May I ask you about your own scientific degree, University, and graduation year?

Now you understand that Polish degrees are sometimes not worth the paper there written on.

Oh really , you`ve found such site , oh my ! I find you so narrow- minded , I`ve said in my post why Polish univ are not listed in such rankings , so now Sherlock go to my post quickly and READ

Perhaps you might want to enlighten your readers and tell them why !!

Your comment on this subject is made only to make Poles angry , as everybody knows that simple and obvious fact that an educational level of polish schools is much higher than of those western European

Monia your comments don't reflect published ratings of Best Universities in the World, Poland is not on the board!!!
Don't doubt Poland has a high standard of education, The point I was trying to make that where one is education is his trade mark for the future. Education is no the issue in Poland, its more a question of wages, so people would not have to go elsewhere ie Germany.

In Poznan, you're looking at around 150-200k to get a small 2 room flat in an area with no decent public transport connections (basically, no train/tram).

Poznan is a pretty big town and who wants to live in a place that has no public transport, the point I was trying to make is that (and that applies everywhere) is that you need to live in a major town to secure a career path/entertainment etc. There is nothing wrong with living in the country and as you correctly point out that food/housing is cheaper but that is good only in retirement.

In the West parents enrol there children to the best private schools to give them the edge in finding a career, in Poland living in a small country town can be a great disadvantage for children.

Some of those cheap housing blocks in the middle of nowhere can be a depressing sight. I would hate to live in one..

Antek said he is NOT an employee or professor within any university, but is a consultant and provided a link as to what type of consultant work he does. It is a specialized career that involved hard work and knowledge. No where was it implied that he is a big shot. Those are your words.

Sorry, you are correct in your response, I'm sorry if I upset Antek but sometimes patience runs thin when you try to respond to certain comments. One agrees that there are rich people in Poland and certainly in central Warsaw all indicates that you are living in a modern country, but try going to a country town and things change, not in the sense of seeing people starving, but job opportunities and ability to get enough money to buy a house/apartment. Lets agree though that no person starves in Poland.

Yeah things are getting better in Poland.

[quote=Antek_Stalich]No, buddy, I will not work like "rest of us" -- meaning you -- because cleaning restrooms would not let me earn enough to support the whole family for last 20 years, me being the single earner. Neither in Poland nor in Australia.

I don't need to advertise what I have or what I have not, I'm not complaining, all I own has been obtained by honest means, not so for a lot of business people in Poland and has somebody pointed out people receiving pensions and working without paying taxes..

Now what about getting back on the topic....people in Poland seem to be living in debt or rather not able to repay on time !

I should say nothing but I will answer this insult. I am a consultant. Not any employee of any University. Yes, I use to give paid training to University Scientific Circles because students want to learn more than the University could teach them and I'm a unique expert in my professional specialty.

Antek here we go again, first you try to impress by saying that you have 4 computors, not getting the response you wanted you now tell us you are some big shot in the university, well HULLO any one home. This will not work, just come down to ground level and be like the rest of us, like I mentioned in my previous post the internet, in particular blogs bring out the worse in people, for far too long this forum has been hijacked by people in the real estate profession trying to make a spin on buying properties in Poland, how wrong they have been. After 16 pages of discussion and abuse one is none the wiser for a simple question asked ie Who is poor in Poland...

I have shown my cards. Now it is your time to show yours, unless you are too cowardly to do it.

Antek, This is a discussion forum, unfortunately the Internet and blogs bring out the worse in people as displayed on this forum. You make out to be so sort of a big shot, ie a know all and to be frank no one likes a smart arse.. sorry but do you get the point. Everyone sees things from a different perspective and no one is right and no one is wrong. The point being that no one has the answers... not even you.

The projection of a country is based mainly on the external immage which is linked mainly with an infrastructure.

Sorry not true, see how other countries use there resources and invest in the future. Poland has not the capacity to move on... as mentioned in my 2 points.... please read.

Life / Who is poor in Poland? [720]

no, I do not think Poles are poor in general. There are some riches, there are some poor

Antek, please.... The majority of people just make ends meet full stop. Sure a lot of rich Poles and sure a lot of middle class prosperity., but what about the majority of people on some sort of income support like pensioners and the unemployed. What about access to Hospitals and dental treatment. I see two major issues facing Poland today, .

1. Corruption in the Government and local authorities, dishonesty amongst the Polish people, ie cheating and stealing.

2. The low income of workers as compared to other countries.
Poland will never be on par to Germany unless wages are increased and this is not possible. One has to reflect and see that under capitalism there has to be a poor working class to support the rich.

Antek try taking off your rose colored glasses and get back to reality.

And stay on topic, please. It seems your arguments are exhausted and you start using argumentum ad perso

Besides, if you are so stupid to indebt yourself, wielki pan, don't tell me you're rich.wielki pan: Lol, do you thinksI has a hamburger.

No need for insulting comments Antek, please stick to the facts.. Understand that there is nothing wrong with taking out a loan, thats how people get rich. The question is who can afford a loan???

Please stick to eating hamburgers and lets not talk rubbish.

Lol the Poles use credit cards all the time a nasty disease from the west might I suggust.

The nature of a soap bubble is that the cards can be checked easily. This is why the last crisis hardly hit Poland but it hit some of the countries mentioned above.

