Name's George. Not much of use for doxxing, half the guys in greece are called George.
I've studied physics (bachelor's) and electronics/telecomms/software/hardware/dsp/analog/digital/cmos/etcetcetc (master's).
I do not have a job and, believe me, not from lack of effort.
I dabble in many, many things...
gaming: favorite all time games: stalker (10K+ hours), descent, borderlands (1500+ hours), terraria, minecraft, need for speed, live for speed, don't starve...
music: mostly metal but also electronic, classical, etc
hobbies: electric guitar, musical composition, quadcopter design (trying to create stabilization algorithms now), hifi design (i make my own speakers, trying to make amplifiers now), digital circuits (from arduino to fpgas... i seriously suck at analog), coding (mostly c), calculator programming (my username is the name of my favorite device in the whole world, which i consider absolutely perfect and i could talk about for days)
There's more, of course, but for a start i think this is more than enough.
edit: anyone who fancies discussing about any of the above or suspects that i might be interested in something that i have not listed, do speak up!

Nice to have you here! I'm new as well. Serious question: is the economic situation in Greece as bad as I see on news sites?

It's... difficult to say. It is worse than they say on the news, but it's not for the same reasons nor the same situation.
I won't starve for example, my family has more than enough money for me to feed off of without putting a dent in their savings... but i can't find a job, which has made me depressed. I am meeting up with a psychiatrist tomorrow. I've gone off the rails. Completely.
My grandfather In the 50s-60s, whose wife was an at-stay-home wife, and with hardly high-school completed (he couldn't spell "bread" correctly, in greek, his own language), had the only store in a village with a population measuring in the low hundreds. He managed to put two girls through school. Economic hardships, ok, but he did manage it. I have a master's degree in the most popular area... yet I can't find a job. Sure, i am not the best candidate, i might not even be good but for fuck's sake I know shit.

That's really rough man, and I absolutely wish you the best of luck. I hope your therapy helps as well.
