Economic crisis and its different patterns: let's talk about our personal experiences

I'm an italian "youngster": yes, I put youngester in brackets, and the reason is that I'm not supposed to be a youngester at all, or, at least I would be not a youngester in every other country in the world but in Italy.

I've graduated in a five years long course (which is theoretically one of the most "spendable" ), but now I find myself stucked in cycles of internships which usually lead to nothing. 

But how the internships work in my country? Aren't them supposed to be just a way to teach a job to a youngster ? no! not here: companies hire youngsters, who are paied a pittance (indeed we are not talking about a real salaries but just of an expanses refund of 500 Euros) and use them for every kind of basic activity. At the end of the intership contract, the companies usually just forget about the stagist and hire someone else. And there is nothing better than this a graduated youngster can do here in Italy. No way to find a proper job; no economical stability to buil a family.
