About two months ago I had a meeting with an old friend of mine which I hadn’t seen for a long time.   In our conversation he told me that he had just completed his college studies, in the field of psychology and he was expecting his bachelor degree to start his job as a Psychologist.   Since I was very happy to meet him and to congratulate him also at the same time for his accomplishment, I urged my friend to go and celebrate it with a glass of wine.   During our conversation my friend mentioned that while waiting for his degree, he was working as a pizza delivery for a well-known multinational pizza company, in order to cover his expenses, something he also did throughout all the period of his studies.   In our conversation he also mentioned his employer and I asked him about the working conditions and the cooperation with hi...
