Hey! CurlyHannah's post just made me sign up to Amber's forum(along with another thread I read before this, I must say).So...I felt the need to sign up and post a message to clear things out a little.
I am gonna be mean and say CurlyHanna herself goes to one of those "100 private univ where everyone can go, doesn’t matter u r very stupid, doesn’t matter u never go to class, doesn’t matters u r gonna see your teacher for the first time at the final exams, all it matters is to pay for the taxes”. Her English and her lack of info on how things work in her own country made me say that.
So, how things really are in Romania? There are private and state-controlled universities. If YOU WANT TO STUDY, you can study anywhere, state or private. If YOU DON"T WANT TO STUDY, you don't no matter what university ur attending. She says at the private universities u can pass exams no matter if you study or not, no matter if you attend the classes or not. FALSE!!!
I have graduated 2 universities, the first that I graduated was a state university, the most prestigious university Romania has aka "Universitatea Bucuresti". At one of the very first classes we had, the professor entered the classroom and said hello. Then he just stared at us for 5 or so minutes and then he walked through the classroom and chose 10 of us, asked us to stand and when he was done 'choosing’, he told us, the chosen ones, that we will fail his exam till the end of time because he doesn't like our faces...Why he didn't like our faces? I have no frikkin' idea to this day. But what I can tell you is that he did indeed keep his promise, even if it turned out to a very very little media scandal since one of the "chosen" ones was a quite famous Romanian singer.
The second university I graduated from was a private university, the most famous private one, "Romanian-American University”. I had a very very big surprise here as I heard mostly bad things about it. But no professor told me he didn't like my face and we didn't had the liberty in attending classes or not that we had at the prestigious state university. Unless we could provide valid papers that we have a job (cam girl is definitely not one of the accepted jobs),we had to attend at least 75% of the classes, otherwise we wouldn't be accepted in the exam session. In order to pass an exam, you had to study cause they didn't allow any "inspirational materials" during exams, like the prestigious university did (I mean using ur Smartphone, having ur books n notebooks under the desk and so on).
I know it's a damn long reply, but I want to give you examples so that you understand better. It’s nothing like what CurlyHannah says it is. WE do indeed have 2 so called universities that allow each dumbass to become a student there (Spiru Haret university and Hyperion university). But anyone who studies there, has any other intention than studying anything, they only want a university diploma/degree. The taxes are indeed something between 500 EUROS not $ and 1000 EUROS not $ (1 EURO = 1.3634 USD)
She says that at state university you don't pay taxes. FALSE! So damn FALSE. The private university fee is 500 Euros. What’s over 500 Euros is for state university, they ask for a bigger fee for some reason. They do give you a chance to study for free, BUT you have to be one of the BEST students, and that means the sum of the grades you get when u pass the exams has to be somewhere between 9,70 and 10 (and that's like a whole lot, especially for someone who has to work as well. those grades r for brainiacs. I, for example, I graduated with 9,20 and I never got a free-tax).
As to what she says referring to getting a job, it’s almost true. Almost because she says you can't get a job if you have graduated from a private university. You have a lot more chances to get a job if you graduate a private university because the majors they have are according to what the employers are looking for nowadays, unlike the state universities that still have the same majors they had during communist period. No one is looking nowadays for as many locksmiths as Ceausescu was looking for before '1989 (that's just an example).
You were wondering why there are so many Romanians on mfc and other alike sites. Look at me, I graduated 2 universities, 2 different majors and yet no one is hiring me. They require a minimum of 5 years of activity in the field you are trying to get hired. Or they pay you (per month) what the average members of mfc spend in a couple of days on their fav models.
How is someone supposed to pay the university fees, the books and all the other materials you need, transportation, rent, utilities and have some money left for food with that amount of money? And I didn't mention any money left for clothes, hygiene, vacation savings etc. And yes, Romanians do like to be dressed up all the time...
I’ll give my example again. My rent is 350 Euros a month (I do NOT live in a fancy neighbourhood), utilities are about 100 Euros during spring and summer and about 150 Euros autumn and winter. If you only eat at home and you spend around 150 Euros a week for food, drinks. Now you do the math and think again if you ever thought life in Ro is cheap (I did hear a guy once saying that with 100$ you can live like a king in Romania ))=)) )...
About the studios in Romania...I read more threads about this and it looks like some of the girls who worked in a studio are so traumatised that they generalise and they mislead you (let's not forget the ones that overreact just to get your pity...)
1st of all, this video chat industry is NOT illegal in Romania. It is absolutely legal. But it is up to the independent model or studio manager if they work legally or illegally. I worked in a studio for a few years, at first it was illegal because video chat was illegal, but as soon as it was legalised, the studio went legal too. The studio manager never asked any of the models for a booty call. We did have key loggers tho, because they wanted to see whatever the models type to figure out if she knows how to talk to members, make sure she isn’t breaking the site/studio rules etc.
There are more decent studios than bad ones, but it's up to the girls. Personally, I don't understand why they work there for a few years and then come here and complain. QUIT as soon as you realise you're working with a*holes. They threaten you? Be serious! If all models will quit, they will be too busy chasing all of you. And you can always threaten back. In the end, if you'd all quit, they might think of becoming a better studio, with a better working environment. Studios do indeed take a huuuuuge percentage, up to 56% (the decent ones(dunno if there's some wannabe-pimp out there asking for a bigger cut than that).
Well, there would be a lot more to say, but I made this post TOO LONG already. I just hope it will be a helpful post and if anyone wants to know more, I’ll be happy to answer all your questions. Have a good one. Buh bye!
