Whatever your political persuasion, defend your corner here. All we ask is that you voice YOUR opinion, rather than just post a link to a half-hour youtube video. Politics can get a bit lively, and if you prefer a less combative debate, please post in the Politics for Moderates section instead.

I've always managed to put bread on the table AA by working away from family and home for months at a time on projects and in places most sensible people would avoid. I dont need any lessons in how to feed my family.

And you think I do? We have all made sacrifices along the way, yours are no different so why do you think you are special?
This is going way off the OP thread so Jim B why don't we start another thread entitled "what were your career aspirations and where did you end up", could be a thread winner or it could bomb?
If those are the only jobs available then yes …………… we can't all be brain surgeons and rocket scientists?

Well, if I was a brain surgeon or rocket scientist I´d hate to be employed tp pick cucmbers - and be paid accordingly.
Jeba.. You may hate to take a job 'beneath' you, but what would you do for you and your family.
Principles are a good thing to have if you have the money to go with them..
I find your high attitude surprising to say the least..
It has nothing to do with "high attitude". Of course, if I were left with no choice I´d take a lowly paid job as well, even if I hated it. However, I´d prefer a social security system which doesn´t force you take any job. In Germany you´re given between 1 and 3 years (depending on your age and how long you paid into the system) before you´d be forced to accept any job - and I´d prefer such a system. Btw before reunification there was no such time limit at all. That´s one reason why I think Cypriots in favour of reunification should be careful what to wish for.
