[QUOTE 4624982, member: 21629"]Easy to say "don't be daft". I had a perfect chance to change my life and what I've done? I wasted that chance. I had a chance to become a GP, a surgeon or any other medical specialist. For free. Years go by and I understand more and more clear what terrible mistake I've done. I was able to be a respectable specialist instead of being a zero and being treated as a zero.
I am daft ![/QUOTE]
You might have made some poor choices in the past and, with the luxury of hindsight, many others will have done the same. Remember that you never have been or ever will be, to quote your words, a zero. You are far more than that. Be positive, you got this far and at some point things will go your way.

[QUOTE 4624920, member: 21629"]I was actually surprised that people with such skills and education and experience are trying to get such a crap job.
I also have got a huge complex that I have got no education at all and when I heard them telling their degrees ... I wanted to become invisible. Or disappear from my chair.[/QUOTE]
We don't make chairs like that. Although we have had made chair and the person sat in it disappear & reappear elsewhere.

You seem to be measuring yourself against other people which is pointless. Someone once put it to me that everyone has their own book with their own story. A person on chapter 15 of their book would appear to have a much more developed story to you when you are just on chapter 2 of yours. Don't worry about their book, yours is the only one you can write. Also, if you are not happy with the way your book is going you can put it down and start a new book, the only rule is that you have to start at chapter one again.
If you are at chapter one today, then think of the things you can do in the chapters yet to come. Don't hang on to your old book, your new book will have a much better plot.

[QUOTE 4624868, member: 21629"]Came back from basic training and assessment for work today. It was me and 3 men.
Russian - 2 masters degrees in IT and business in universities in Russia.
Romanian - masters degree in IT in Romania. Worked for international companies, often business travels to USA (though his English is a bit poor).
Another Romanian - studying IT in Canterbury.
Me - nothing.
And we all applying for work with recruitment agency for minimum wages.[/QUOTE]
As you say, all applying for the same work. So where did their qualifications get them?
Many employers prefer a person who can actually do the work, rather than hold up a piece of paper that says they can, in theory.
