I heard that the unemployment rate in Greece is insane. Like 40-50% insane. Have you considered moving somewhere else in Europe for a job? The whole lowered boundaries for job seekers was supposed to be one of the major draws of joining the EU.

i'm trying... me and my girlfriend. I'm looking for jobs in ireland, germany, etc, but to go there i need some money up front so it's kinda of a chicken and egg problem.

We're working on it.

Can't you borrow some from the family? If you manage to get a job lined up, I can't imagine that it'll be hard to convince them. Especially since you're already living off their goodwill right now.

You're paying a hefty opportunity cost if you're unemployed while scrambling to get enough cash in pocket. It may be worth borrowing a little more if it lands you a job right now.