Lol, do you thinks the banks are honest... lol The fact is that banks like in the US banks would love to lure anyperson to take out a loan, unfortunately in Poland the wages are so low that even banks don't bother.

This is a classic example of someone that does not understand or follow European currency.On 31 December 1998, the European Central Bank (ECB) fixed the irrevocable exchange rate, effective 1 January 1999, for German mark to euros as DM 1.95583

what has that got to do with the price of eggs in China, the fact remains that if Poland was such a strong economy, the zote would almost be in parity with the US dollar. The Polish economy has improved somewhat in the last 18 months but please understand this is borrowed money a lot coming from the EU.

wielki pan: Why is the zlote so low?PARDON ME? Have you come here from Outer Space or what? The US dollar is very low against PLN in Poland, again.wielki pan: A lot of new expensive cars in Warsaw are either corporate/hire cars and not owned by the average student/workerWhere in the world are the expensive new cars owned by average students/workers? Are you mad?!

Mad, hmm, may be! I come from the planet earth, you must come from Poland. The point being that the Polish currency should be almost on parity with the US dollar. It once hovered around the 2 zl mark.

When you visit the US/GB/Australia you will see what young people/workers are driving.

Antek no need to advertise your ignorance.

Those great times for USA are, I am afraid, over . So , you have to swallow a bitter pill of truth and don`t criticise and blame the country of your mother and father instead to feel better . We are smart enough to survive . We don`t need to come to America after bread any more ,thanks God .

Lol, why is the Polish government wanting to change visa requirements to the US? Why are so many people leaving Poland to work say in Germany, UK? Why is the zlote so low? The fact remains Monia and I agree with most you say, is that life in Poland is very difficult for a lot of people, especially the retired and those out of work, sure quality of life is much better but that doesn't help pay the bills.

A lot of new expensive cars in Warsaw are either corporate/hire cars and not owned by the average student/worker.
The US will always be the economic leader in the world, nothing has changed nor will the economic downturn change things.. There has always been the rich/middle class/poor people, interestingly enough the percentage has remained the same.

Sadly in Poland the right to purchase a house has been denied due to costs and low wages for a lot of people.

Poland is quite friendly towards people in general - no-one is going to report you for dodging taxes, for a start.

Lol, this is the whole problem everyone avoids taxes. yes how true, I've seen it, false receipts, claiming disability pension and working full time, Is this dishonesty or cheating? In the Polish mentality it is not being dishonest. This is why Poland is Poor, the common Polish saying that those who lie also steal is so true.

Mr D people attend church on mass, pray to the almighty and then cheat!! what is going on.
Your comments suggests that you know the ins and outs of how to cheat the system, it didn't take you long to find out.

Law / Got Polish citizenship, now I need a Pesel and passport [26]

With your attitude, I'm not surprised that they don't want to give you the Dowod.

you seem to be a nasty person Mr D, as I mentioned in a previous post on this topic, getting a Polish Passport for somebody not born in Poland is a real nightmare, believe me, the run around, nobody willing to help, and paperwork and fees. The merry go around continues when you have to find a place that can take your fingerprints, the average time seems to be around 12 months... good luck

There's normally all sorts of stuff available for 1-2zl a kilo - for instance, potatoes never go above 2zl a kilo, and I've seen them as cheap as 60gr at one point last year.

lol, half rotten food maybe, you should suggest going to the fields picking mushrooms.

It's not difficult at all

Wish it were true, but those not born in Poland, the process is long and expensive, as mentioned in my previous post for those not born in Poland give yourself 12 months... Mr D you must have got your passport under the old system, each of these processors are done seperately and each has a cost factor. 1/Obtain parents birth certificate 2/ register your documents with the registry office in Poland/3 Obtain Pesal 4/ Apply for Passort. Not difficult hmmm you must be easy to please.

Real Estate / Poland house prices recovered faster - Summary of 2010 [89]

This defeats the whole purpose of buying a house/apartment for personal use...why bother buying if it is going to take 2 lifeyears to have full ownership...True in Germany most people rent... the question arises is how much rent is paid and what percentage is that of gross income.. It clearly is not good news for people starting off and the price of house generally going up, a further problem is the hugh costs associated with owning a house ie heating and water...The wild card will still hit Poland when people who own a house will not be able to maintain it after ceasing work, the pension will go no further than pay for few meals per day...

Real Estate / Poland house prices recovered faster - Summary of 2010 [89]

If the truth be known the price of real estate in Poland has been the same in the last 2 years, sure some good properties in the central districts have gone up but not all. The problem remains as before is that the average pole cannot affort to purchase ie take a loan which will take him two life years to repay, for those phantom real estate agents who on a regular basis talk so much crap understand that overpriced home are reserved for the brits and those from a bankrupt country known as the United States ie USA.

Life / $3,000-$4,000 a month - would we have enough money to live in Poland? [273]

I have noticed over the last 2 1/2 weeks three guys (30 to 40 years old) that just hang out on the street corner. they live in the building behind me and one always has a black shoulder bag with him. They are loud and always cussing. They take turns at being drunk, but one is always drunk.

Thats just part of Polish life, theres always a group of drunks hanging around apartment blocks, if you haven't been robbed or assulted by now you are safe..
