Default Three months of struggle

Since I finished university in summer, I've been jobless for about 3 months. I feel that it's time to reveal the source of my disappointment. I've been to many interviews and I sort of made a conclusion to the whole affair.

You see I finished the university as a chief of promotion for my specialty. I know a couple of foreign languages (Russian, English, French) and have decent computer skills (I'm familiar with a lot of stuff from Microsoft/Open Office to Adobe suite, and even a bit of SQL databases and programming). In short I should've been employed by now, especially since I accept low-tier jobs like warehouse worker.

But no, most likely the problem isn't in me. Most likely the main problem is the stupid Moldovan mentality of taking and giving bribes for every little issue. With me being a ducking paladin, the result is an incompatible couple (Moldovan employers - me). Until now I thought, that surely 1 out of 10 employers must not be corrupt and I've got a solid chance. The conclusion is no, that's wrong, it's 100%. The only jobs that don't require bribes are those that leave you crippled after 1 year of work, and with me already being a cripple, I can't say I've much of a chance there.

I must stop my story now, since the level of stupidity flooding the streets of Chisinau is slowly reaching my appartment. Thanks for listening.
