Being in Yerevan and dealing with the people here has given me a very sad picture of persons working in the service industry. This not only includes the people in cafe's, restaurants and stores, but especially people in government and the medical industry.
What I'm seeing is that people are getting more and more incompetent, and they are incompetent to the point that it's harmful to our future. These are the kind of people you just want to put out of their misery, as they are really pathetic, but at the same time you feel sorry for them. Maybe that's one of our problems, feeling sorry for someone who adversely effects your life and existence.
Why is it that these "educated" people are so incompetent and stupid? Could it be a result of our educational system, which is now all about money? Could it be that to get into the university, it's still about how much money you have and/or who you know? Could it be that since our upper government for the most part are uneducated, that they look for people who are less educated then them so they wont be a threat? And why is it that the uneducated people have the money and are willing to pay to get into a jobs that they're not qualified for? I think our problem is a little bit of all of the above and until we put the brakes on such practices, things are only going to get worse and Armenia and it's only real natural resource, which is brain power, is going to one day be lost. Remember, Armenia once provided the greatest brain-power and industrial output in the USSR and this was not because we were uneducated. And yes, Armenian DNA if properly nurtured can once again in a very short amount of time regain that brain-power. Sadly, we are doing this to ourselves and anyone that is responsible for this condition or knowingly turns a blind eye to this problem and is unwilling to do their part to correct it is nothing less than a trader to our nation.
Someone asked me why I put up with these conditions and stick around? I guess it's because I really believe that these issues can be dealt with and we can turn things around. I also believe that there are still enough people here in Armenia or like I said above, we have people who if nurtured properly, have the potential to fill the void. Of course those people who are out there and ready to fill that void, need to have conditions which are cohesive to working in their field of specialty. This includes a need for laws and a justice system that really works for the people. Equal economic opportunities would also be a good thing to have.
I guess we need a major cleaning of the system and until we see a cleaning at the top, we should not expect any change to take place soon. Very sad and just what the Turks want.
Thank you for allowing me to vent and get that off my chest. I feel a little bit better, but will feel much better when we in fact fix these problems.
