Deficiency of Opportunities

I made my time worthwhile by reading different blogs and articles about jobs and opportunities of different kinds of people. I understood, indeed, that everyone is craving for a job that can enhance their skills, the profession that they've been studying for 4 years or 5 years or even for 10 years.

I learned that there are rivalries between schools, experiences and status. But one horrid thing that I have well-read is about the lacking of opportunities for young people, young graduates, and young strugglers worldwide.

The blog of The Editorialiste which is entitled Diary Of An Unemployed Young Journalist: An Open Letter To Entry-Level Journalism Jobs Everywhere tells that looking for jobs are hard, too hard even if he got a bachelor’s degree in journalism and even got himself a master’s degree in that field, but still couldn’t get a job. He had been a freelance writer and got himself $400 check twice a month. It’s undependable, with his status at a socially capable people in New York, $400 check is no good for him. He challenged himself in everything, made more than what he did, learned new things for a new skill, but still can’t find one. Every time he searched for jobs overqualified for his skills, the only open are for “senior editor” or “deputy page editor.”

Knee-shaking isn’t it? If a good and overqualified person cant apply for a job, how much more for people who haven’t had finished his degree? How much more for people like me, who have had a little skill and had stopped studying?

I for one will belong to the people that’ll suffer in poverty, lack of wealth for myself, and a burden to the government. It is not my choice to belong with them, never my will to be one of the burdens of the government. If only there are lots of jobs and opportunities available for someone like me, I won’t bother myself of being a burden to everyone.

Everyone is hard working if they love their job. Everyone can do better or even excellent if they are inspired to do things that made them inspired. Everyone can, if opportunities are like falling leaves that’s waiting to be picked.
