Is there any way you could move to another EU country where your skills would be employable? Now while Greece is still part of the EU, I mean.
Fortunately, I have double citizenship as my father was italian and my mother is greek. I ahve sent 3 applications for jobs yesterday and 4 more today and will apply for more in the coming days. So, yes, I can get out much easier than a lot of other people.

The referendum will bring a yes vote. The Greeks know what they now have and leaving the Euro moves them into uncharted waters.
Don't be so sure. I am not optimistic for a yes vote. A lot of people are taking it "patriotically" and blaming the EU and troika for all the shit that both a number of greeks and the governments brought. I had written in another post way back when this shit started a number of reasons this happened.
But, the new government of total assholes and idiots, in 5 months they have done nothing, and instead of proposing some much needed reforms in the public sector, cutting paying priests and the church from the national budget, they were hiring back cleaning ladies with their old salary of 3-4 thousand euros, and generally this kind of shit. They have changed tax law at the last moment, so people that had given their tax statements have to do it all over again, etc. etc. No government has done any proper tax reform or similar...
The new government are worse assholes than the last ones. They've lied not just through their teeth like all tje rest but all way down to their assholes. Am I angry? Yes I am totally angry. I am angry because I've always paid taxes and dues, and atm because I am broke I can't even go out for a movie without thinking "will this movie be good and worth it? Or should I download it later?"
