Face Facts?

As more and more people get qualified in their area of interest, There is for some the realisation that there might not be a job in Ireland for them.

Is it time for people to accept the fact that Ireland can't support an ever increasing young workforce?

Emigration is becoming a focal point for many qualified jobless people in Ireland.

Should the government be doing more to hang on to this work force or it can't simply hold on to them?

Do you think emigration is something to be looked at with opportunity or as a sad way to have to be forced to leave their home country?

I think most people have resigned themselves to the fact that emigration is a real possibility.
I wouldn't think twice about moving away from Ireland and, in fact, even if I could get a job here I'd still probably move countries anyway.
If you've spent your whole life here then emigration should be looked upon as an opportunity. It is a chance to see another part of the world and gain a new perspective on life.

Although if everyone had this view the country would be fucked. If the workforce goes and this baby boom continues there will be no one to pay taxes to fund their education Ah well, not my problem when I'm gone

It wasn't something that ever really occurred to me until last year. Had an OK job, renting a nice place etc, but the two of us were just a bit fed up with everything. Looked at opportunities in the UK, US, Holland, Canada, Aus and NZ, ended up in NZ. It's fantastic, much nicer people, nicer weather, more facilities and things to do, less taxes, better services => better lifestyle. Sure there are problems here too but nowhere near as bad as Ireland.


To anyone thinking of moving: just plan it and do it, move to a real country that actually works and look back and laugh at the utter bombsite Ireland really is. Best thing I ever did was emigrate. Two friends living in the UK say exactly the same.

I just finished college. I'm making an effort to find work, been for a few interviews but hasn't come off for me yet. It's been about 3 months now but I knew there was every chance I would struggle. In the beginning I was only looking for work in my chosen field but have started to cast my net wider now, should have done this from the beginning but I've learned my lesson.

If I can't get work by Christmas I'll more than likely start looking abroad. I've always wanted to do a little travelling so now is a good chance. Really I was looking for work now to save up to go, but I've heard from friends over that the public schools in Korea take on English teachers around the February mark so that's a definite option.

I've never been too much of a homebird and wouldn't have a problem relocating. For me at least the possibility of emigration is just a fact of life and I know plenty people who feel the same. I could go away for a while and return with experience that would help me get work here, that's all good in my eyes.

I do know others who really don't like the idea of leaving, I've talked with a few coming up to the end of college and was surprised at how much some people really don't want to go. It's a pity for people like them, I don't like the idea that friends would be forced into things they really don't want to do but life rarely goes perfect for anybody so you just got to deal with the crap as it comes.

I don't know a whole lot about government and the creation of employment so can't really say what I think they could be doing to better the situation.

I finish collage next summer and plan on moving to England as soon as possible then. Every few weeks I check random job sites and nearly always find two or three jobs in the city I'm planning on moving to. Do the same here and there is nothing. Those job searches are in the areas I'm qualified for, other areas could be the other way around.

Human beings are designed to interpret and understand facial expressions at lightning speed, at large distances and with great accuracy. You can distinguish a friend and whether they are surprised or happy to see you from 150 feet away within a fraction of a second.

Face fact #56: Each face has one nose, but your nose has one face.

everybody has tiny tiny little spiders living in the pores of the skin on their face, they come out at night while you're asleep to mate and generally just loaf about

they eat the sweat and whatever else that is produced but they don't have an anus so they can't ****. their abdomens just keep growing and growing until they die, where they decompose and deposit all their waste on your skin.
