Life / Experience more in Poland than any other Country [10]

Hello Everyone. I just found out about Polishforums today and couldn't resist not signing up, its such an interesting website. I've read most every topic with much interest, and thought I might as well make a contribution. I'm 19 from (Perth, Australia) but have polish parents. I just visited Poland a few months ago for the very first time, and all I can say is WOW! Its such an awesome country, so lively, and full of culture. I experienced more in one month in Poland than in 19 years in Australia. Clubbing (Dyskoteka), so many parties, late nights, hiking in forests and mountains, collecting mushrooms and forest fruits (pacht), and overall something was always happening. Life in Poland was Active.

So, i'm really interested in the opinions of people who visited poland, and if your visit changed your life. Did you experience more in Poland?

Work / Is Master Degree Important in Poland? [16]

Hi, I looked around if this wasn't covered before but didn't find anything, so I started this thread. My question if simple. Where in the world (including and especially Poland) is a Masters Degree important. When browsing various jobs on different sites, I noticed the highest educational requirement for anything was a bachelor degree. So whats the point of a Masters?

Life / Wage - Expenses = It Doesn't Add Up!!! [33]

Hi, I know this kind of topic has been raised before, but perhaps people have new opinions of it.

If I were to move to Poland, I don't know how I would survive. My calculations show that I would be making negatives.

My job (Engineering, English) would get me ~1700zl a month.
A decent 1 room apartment/unit would run me in at $1500. So thats out of the question. I would have to settle for renting a small room for $1000zl.

That leaves me with $700zl for food, living supplies, transport, bills (water, electricity, phone), etc.

Bills would cost around $300 a month. So $400 is left.

Food could cost around $400 a month (and thats limiting), so so now I have $0.

I don't know how much cost living supplies and transport for a month, but I won't be able to afford them, let alone buy myself anything I would like.

Did I miscalculate something?

Courses are usually on the faculties of construction and trwają5 years. Often, you can also complete with engineer after 4 years of study , and an additional year and a half to devote to doing a master's degree . At many universities has to be done according to the ECTS credit point system . Within the direction you can choose from several or even a dozen specialties .

This could be, for example . Structures and engineering that prepare graduates for the design and implementation of general construction , industrial and civil engineering . This specialization gives him a knowledge of the complex issues of engineering structures mechanics.
