In class, we were talking about the students’ goals (in preparation for the oral exam.)
“My dream is to find a job in Spain after I graduate,” one student said.
“That’s a great goal,” I responded. “But you do know that there is a 30% unemployment rate in Spain, right?”
“Oh,” the student was very taken aback. “So what do those unemployed people do?”
“Well, they have to make do on social security.”
“I had no idea,” the student said.
I hope this persuades at least some of them to start following the news. Students often tell me that they want to look for work in Spain, and their number hasn’t diminished since 2008-9. It actually has grown.
