My girlfriend is starting a new job

[Exploited]

My girlfriend is almost a Bachelor of Biology (only the final test remains)... She wanted to start a job connected with biology - botanics or algae preferred, but any other science job is welcome. I admire her decision.

Sadly in Bulgaria such jobs are extremely rare. You can be a salesman, IT or taxi driver with no problems, but if you want to do science - you are doomed. So she was - after months of searching she finally found a good government job related with microbiology. Everything is perfect - the job is not very dynamic, upgrade of university degrees is welcome, it is near the place where we live... so everything is perfect except one thing - the salary. I don't know if you people will believe in what I will say, but her salary is going to be only $215 (140 EURO) per month. For comparison as a sales of books she was able to get around 300-350 EURO per month before. When I was a level 1 technical support IT person I was getting 500 euro and as team leader - 600 euro...

It is an extremely sad that my country is trying to destroy the smart people. Such salaries are insulting for the people with education. How can a scientist with prestige, responsible, hard and important job can get times less than a person selling books on the market with no education at all... I can't believe that I am still living in this country.

1000gbp is not enough.
I know a waiter who earn 6000gbp:) that's amazing.
I didn't wanted to be an engineer I am not stupid. I will be a waiter:)

I am talking about money that they give you in order to just study with them. That's not a job - that's continuation of education (in Bulgaria we PAY for that)...

So so so sad to be in BG
