Edit: My question: is it as easy to find a good job/career there as my girlfriend says, being a 26-year-old Italian guy with a degree in psychology and extensive skills and knowledge in the food world?
Edit 2: Is it so hard to save money even if we already have a house? (We'll be working in 2 years)
I'm 26, Italian, my partner is Turkish, and we currently live in Italy.
I'm finishing my bachelor's degree in psychology (I started late) and working in the kitchen (I'm doing very well).
I'm not yet sure if my career will be in psychology (continuing my studies) or in cooking/gastronomy (which I consider almost a secondary course of study given the methodology I use: reading books, working, experimenting, etc.), or perhaps both.
We'd like to start a family, and to do so here in Italy, we'd need a few years to save enough money to buy a house and, most likely, have a child. I estimate it will take at least 5-6 years. During this time, we could both develop careers with even higher incomes.
She already owns some houses and workable land in Turkey.
She suggested we move there, saying that as an Italian with my culinary skills and a degree in psychology, I would have no problem entering the job market and growing significantly.
She, by the way, would already have a good job if she returned there. Reading some posts and hearing some information, however, makes Turkey's economic and political difficulties clear, so I wanted to get opinions on my situation from you, both Turkish and non-Turkish, who live in Turkey.
(My girlfriend is aware of this post. Since many here have spoken badly of living in Turkey without a rich and solid work base, I wanted to share my situation as well.)
Thank you
