Most of us have studied for years, we went through high school, through college and maybe through grad school. We have studied English so we could reach a level good enough to be able to write long texts in English, maybe we have learned other languages too: French, German, Chinese. We have been abroad to improve a language or to do an internship. Then we work 40 hours a week or more, 'til we are 65-67 when we get retired getting a miserable monthly pay.
But there's another option, you can become a politician work half of the days of the week, get payed reasonably well and if you're lucky and you get to be in the government you get a life-long pay and you can even work again. And the bonus is that you don't even need to have studied that much or know any language!
After knowing all this I feel as if they were laughing at me. Specially now that they're asking the people for efforts and they are still getting the same pay-check or even higher! When people in Spain are getting evicted from their homes because they cannot pay! When lots of youngsters are looking for their first job and they cannot find anything! When hospitals have to close some sections because of health budget cuts! And I know that even after college, after a MSc, after all these years studying English I'll never make as much as they do just for sitting on a chair and messing around with the country, because it's all they do, but that's something that I rather explain another day.
