Stebro said:Depends on what you mean really, it's better in Denmark for example, if you mean unemployment benefits. But technically the max limit that you can get unemployment benefits is at roughly 3450 us dollars per month, but then you get 80% of that before taxes at max. So basically you could end up at around 1700 us dollars per month at max, unless you have like income insurances and stuff like that.Madferret said:Stebro said:This is actually what I've been told by others the last 3 times it has happend.Madferret said:Stebro said:Well actually im unemployed, so I do need a job. It's just that I felt that I had to say no, since I'm overqualified, and I've taken lots of jobs before that I've been overqualified for, but it's become a problem for me. I can't use my education, and they're always asking me on interviews why I've worked in so many roles that I'm overqualified for. It was tough, but felt like the right thing to do.Zee said:Stebro said:I did something today that I haven't done before. I said no to an interview for a job. I would have received a pay raise and a steady job, still I said no
That has to be a good feeling knowing you don't need it.
Couldn't you just have taken the job until something you are qualified for presented itself?
1. Why did you stay such a short time?
2. Why did you take the job if you have the education?
And that always becomes a problem for me. Another thing is also, that for everytime I take one of those jobs it means that I can't work with what I was educated for, and it has happend several times, and I am forgetting a lot of the things from the education, since I can't work with it. And at the moment it feels as if, I can't keep on doing something that I know wont be for long term, I've done it so many times in a row now.
Is it safe to assume that Sweden's social assistance programs are wealthier / better than Canada's? Actually...isn't Sweden a socialist country?
Sweden is considered as a socialist country by a lot, probably due to the fact that the Social democrats have ruled the country for a very long time. However the right are in their 2nd period now, and the Social democrats have big internal issues right now, so they've dropped a lot.
Oh ok.
