The lost generation of the 90s. Went by "illegal immigrants" to the construction site
We were born in the Union, everything was known in advance, so it seemed to us. A high-quality secondary education was received, and higher education is not a problem, if necessary, you could always finish your studies. At work cultivation of specialists was practiced, and if a person realized that he needed a "tower", then the company will help to get it.
90th
But our plans, to make a fairy tale come true, were not given to come true, the country fell to pieces, and with it the familiar world of society. Capitalism has come, which means time to survive, the market is everything. AND he decided that he needed builders, for the more fortunate, successful privatizers. Did you want to be a cosmobiologist, build bridges, stand behind a machine? Come on, there is a spatula, take it and master it - painter sounds profitable!
New Horizons
And we went to the helpers, in order to grow to a plasterer, bricklayer, painter, because there is demand for this, which means money. Hello, dirty cabins, work for cash without labor, now we work for our uncle, whose name is "master".
Now you can ask, how is it possible, why did you work without work, haven't you thought about your future pension? I will answer, we thought, very hard, about how to survive, many could not! In our understanding, tomorrow was an ephemeral fantasy.
And now
We are far from retirement (which will be minimal), we work by those whom we managed to become, and we try to give children an education, the time is now. The conclusion is that it turned out to be sorry, the main thing is that we are alive and helping children, and they will already build for us planned bridges, and will break gardens on Mars.
