Law / Why is Poland importing so much coal? [76]

yeah did some more research and figured it out for the most part.

"Between the 1990s and 2000s, the coal industry underwent major restructuring, which led to the early closure of many coal mines and a sudden decrease in production output. In fact, due to this restructuring process, Poland's coal production has spiralled into a steady decline. More recently, coal imports exceeded exports for the first time in history."

When this industry becomes more privatized as they claim, in addition to the new PGE deal, exports should probably rise in the future

Law / Why is Poland importing so much coal? [76]

I was just wondering why the country with the largest coal reserves in Europe would be importing so much. I know 93% of Poland's energy is reliant on coal and I know PGE is building a huge new coal plant in Opole but shouldn't the domestic reserves suffice? or at least shouldn't imports be low, not exponentially increasing? Especially with the EU carbon emissions rules working against the Polish coal industry so heavily.. Just find it strange that imports have risen and exports have fallen over the past 30 years..

USA, Canada / Getting job in U.S. with Polish degree [14]

Phtoa and MJD, both you guys make a good point.

@MJD, yes it would look better to get a degree from an American university, but again depends on the employer. My logic is that if I am going to study international business it might be wise to go outside the U.S. to get that degree. I did do some thinking and discussing with friends and family and right now after I recieve my M.A. I would have to spend another year and a half of schooling going for my American MBA but the economy seems a little too uncertain right now..

@Phtoa, ya thanks. Its actually just a M.A. but if I continue another year and a half like mentioned, I could get my American MBA...

Regardless I have alot of thinking to do. Just at that point where I want to quit studying and start working already :P

USA, Canada / Getting job in U.S. with Polish degree [14]

Thanks for the feedback guys. My school does have a partnership with NL University in Chicago so they recognize it so that might help. How should I go about evaluating my diploma?

I think it might be important just to land a solid internship and go from there.

USA, Canada / Getting job in U.S. with Polish degree [14]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone had experience with looking for a job in the U.S. with a degree from Poland? I got my bachelors of arts in the U.S. and then went to Polska to get my masters in business management from a wyzsza szkola (wsb). Anyway I am going to be finishing up soon and will have to come home and was wondering what a job search will look like for me with a Polish degree and how potential employers might view it.

Thanks

Life / Help me find this Polish band and song.... [117]

Thread attached on merging:
Song Identification?

So there wasn't a catagory on where to put this post but I heard a song a while ago in Polish that I fell in love with and have been searching for years for the name of it and I was just wondering if maybe somehow someone here could help.

It was a guitar song kind of similar to czerwone gitary music but a little different. Anyway all I remember is the chorus which builds up with the singer singing fast and then he finishes with "chłopcy chłopcy"

Super long shot I know but it was be amazing if someone could help

Dziękuje
