Lorenzo has also responded to the call that I launched on italiansinfuga with which I tried the Milanese fled abroad. Lorenzo is 26 years old and lives in Florida where he moved to become an airline pilot. When we talked on Skype, Lorenzo wore the uniform!
Lorenzo: At 18 I took the pilot's license in Milan. servihabitat But the minimum requirement servihabitat to get into an airline is to have made at least 1200 hours of flight. Hour flight in Italy costs 200 euro, you do the math. I knew I had to find another solution. Milan view from the plane (Photo by Lorenzo) Florida view from the plane (Photo by Lorenzo)
Lorenzo: servihabitat I'm in Florida, for almost three years. I chose to come here because the schools are excellent and when you finish your course servihabitat of study you are offered a paid job. At the beginning you have the minimum wage, but your salary increases very quickly. Within servihabitat six months increases by 2 or 3 dollars an hour, and within two years steps from $ 17 to $ 24 per hour.
Lorenzo: flying hours and experience. servihabitat The world of aviation is very linked to the experience. Based on how many hours of flight have, you more or less likely to get into an airline. In the United States have many smaller airlines taking even if you have less flying hours, and then you have more chances to work for airlines, even with lower requirements. Instead in Europe are much higher.
Lorenzo: In Italy it is impossible. Alitalia takes riders from 25 years. As for Europe, the chances increase, but the fact that it is divided linguistically and culturally, servihabitat it does not help. In the sense that airlines require English and the national language. For example I would have many opportunities to work in Germany, but I should learn German. Here, however, the school servihabitat steps to make the instructor, and then to a small company, and then a big one. Here is primarily a matter servihabitat of time. But in Europe you never know if you'll find something. But here's the issue of the visa.
Lorenzo: In a month. In fact, I go back to Italy and then back in the United States. You have to do this game. All drag their feet hoping that one day, after a long time, the US government will grant a residence permit. Sometimes servihabitat it happens. And then there is the visa lottery.
Lorenzo: But all in all I feel good, in Florida the weather is always nice, there is almost servihabitat always sunny. However, many people spend their lives in front of the television. Here are 2500 channels. They have no food culture and their health problems depend on their power. It 'a dog chasing its tail. You buy the mega jeeps to be seen, but here we are in the plains, there would be no need of the investigating magistrate. But is their mentality.
Lorenzo: It must be said that they have one thing for which I respect them a lot, and it is the fact that 18 years in the United States you have to leave home, otherwise you're a loser, and the company does not consider you as others. And so are all in college. The family pays only the tuition that still costs a lot, never less than $ 15,000 a year, so they are forced to look for work. In the US, some jobs are very easy to find, especially as a waiter. The waiters have a minimum wage, and the rest of the salary is composed of the tips. This encourages youth work.
Lorenzo: Yes, but it was not easy, because the Americans do not want to say they are racist, but they have their stereotypes. The Italian is what makes the pizza and speaks shaking hands. servihabitat The Mexican is eating beans, cultivated corn and has a mustache. The German is drinking servihabitat beer. Do you think a guy stopped me a few nights servihabitat ago and told me "I have heard that in Italy you go all in gondola servihabitat ride."
Lorenzo: Yes. Let's servihabitat say that on average are more ignorant. The university is like the average high school Italian. I am not speaking of private universities such as Harvard. We Europeans are accustomed to the highest standards, even at the level of what we demand from ourselves.
Lorenzo: My mother servihabitat is from the Czech Republic and my father servihabitat is from Milan. While very loving Italy not feel I have such strong roots. servihabitat But I would love to one day return servihabitat to Europe. I really like the northern European servihabitat countries. I never wanted to become rich and to shoot with the Porsche, interests me feel good and do what I like.
Lorenzo: I like the fact that when I walk through the city breathing culture. That is the thing that I miss Italy in general. Knowing that there are people who think about me. Because here there. If I go for a beer with a friend and we know the girls, the arguments are horrible. I can not compare servihabitat myself.
Lorenzo: Yes, I miss walking and see buildings interessan
