What do young Romanians want?

According to a study made by GFK Romania, here are some key findings about what do young Romanians want (with my comments on them between brackets):

- 25% of them want to leave Romania for good (i don't).
- 49% of them would like to leave Romania at least for one or two years for studying or working abroad (maybe, in Sweeden).

- 83% of them want their own apartment (me included)
- 81% want a good job (i got one)
- 73% want to be financially independent (fortunately, i reached this several years ago)
- 64% of them want a family (now? hmm... depends on her)

Here is how "the future sounds" according to the study:
- 76% of them think of a better future (me included)
- 74% of them think Romania joining the EU will bring moree opportunities (me included).

Looking now at what do they think is needed in order to be successful, let's see:
- self-confidence - 81% (yes, very important)
- solid education - 76% (hmm...i would bet more on things learned on the job, not in school)
- foreign languages - 72% (a must)
- own skills - 69% (they can be improved)
- professional competencies - 68% (this comes with experience)
- good looking - 38% (hahaha)
- going around the law - 23% (hmm...i wouldn't bet on this)
- be a member of a political party - 23% (which party? i don't think you should try this. better look on top of the list).

Also, I would like a car, wireless throughout the entire country, a house and a dog. And a bottle of Jack, please.

What do you think? What else do you need in order to be successful?
