Emma Ruby, maybe if you didn't spend your day using the internet whilst working, they may take you a bit more seriously and different opportunities will arise.

I also consider: The need of the job in the country you are living in - is there a demand for that profession?

Exactly, look at opticians. At one point here in the UK they were very demanded and their salery was very high. 10 years later they are still stood on the same stool. Too many people went to become opticians. It's exactly the same in Cyprus for play school teachers.

I went through private education, one of the most prestigious schools in the UK, then later did 2 years in college, 5 years of uni, in order to do a BSC and an MA. Then found that I was employed with very little reward in terms of money. They all quoted experience. Then when I got the experience I asked twice for a pay rise, and they simply did not budge. I was left on the same sucky salary of 1000 euros per month.

Education is hardly ever linked to money, only in certain jobs like accounting, lawyer, doctor, teacher etc. Most jobs require experience. Some companies reward, but the one I was at was more inclined of hiring students rather than paying qualified people.

Mind you, students cost 900 euros, so I was kind of being paid like a student. :(

Sounds like you're intelligent, creative and thoughtful. Don't waste yourself on someone else. Work for yourself ...
