Iranian dispora worth more than $1,2 Trillion dollars

[Abii]

While I have many problems with current establishment too,but I appreciate it for somethings they did.
One of them is turning Iran's population from an illiterate one to an almost fully educated modern society,by giving chances of free education to all people.In Shah's time,I think only 50% of population were literate,but now,it's more than 93% and will reach 100% in coming years.
As you may know,many Iranians now have some kind of obsession in academic and graduate studies in university.That's why we have so much university students.

I never understood this arguement.

At the turn of the 20th century literacy was at 2-3 percent. By the 1970's it was more than 50%. By 2012 under the shah the literacy would have reached 99% for a few reasons: Iran's pop'n wouldn't have increased the way it did under IR, there wouldn't have been an Iran-Iraq war and Iran would have been 10 times richer. With time Iran would have been richer, much richer, and just as educated (even more) as today's Iran. We would have also had social freedoms and I would even argue that we would have more political freedom under the shah's regime (with time the regime would have opened up).

In any case neither the pahlavi regime, nor IR are ideal, but I'm just keeping it real and saying the obvious: we would've fared MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH better under the pahlavi regime.

No, not even close.

I studied business management (focus on international trade).

Alberta is the Saudi Arabia of North America and they badly need workers of all kind and they're willing to pay good money to attract people (in most cases they pay 2-3 times more than saudis/emaratis/qataris). To do NDT (non destructive testing) in the oil industry you can get into the business in a few diff ways. You can get an engineering degree or get certified in different testing methods individually (for example radiography). In Canada it's easier and faster to get certified in individual testing methods. All you need to do is take the courses, work for a set amount of hours, take the tests and you're certified. This takes 3-4 months (you also get paid for the work you do at this time). After that you can go get a job anywhere you want and in Northern Alberta they hire people on the spot (harsh working conditions so not many people are willing to work there). I'm a young guy, I'm not in a relationship and I frankly love the redneck life. It's a good time to be in Canada right now if you're willing to work in Alberta's oil industry.

no wonder why alot of people want to go to canada ... taxi driver with 3000 dollar wage per month....,WTF

this month i read newspaper alot of iranian captured by imigration biro in indonesia.... according to them, they want to go to australia, and they bring drugs dude.... make iran look bad in here.....

i see iran developing is faster than other country after big war with iraq.... and they defend their oil for the iranian ppl, thats why i love them... all gold and oil in SE asia already controlled by america ,canada and australia...

what the real problem with ur government dude?.... is it about western pressure?....

 

[Abii]

It is indeed but only for single and Young Guys if you are with a family cost of living is very high.

Well it depends.

My grandparents came here with enough cash to buy a business and a house. This was when property prices were still low (early 2000's) and now they're living a comfortable life.

Now if you come to Canada with a family and don't have a ton of money to start, it will be very difficult. However if you have an engineering degree and immigrate to Alberta, you could technically find a solid job in Calgary and Edmonton very easily. The conditions aren't nearly as bad as the places I want to go and work. Calgary and Edmonton are good places to raise a family but they're cold as the arctic in winters.

btw when we say family, what are we talking about? I'm talking 1-2 kids max. Anymore and yeah, you're correct, it's impossible to start without a solid bank account helping out at the start.

The problem with the Iranian regime is that they're a collection of fanatical ideologues. The ideology that they adhere to might be different from other totaliterian regimes, but the concept is literally the same. Think about all the totaliterian regimes that have come and gone and the ones that exist today (Nazi Germany, USSR, North Korea). Their creation was indeed as a result of the United States (indirectly b/c of them). People revolted against the previous regime b/c the shah was a puppet etc... These guys took control and here we are today. Today they are making life into living hell for Iranians. As a result many desperate people will do anything to get out and some will even do crimes like the things you said. Afghanistan is the drug capital of the world so it's easy to smuggle drugs from AFG to Iran and from Iran to a country like Indonesia.

