Maybe Poland is just one of the exceptions of doing things right. This is definitely not the case in most of Romania, and even Greece and Portugal from what I've heard. Sure you can work in tourism, but tourism wages pay complete dogshit unless you own the business. Sure, not everyone does tech jobs, but here in Romania, the young here mostly want white collar jobs which automatically means moving to the 5 rich developed big cities of the country as those have corporate jobs with good benefits, good universities and also good schools and good healthcare facilities and good-ish infrastructure. Living in smaller cities is pretty bad as your salaries would be much lower than the big cities but your rent not that much lower. And also now the schools suck and so do the hospitals due to the best teachers and doctors mostly wanting to live in the richer developed big cities, so having a family there is mostly out of the question. So moving to a big city is a no brainer for the young. Almost nobody being born in a small cities will stay there as an adult. The entire country is being depopulated and either moving to western Europe or crowding in the same 5 big cities with jobs, universities, good-ish schools and good-ish infrastructure.
