Somehow I felt that indirectly. But I was younger and I don't know, I was an aupair there. When that finished, even if I have a degree. I tried to find a job. Even my boyfriend at the time, could only find me jobs as a domestic house worker. Now that I look at that I wanted to say "hey. I have more studies than you do. I speak Portuguese, English, French and now even Italian. Perhaps I can do more rather than cleaning up houses"