And yeah, you're right, they're destroying Iran's image, but Iran's image was destroyed a long time ago. The mullahs have destroyed everything that was holy and beautiful about Iran and turned it into hell.

I'm not rich here in Holland, nor do I have the future of being very rich. I'm currently studying international relations and international organizations, and I want to be a political analyst in the Middle East, work for a think thank or simply serve Iran in diplomacy. I don't want to be rich either; I just want to make contribution to Iran's political situation, and that would be more easier if there is a new policy.

lol I studied International Relations for one term right after high school. Dropped out of the program though. It was fun, but I wanted to study something more useful. I was an idiot at the time so for some odd reason I decided to go and study business management. It turned out to be even more useless lmaoo

Should've stuck with Pli Sci.

btw, I don't know how it's in Holland, but here a lot of political science students apply to law school and even medical school once they get their bachelors (for med school they do an extra term or two and get the required science courses that they need). Of course you need a good maGPA to apply, but it's a route a lot of people take.

Alternatively you can focus on getting a job at the UN. Go to UN's site and see the career opportunities and the education that they require. Poli Sci is of course a great degree for a UN career, but you need related work experience and other things related to the jobs that they offer. You can make good money once you get your foot through the door.

Do you think the same thing will happen to South Korea, i.e. people will revolt, and install an Iran-like regime? The present day Germany has been more influenced by the US then the Nazi's ever were, and USSR was formed during a time when the US had an isolationist policy.

Yeah its true I heard people making mad money in the summers in Alberta. I was planning on doing that this summer.

lol never in a million years

South Korea is an educated country with educated people. The country also has a solid identity and vision. Everybody in the country realizes that South Korea isn't 100 percent independent, but they also realize that they need to work with the West in order to be safe from the crazy Northerners and also to progress economically, scientifically and frankly even socially. Today South Koreans are happy and enjoy the prosperity that has come to them as a resuly of sound economic and political policies of governments and regimes that ruled the country during their parent's times.


In Iran things weren't great and the people were still VERY backward back then. People were religous, literacy rates were low and they still wanted to live the traditional life. The shah was liberalizing the economy and society at the same time and this wasn't welcomed by the still backward people of the time. Another major force that kick started the revolution was the Soviet Union and her policy of supporting Iranian communists. The commies were of course anti-Western to the bone. So the mixture of Soviet backed communists and the asss backward religous/illiterate population was the Shah's undoing. The same thing proved Iran's undoing in the long-run because once the shah's regime was toppled, the ignorant and backward people of my parent's generation put their trust into people like Khomaini. The very people that rule Iran today used to be known as Islamic terrorists and thugs under previous regimes, but the Iranian people were too dumb to realize the future that Iran would have once these apes take control.

Yeah its true I heard people making mad money in the summers in Alberta. I was planning on doing that this summer.

cool, what part of Canada you from?

They're gonna start building pipelines from Alberta to all over. The "gold rush" will be here for some time.

 

[The Green1]

I think Iran could invest in Pakistan and Pakistan should also start developing more ties with iran.

I'm from Toronto so yeah Alberta is like a foreign country for me lol. But I'm gonna try my luck there in the summer, I'm still in university but I heard they do accept students to work in the oil sands and other sectors.

When I was in college one of my class mates went to Northern BC and worked in a mining operation. His job was to drive the miners around and deliver tools around with a truck all day. If course he did general labour too. He came back with a cool 10,000 dollars in his pocket!!!! This was in one summer. He had a first aid certificate and willingness to get his hands dirty. The year before that he did tree planting in some butt **** nowhere part of BC. That's a hard *** job, but you can make solid money.

There is a ton of work here in Canada for young single males. You just have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and get dirty. The conditions are rough, but hey, if you get compensated well it shouldn't be a problem.

I really regret not moving to Alberta right after high school.

Nice how long would this last? It seems everyone doing business degree which is very general and needs experience for good job. So you work while getting that certificate?
