Some smart people like you took the early-warning system in the head ("Save Yourself Before It's Late -- Too Late...") seriously and got moving -- in the right direction; others got themselves more deeper into the dense haze and mirages their governments always wanted them to be in... sadly.
The wake-up alarm is blowing out all eardrums and deep-frying all the brains for many years now, but we still keep believing those who are voted into power to protect us... Sad.

for sure.. i mean see the chaos that followed when Greece, Portugal and Ireland said there was no more money in the accounts.. can you imagine what is going to happen when its France, Germany, Britain ..? And that's where we are heading. I think they should make it extremely easier to open companies for small/young entrepreneurs.. if you ask me, that is the only thing that can soften the fall.... we have thousands of graduates on the job market looking to work, but no jobs for them.
I feel for them.. I was there, i remember about 5-6 years ago, everyone was telling me that I must get a masters degree, or else I won't find a good job.. I and most of people in my situation interpreted that as "get a masters degree and you will for sure get a great job".. uuhh, couldn't be more wrong.
Finally I moved to the Far East where I incorporated a company in Hong Kong, I had to fill in about 2-3 pages of information, pay around 200-300 GBP and 2 weeks later I received my business licence. In France, opening a company takes minimum 6 months... and once you get it running, the government eats up all your profit as "tax".. yeah, way to recover from a global crisis. In Hong Kong I pay 0 tax since its a offshore company, not buying/selling anything from there. For me, this structural/bureaucratic problem in Europe is where the economy is sucking balls...
