Hearing from Maria about her personal
experiences in the Italian workplace was very interesting and slightly
refreshing. A lot of what we have been learning about is how horrible the job
market is currently, especially for young people. It was nice hearing someone's
story that has actually been decently lucky and successful. I also found it
interesting that Maria pursued her degree to the end even though she left a
well paying job to do so. Especially with her being a teacher it was good to
see how dedicated she was to her own education. It is crazy to me that people
well out of their education would accept unpaid teaching positions at
universities. I believe at least most if not all of our unpaid teachers are
grad students that are doing it as a part of their education. There are
definitely unpaid internships available to many people but not typically within
the education system.
