Obada Hijjo has not had an easy time since he arrived in Germany four years ago. Trained as a policeman in Turkey, the 30-year-old Palestinian initially worked for the police in the West Bank. But, when a case he was involved resulted in a threat to his life, he and his wife were forced to leave the country. Now he is stranded...
It’s the same in Canada. That’s why I almost don’t see the point of letting people immigrate if they’re not going to be able to work as anything other than Uber drivers or whatever. It’s not fair that they have degrees that don’t count for anything here. I realize for many refugees life is much improved even just being here but it’s always embarrassing to meet an Uber driver who is an engineer with a masters degree at home, and this is all we’ll let them be.
No I just think we should do better. Like we have so many people without GPs and so many MDs who can’t work because of qualifications? Create a bridge program for them to work here, for example.
I find Firefish adorable for some reason? Like I know nobody who uses it but when I signed up a bunch of random people made sure to greet me. It was very sweet.
What a world we live in... (lemmy.world)
