New statistics from the Italian government: 20% of Italian
students who complete a Bachelor+Master University cycle (a
minimum 5 years study period) doesn't get a job in 12 months.

Now the words of my ex-professor of AI come to mind: yes, all
this frenzy of students to get a Master's degree here and go
work in other Coutries: don't you think about who's been
forming you for all these years? Don't you want to give back
to your own Country, staying here to fight? (exact words may
have been paraphrased, of course).

I would stay, really. But it'd be not about giving back, it
would be to stay with friends and family. As to give back, I
can just hope to be brilliant in what I will do for the rest
of my life, and point people to Italy - or rather, to Italy's
University system.

Because I believe that Italy and its University system have
split a long time ago. The latter has been leading innovation
in many fields (researchers at home, albeit with limited
funds and Italian researchers in the world), whereas the
former was at home, watching TV.

I don't believe I owe anything to the people who have been
ruining my Italy, one TV program at a time. And I want to
survive somehow; but clinging to the remnants of Italy is not
a viable solution, and is less of a solution every day on.
