About to lose my job... (6)

1 Name: Dragonhand : 2014-09-21 19:44 ID:EkUhvj9t [Del]

After 17 years studding, I got a Master Degree as a Pharmacist. But for what. I'm payed 200 euros above the minimum wage, about 670, very close to what a person can make working at McDonald's I assume. I'm tiered of having so many responsibilities and no reward for it. I love my job, I love healthcare... but working for a similar wage that any one without studies could have in a cloth store or something similar is making me so sad. It's not fair, I chose to study all those years to have a better future... not to be like this. Starting to hate my country, Portugal. The situation is just absurd.

Sorry, had to vent out some way.

Maybe you should find a pharmacist's job someplace else. Or take several.

>>2 "several pharmacist jobs"? Holy shit. Let's just make this guy suicidal.

But I agreeing with the moving away bit, OP. My family & I couldn't find jobs in America, so we left the country. It's a big step, but it's seriously not as hard as people think.
Now, keeping that in mind, you're a tad luckier cuz you're in Europe (loads of smaller countries clustered together). Give it a shot if you can.

I'm living alone in a new town by a year and half by now... doing it again, starting from scratch all over again... I know I have to do it... but it's a little bit hard. Feeling depressed, think it will take some time to sink in.

I can personally suggest Austria. Average wage is about 1800 Euros. I'm sure a pharmacist would earn at least that much there.
Also if you're starting from scratch there's a certain romance to it. You're alone, but you also ready to make new experiences. Your life is ready to be full of new shit! Look forward to it, search for it, make that your motivator.

I once knew a pharmacist who stole drugs from his job and was extremely addicted. ....I wonder what happened to him. Anyways, I would say that if you chose your dream over everything else, stick with it! There's a method to the universe's madness. You'll make it work.
