"Every once in a while, we all take part of the flea market"

Living in a commonly well known part of the world, makes every individual in Dubai feel unique, prestigious and unbelievably lucky. But when the truth comes to light, nothing is as good as it seems.
In the land of opportunities, where the life standards are high, salaries double, housing, life insurance and even sometimes transportation is provided; education, age, gender and nationality is what truly matters when it comes to the job market.
As fortunate as we all may feel, finding a job is as hard as it gets. Unlike any other country, competition is tough, but after all who would not want to come work to one of the most wealthy and prestigious cities in the world? No matter where you come from, what you do, what last name you carry on, or college degree "wasta"(in arabic, who you know) rules the job market desicion. Sadly a true situation, that wether we like it or not, it is universal rule in the job market. So be aware of who you are, how you behave and what you say or do in public, as much as virtually in your Facebook profile.
This days one's reputation is a worldwideweb subject of discussion.
So as Iggy Azalea once said in her song Work, "I am not hating I'm just telling you"; I encourage all those out there, who either struggle looking for a job, or hate their job that they just do for the money; it is never too late to change your mind, do not sit in your own comfort for the monetary benefits and wonder how things could have been done differently, while life just passes right in front of your eyes. Mediocracy is just the easy way out to settle for the better and not the best.
And so get out of your comfort zone, take your leap of faith and look for that one job you would love to live for, and with pleasure you would wake up early every morning, without having to break your alarm on your bedside table.
Necessity is a common human trait, but achieving satisfaction though passion is a life changing experience.
