Labor insertion: A problem afflicting young people today
Labor insertion is one of the biggest challenges facing young people in Venezuela and I would say in Latin American countries. Currently, institutions and companies that make job offers requesting a minimum quota of employees, these must have experience and/or come referenced from other instances, so what does a young person who is just out of college, unfortunately almost never has the opportunity. That is why most of our young people today venture into other fields such as technology in order to survive, however not all young people who are unemployed have the ability and the necessary tools to swim in that world.
Despite the limited job offers, some of our young people manage to join labor spaces where the salary is not entirely profitable, but it is to see that today's youth want to be independent and achieve development in adulthood, so they are forced to go to any offer that comes their way, even so underestimating in many occasions their academic preparations.
Cases like Marina, a young woman who studied for more than 5 years to be an architect and left the university with only 21 years, had no opportunity in large companies and institutions of architecture that were within her reach to address, only selling apples in a greengrocer was what she managed to get to achieve social maturity and stability, but Marina like many young people after the absence of work in what she graduated, in her passion, in what took her more than 5 years of preparation leads to major emotional complications such as anxiety, frustration and depression.

There is something that we must take into consideration that nowadays working in what we like or what we are passionate about will not always be within our reach, so as a recommendation:
- Get a job that even if it is not the one we wanted it will be the one that will provide us economically for our existence.
- Enjoy the work, and that surrounds you, although we can be selling apples as Marina we must put the best of the faces is an opportunity that presents itself and that in the street there are hundreds of young people who would not mind working in collecting the waste left by the apples.
- Having the best performance makes us move forward; there are young people who want to eat the world and many times they start in a job as a dishwasher in a hotel and end up being the hotel manager, they are overcoming barriers and performance that helps them to be better.
- There are times when pride or shyness does not allow us to move forward and we stagnate and everything goes wrong and we fail to fit into any work space, ask for help is essential for our search, and more if we have at our fingertips friends or family who are working.
- May the spirit of success prevail "youth is the basis of any state, it is the basis of any country".
Well my friends, see you soon.
