Being young and unwillingly unemployed in Belgium

Crisis is everywhere... Politicians spend their time telling us it's over and that it's going to be ok. Little do they know about it, earning three times or more than the average salary and having most of their expenses paid (office dinners, car + driver,...)

I'm one of those little people, the ones targeted by politicians for being responsible for the crisis: the young unemployed.

We can't find any job (too young so according to bosses we're not reliable, no experience because no one is willing to give us some, except if they take you in without paying you, which is legal by the way), still we should. It's easy for them to say, they're not the ones who'll have to do 4-5 hours by bus everyday just to work for very little money.
-no job safety: all you have is a temporary contract for a part-time job, renewed every Friday for the next week
-little money: you're very lucky when you earn 10€ (untaxed)/hour, no extra (meaning what you get is 6-7 €), when on average at your age and with your diploma you should earn 13-15€ (untaxed)/hour + extras. If you're unlucky, you end up only being proposed "internship without any promises of having a real job after", which means you go to work for free, and when it's not legal anymore, they get you fired because you'll cost them money.

I really hope one day the situation will be better.
Since I can't find a job in my field (quality control), I started (like a lot of people) school again. I'm doing a degree in computer programming, a field where there are jobs to take.
