Our dream world

I have already spoken about what I think of the unemproyment rate here in Portugal and what I think of the many people who preffer to be on an unemployent pay than work, after a while some even preffer not to work at all.for they have someone to provide for them (note that I am talking of some).
It's funny how people keep telling me there is no work available for all.
I say, maybe not, but we must be willing to try new things.
Last week there were farmers asking for workers to work their fields, they said there were not many portuguese asking for work so they contracted people from Croatia and Romenia...and then people conplain that there are too many foreigners in Portugal and that they come to take our jobs...
BS!
What happens is that they are afraid that these people take their place on the "not so heavy" jobs. What they do not think is that for a foreigner to get those positions they have to be better than anybody else while they expect to get it just because they are portuguese!
It's actually hilarious that my country fellows who don't have studies assume they should be able to get a job well above their capacities.
Moreover, I do not see portuguese who have a degree working on construction, or in the case above, on the fiels so I do not see how foreigners are taking their jobs, yet there are foreigner doctors in Portugal who are working well under their abilities without complaining publicly about it.
When I worked abroad, I too worked on any job I could lay my hands on.
Some will be better than others, but you'll endure it because you need to.
We shouldn't hate these people, but admire them instead for they work to survive whereas some of us will only do it if that job allow them to have the lifestyle they dreamed of.
If all of us were able to do only what we wanted for a living, we would live in our dream world.
It would be perfect for us though I don't know how would our society survive without people to provide for our basic needs...
Would we go back to pre-historical times when our uncestors collected roots and fruits to survive?
