I do not know what topic it falls into, I want to share my observations. I am 23 years old, I studied higher and now I am doing an internship in the field of my specialty. Since it is not such an easy specialty, I have to wait another 2 years to be able to fully dedicate myself to my profession. That's why I started working in an office, apart from the internship, it doesn't matter what, my salary is quite good. I get a net salary of BGN 2,400, I work 8 hours a day, 5 times a week. I am quite happy with the salary, because I know that this is a temporary solution for the next 1-2 years, before I start doing the rest. Yes, but in the office where I work, I am one of the youngest. My other colleagues are 28-35. I think, is this the life of a person, to go to work behind a desk all his life, for 8 hours, to get a fixed salary and that's it. I think every day, that such a salary is good if you are alone, but if you have a family one day? How will you look at yourself with this money. As I also know that in these call centers people do not dig to who knows what level and raise wages. I don't know, I'm depressed by monotony and monotony. I talked to a colleague yesterday, this summer he will not go to sea because he had expenses. I want to ask you, what are your goals? Because there are different people here, with different opportunities and views. It may sound mercantile, but I can't imagine a life of BGN 3,000 a month. And not because the money is small, but because it is fixed, as well as your freedom. 8 hours a day tied there. And most people have no other goal, they know that at 30 they will not be realized in anything else and another fixation is that you know that what you do is almost for life. Well, those who are 22-25, what goals do you have. Many of my friends are waitresses and they honestly like it, but it's also up to date. Share how you live with the thought that you will do something for life. And for no money?

What can I tell you, since I have a university degree and I take BGN 600, I work in the specialty. I have two children. Life is monogamous, the same every day. But the money you take is not bad.
I am 26 and my husband and I take as much as your salary. Well, we manage, we even manage to save. We make a home, we pay off a loan. We work light work, we have more leave, we have no problem getting out of work early or being late. Not that we do, but it gives us peace of mind. Accordingly, the money is less. We feel good and by no means would I say that we don't have enough money. We have a goal in which we invest all our strength and resources and we do not have time to think whether we have a lot of money or not. For me, this is a hell of a lot of money, which under normal management can grow quickly. You are quite far from the average Bulgarian family, which looks after 2 children with 1000 leva. And believe me, there are some. And no, it's not impossible. Probably work makes you feel bad, I don't know exactly what you're doing, but that's what it looks like. Find a job when I come home at 6 o'clock in the evening I go to see my yard, flowers, run, walk, watch movies, read books in the evening before going to bed. So much variety, you have 5 hours somewhere in the evening for different activities (if you go to bed at 11). But in order to be able to spend them fully, you don't have to come home from work. In the morning, too, when I get up, I have an hour and something in which I watch something, I can even run a little. And somehow when you diversify before and after work, life is quite colorful and diverse. So you have to compromise. I did - low salary, but my work is close, very relaxing, calm and pleasant atmosphere, comfortable working hours for me. And yes, at the same time they offered me a call center with 2 languages for about 2000 leva. Yes, the money is twice (or more) than the current one, but the journey there would take me 2 hours one way, it is separately loaded and quite tense. You just have to find the golden mean. And to compromise on something.
BGN 3,000 may be a little for a person who grew up with higher standards. I grew up in a family with salaries of BGN 500 each, a total of maybe 1000 from my two parents, and I have a brother and a cat. I will live very peacefully with 3000 leva.
Years ago, I asked myself these questions. And I think most of them set them at that age. This is a very difficult age - the transition from teen to adult and acquaintance with the real reality. At 20 you think that your life will be successful, interesting, fun, you dream, you make plans. At 25, when you start working on these things and you realize that the reality is a little different and not as beautiful as you thought. At 30-35 you realize that you can be happy despite the ugly reality. And at 40 and up I don't know how it is, because I'm not 40 yet. I can write a topic to ask the elderly how it is. That's how most people develop their lives. Work from 8 to 17, at home, cooking, cleaning, shopping, possibly family / children, salary on the 25th and if there is anything left it, possibly a pub on Saturday and Sunday and summer 7 days at sea for "variety", and every 5 years once a repair of the panel house and a new washing machine and a new refrigerator. There is not enough money for more. And even if you earn more, you still have to earn 8 to 5 every day and there is still no time for daily variety (whatever you mean by that). If you have children, not at all. So I do not know what you expect in the interest of life. Except for someone to give you money in cash, and you just spend time for yourself and have no commitments. I also know women who are supported by their rich fathers. Well, their happiness is still up to date, because at some point they realize that they have not achieved anything on their own, they lack a challenge and simply do not feel useful to themselves, let alone to others. Ahu-ihu, but it's up to time, and then if you haven't achieved anything, it's depression again. Or maybe by an interesting life, you mean development - your salary to grow, to achieve new things, challenges, recognition. If you think so, my congratulations. However, this does not always happen to you, no matter how much you want it. Even most times it doesn't work. The result is most often disappointments. Then some kill them on spiritual literature, others on inferiority complex, others on depression, fourth on narcissism and selfies to demonstrate "happiness" and "success", fifth on alcoholism, sixth on prostitution. But to know one thing from me - no matter how cliché it sounds, there is nothing more important than health. Now you have no health problem and fuck you only for career, salary and fun. You think that you will never have a problem or more precisely you do not think at all and take it for granted. But God forbid, if one day you lose his health, you will not give 5 money for anything else and you will say to yourself "once I get well, I don't need money, fun or anything". You will be ready to give everything just for health. Some people call these moments troubles, but these are the moments when one realizes what valuable things are and how grateful we are and how greedy we are. I'm not saying it's just a disease, it could be loneliness, it could be a lot of things. I want to tell you that even if your life is "work-at-home", it is still a success. Because some people dream about it and would give everything, but they only have illnesses, violence at home and other real problems.

