At the end of last year, for the first time I found out about the Nigerian scams, because people from Bulgaria were affected by some new wave. I was shocked. 😅 When I was in Belgium, an IT specialist told me that the only thing he knows about Bulgaria is that there is a whole university there that trains hackers and fraudsters. Haha, I couldn't convince him that wasn't true. Such is the bad reputation of the Bulgarians in certain parts of the world. Bulgarians, like Nigerians, are scattered all over the world. And a large part of them really contribute only to the negative image that has been created among people.

Most of the uber drivers are graduates who studied engineering in higher institution.

One of the worst experiences one can have in the nation's capital is taking a taxi. And not only there. But in the capital it seems to be more concentrated. That's why I'm very careful not to have to take a taxi there. And yet, apart from the regular aggressive types, I have come across drivers with two higher educations who once worked as scientists in the academy of sciences - there is the greatest tragedy, where the most brilliant minds take the lowest possible salaries.

Jobs here are given through connections.

I am already convinced that this is a standard everywhere in the world, it just has different dimensions in different countries. Just yesterday I was watching a funny video showing a young girl preparing for her first interview when her mother found out she knew the owner of the company in question. "A job is found with connections in this country (England)," she says, and things took another, completely different turn, as expected. 😄
