Language exchange with Anthony officially started today. well I was very tensed due to the fact that he was listening to me very carefully however today's class was actually about how we are going to do. We besides talked about car that I'm interested in and how the government of Korea is going to protect Korean domestic car market. Eventually, they are no longer able to put a lot of tax on imported cars such as Toyota, BMW and GM since Korea made a deal, FTA.
After dinner, I got noticed that my friend, Mr. Smoke got failed of applying for a company. It wasn't first time, happening. As I did get failed from more than eighty companies to apply for, the number that he got failed are almost same as mine. But this occasion wasn't somewhat different. HJ Metal was where he tried to work for and this company isn't really famous company since it's not middle big company but also it's located in undeveloped area to live in. I really thought he would make it this time and he had to make it this time as he was desperated to get a job and he has been suffering from money problem he used for school loan. But he didn't even have a chance for interview. When the company screened his resume, my friend, he wasn't out of their interest. Too much job seekers out there in Korea, studying a lot, eagering to get jobs and so many companies now are just happy to pick some pure intelligent, well educated and qualified people to hire? What's going on in Korea???? What's happening in Korea may help Korea developed in economic view later as it ends up all companies in Korea are packed by such a smarters. But in different point of view, we are wasting young's passion and desires which mean many people have unproductive life, just studying, not having a chance to put out what they study out their brain. This is really bad and sad to see. People say my ages are kind of victims since we were born in early 1980 when Korea promoted baby boom. It sounds reasonable. But we seriously need solution to sort out this huge national problem. Returning back, Mr. Smoke looked really depressed. I took him at the bench and gave him a piece of cigarets and a coffee. "There must be a company, aware of your vision, passion and they will hire you soon" I said. he said thanks.

Well.. my schedule for this weekend almost set up and there's not going to have time for fun possibly. hope to have some hours for some cold beers :) If, not that would ok with me.

I've heard about how hard it can be for some people to get a job. Very competitive, and some companies can discriminate. I hope your friend gets a job soon.
When I finished studying at university, I didn't have much luck finding a job, but I was able to do do other work, but when I did get a job that I wanted, it was in a really bad place. But, I needed a job, so had no choice. Need money to survive.
Thanks,Andy.
And yes, we need money to suvive. But I'd like to say we need money to get better life :)which means same as what you said but it's a little bit different view to see :)
No offense! :) Weekend is right here I hope you enjoy this weekend!
Well, sure, I can understand people needing money to make a better life. But, i think that is the difference between you and me. When I get comfortable in my life, I don't need more money. But, I see many Koreans always trying to make more money, and not relaxing and enjoying life.
No, I'm not chasing money always.
Money isn't my first factor I consider, you know my moto is "Life it too short to enjoy!" :)
