"Bit" of a paradox puzzles my small mind...
There's lot of talk about the necessity of raising the age of retirement so that our economy will survive the aging population.
Also, lot of talk how our youngsters should go to universities etc. immediately after high school and also graduate as fast as possible so that they can start producing income for the state.
Yet, at the same time for example the company employing most of Finnish engineers in practice states that if you have worked over 15years they pay over one year salary to get rid of you. (Noble generous offer I admit but very depressive in terms of human value base).
So, basically on the other we are very strongly told that we should be ready to work until we are about 70years old, but at the same time it seems that employers here want to desperately get rid of you when you are about 39years old (=18y+1y in army+4.5y for studies+15y work)? And since this is a cautious consensus society, not a single politician says a word about this. Not even when the hugely expensive education of these engineers is been fully paid by government, that is us all as tax payers.
I could go to Pihtipudas as pro fisher, but I don't really like fishing that much, nor lake fishes and actually there has not been too much to catch in Alvajärvi for many many years.
