate themselves so despite having lots of openings in some sectors there are tons of youth unemployment. The thing is some of the sectors are insanely good paying which is why directing students and vocational schools are important

Yes, Germany has a good government "directed" education/training policy similar to Singapore. The bureaucrats in Singapore do a good job of "matching" current and future labor demand across the board. They get the universities to offer degrees or at least have classes targeting these fields. And they will bring in very well qualifield professors from abroad to teach these classes. Of course there is no guarantee of a life time employment in these fields because a lot can and will change. The universities and secondary schools often have information sessions for the students and parents to help them make the best choices.

germany currently has a severe shortage of skilled workers. The problem is well described by the term itself: people must have useful skills, and they must be willing to work (hard). That combination is very rare nowadays. Combine this with a generous welfare system, and you're doomed.

A college degree cannot guarantee a well paying job or even a job itself. It all depends on what the job market is looking for currently. The other option is to be self employed and seek clients that will pay for your skills.

Blame yourself if you fail. Education does not always make any educated rich. It is not what education purposed. It makes you disciplined and know how to think and ask questions. If you want to make it, study what the market needs. Your personal interests do not always match the markets. I worked hard while going to school at night, and no one paid for me. My degree makes no money, and I know it at the beginning. I dropped a Ph.D. after one semester. It was a wasted time. I am making money on R.E., and am retired at 42, but return to school for curiosity. I am still going to school w/o stopping learning. My budget starts with $100 in the US. I am not rich but not poor. Money and fame mean nothing. It is just a drama. Today, I am comfortable and travel the world. Build ASSET that can make money for life, not savings, luxury, and risky investments. I have no time to take risks. Time is everything. Everything is empty. Why waste time chasing women and money? All the best.

When people don't have compassion for people already homeless, the condition also reaches those who didn't care. His education doesn't change the fact that he is homeless, and now "the least of them". Education didn't save him, and doesn't count for many people who thought they would be above this condition.

Problem with degrees is that it makes you believe you shouldn't get your nails dirty. If you can't find work as a English Literature major in a Spanish country, learn to do plumbing, electricity, etc. During the depression in US the ones that suffered most were those who didn't know any trade. In Spanish countries laborers are view as lesser humans.

Not everyone is good at networking or interviewing! Even with a degree it can be difficult to score a good job. Governments should require corporations to hire college and higher education graduates before anyone else into good paying jobs. If they fail at the job, then fire them but they shouldn’t have to compete so much with the thousands of other applicants.

As unfortunate as the homeless problem is in Spain, its actually become quite common here in the US. I only have a HS diploma and some college, but no degree, and today I own my home on nearly 2 acres of land. I retired early last year at the age of 59 in January 2022, and I'm currently 61. I have no mortgage or rent to pay, or a car payment. I have no credit card debt. My monthly expenses are less than $900 per month. My monthly pay per month in retirement is $5,764 and $69,168 annually. I'm also a service connected military veteran and I worked in corporate America for more than 30 years. Statistically, I should be a drunk on the streets, but my life is just the opposite. Homelessness usually occurs unknowingly, not intentionally. I've never smoked cigarettes or marijuana, nor have I ever drank alcohol or used any drugs. So, a person's lifestyle makes a huge difference in their ability to maintain a stable living situation and environment. A person's attitude, personality, habits, and choices play a huge role in their life, overall. It's not only about how educated you are, but it is all about the choices that you make. I'm living proof that you don't necessarily need a college degree to live comfortably in your life. Having basic common sense and the desire to do something better with my life is what has brought me this far as a single man in today's world.

Americans would not be homeless if money was not wasted on so many veterans who mostly faced zero danger, in Kansas, and only contributed to murder like gangbangers. What honorable work was produced for America to pay you $5000 a month plus benefits? Fighting socialism for everyone but yourself? Anyway, have a nice retirement, your two acres are a good choice. Maybe visit some of the countries you helped rob & make amends?