Posts and thoughts of this kind determine the "unemployment" in Bulgaria. In fact, there is work, there is no one to work it. What if you have a university degree? I now teach him by looking at his level, so the fear of being caught by a person is what "narrow specialists" we have. From now on, your decent salary and the desk do not suit you otherwise. BGN 2,400 and without a desk in an "extremely dynamic environment" you can take if you go to pick strawberries in England. You are 23 and you already have claims. My ... you will stumble and you will surely fall. I work at a desk, my salary has nothing to do with yours. The environment, the colleagues and the attitude towards me turned my work into a real pleasure. And I don't mind the desk. My husband and I take as much as your salary, we have projects for realization that will not make us millionaires, but they will be useful to us as a side income. But even now we are not deprived of anything - we buy quality food, travel often abroad, spend the summer at sea at least 2 times a year ... we also have a child. We have no loans.
By interesting life I mean development. It scares me to do the same thing my whole life. The fixed salary scares me, the people who have come to terms with it scare me. I seem to be in an existential crisis. Nice answers, thanks.
Well, author, no one is holding you back from doing the same thing - changing jobs with another kind.
You get a good salary in the background, the salaries that are taken en masse. Do you want an interesting life? Do it yourself. Save money, take out a loan, invest in your ideas, be an entrepreneur. These people have a dynamic life that is not on a desk, not with a fixed salary that they give you for X number of days and hours. Up to you.
You have to get in rhythm. At 23 I was the same (without the big salary). I said to myself, is this life? Work - at home, no strength for anything. Years passed, I changed several jobs, I got into a rhythm. Now I don't think so much, the important thing is to have a job and to enjoy doing it, not to be overwhelmed by the situation and the people you are with all day. And money is very important, but it is more important to feel on the spot. And it will happen to you, over time. It's just that you're in a hole right now because of the difference, what you thought it was to be big and what it really is. Give yourself time, change jobs if you don't feel it's yours, and set aside time for yourself - at least an hour a day.
Well, obviously you need more dynamic work and to feel needed and useful.
8, this is normal. It wouldn't be normal if you didn't go through something like that. In the life of every person there are 8 crises at different stages of his life
I will not write an extensive comment. To say that at 23 I felt exactly like that, even worse - I fell into a hole. Now I want to be in my early 20s again so I have no words. Meanwhile, my grandmother died, my parents are almost 10 years older, so am I. Enjoy your time and the chance to try. Your salary is great, as long as it arrives without delay, quarrels and fines.
There is always development when there is a desire. You don't say what your specialty is so we can give you examples. The most important thing is to work according to your vocation, to love what you put energy into, then you are doomed to success. I am a primary school teacher, I am 30 years old. The diploma allows me to work in kindergarten or school up to 4th grade. If I get tired of working, I can do publishing, I can do, for example, an online store for pedagogical materials on the Montessori system, I can make an agency for babysitters with pedagogical education, I can become a resource teacher in an institution, I can find tourist association for children, I can make a private children's center, if I tighten my hat I can go to help in Africa under the Red Cross / UNESCO program. In general, I have chosen a master's degree in child psychology, but I can also go through some IT training. It would be interesting for me to participate in the creation of multimedia content for didactic purposes in Bulgarian, children love to play on tablets so much, why not get educational benefits from the games. In addition, I have been practicing yoga for almost 6 years, if I decide I can enroll in the NSA and make a yoga studio for children, this would also be interesting to me. One day, when I gather enough knowledge and experience from communicating with parents and children, I would like to write a book about early childhood development. Well, one life will not be enough for me to realize all the ideas I have. Sometimes it depresses me that life is short. Will I develop my full potential, will I leave a mark in society, will I really improve at least a little bit the level of education in Bulgaria? Who knows. I try to listen to my heart and go where I feel the strongest enthusiasm and for now I am doing well. This I can advise you, forget the fears and boundaries, they are only in your head. Remember that you are a wonderful being, with boundless potential, allow yourself to hear what your heart really wants. What is this thing, what is the activity in which, by investing your energy, you are actually recharging? I wish you personal satisfaction and success!
Your salary is great for Bulgaria and it can be used to look after children. Such is the life of the elderly! If you want to have free time, become idle, without a job, without children and marijuana.
