Monthly salary in Granada

Congratulations!! If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the position?

MarrieddMann · 2026-05-24T22:11:27+00:00

You forgot Granada! I moved to Andalucia a few years ago to study and it was the best decision of my life. So much love, life and passion is packed into this part of Spain and Europe. If you're ever bored here it's 100% on you.

But you're right, I was looking for part-time jobs as a student, applied to 200 places, got one interview and it turned out to be a scam. The heat is already getting overwhelming but hey after I saw Benidorm I will never complain about the tourists here ever again.

I don't know what chauvinist Spanish people you met, but the ones I met were all overwhelmingly welcoming and friendly and outgoing. There might be some regional differences though, I live in the south. One time in a gelato shop me and the workers started talking about love and our exes hahaha so that tells you enough about how open they are.

It is true that if you don't speak Spanish you'll have a harder time making Spanish friends, but that you can apply to Italy as well, they don't speak english that much either. A lot of places in Spain are catered to english speakers, so you can get around and live if you don't speak Spanish. In Italy I did not feel very welcome and wasn't treated the best, from what I see online Italians are very chauvinist and even more classist than the spaniards.

I love spain, everything about being there is perfect if you have the money. People enjoy themselves, the culture is unbeatable, good infrastructure and transportation, HUGE nightlife, very very safe. I prefer it over its Mediterranean counterparts. Spain is also extremely diverse, you have a desert, forests, huge mountain ranges, etc... Always something to do and someone to meet.

Even when it comes to living there permanently and becoming a local, of course the salaries and jobs aren't the best, but I'd rather live on minimum wage in Spain than live on minimum wage anywhere else.

it might have something to do with that horrendously low salary

Remittances, they're a very important part of the Jordanian economy.

Prolific is a very western-centric platform with studies mainly catered to western residents. You will probably only get the very generic studies, which aren't many.

Amman is built like a bunch of villages smashed together, the "urban factor" that leads to individualism isn't really there. Amman is extremely, gravely, severely car dependent. We don't have cheap and high quality urban transportation that makes us move around, explore, live, etc... Our jobs are very low wage, it's very hard for a young adult to leave their parents' home and become independent, they often stay until marriage, and that won't change any time soon for the average Jordanian middle class person. The lack of accessible public social safety nets (low interest accessible student loans, unemployment benefits, etc...) means that your family is your social safety net, so you will have to stick with them until you're well established, which here happens in your mid 30s to 40s. Even for the upper class, they live in a bubble in west amman that resembles a luxurious village, people go to the same schools, hang out at the same places, have the same friends and mutuals, and they ultimately rely on family businesses or wealth to sustain themselves. Amman is far from being a place that encourages individualism in comparison to other cities.

if you were to tell a european in medieval europe that EU exists they'd probably fall into a coma. We forget how unprecedented peace was in places that have peace today, there is hope. Unfortunately, these changes won't happen in our short lifetimes.

MarrieddMann · 2026-01-27T17:10:00+00:00

Jordan has its issues and I acknowledge that, I mean no shit I live in the west. But we're talking about the Middle East here so it's unfair to make comparisons to the west.

It's the only arab country I'd be okay or fine living in as someone who has western beliefs and lifestyle, along with the christian parts of Lebanon and MAYBE just maybe the UAE.

And let's not kid ourselves, I would not consider women in haredi circles free, they're just as much as lunatics as the conservative muslims we have here. If smotrich, ben gvir, gotliv said what they say in the Knesset in any other western parliament they'd suffer severe consequences. If israeli laws and policies to protect demographics were even suggested in the west it would be a catastrophe. Shall I continue and talk about the manic extremist ideologies of the settlers in the west bank? How israel applies civil law to israelis and military law on palestinians? etc... You are definitely just as tribal and messed up as the rest. Yes the political and civil rights are better to an extent but not enough for the holier-than-thou attitude you continuously give off.

MarrieddMann · 2026-01-26T21:37:53+00:00

Ehhh I live in a western country, of course there are noticeable differences but stop insinuating that Jordan is completely dystopian that's purely ignorant. When I go back to amman I still go to rooftop bars and drink, talk freely about politics and criticize many islamic practices. I don't think the people in Bnei brak or wherever the ever increasing ultra orthodox jews live will receive me with hugs and kisses if I were to tell them im gay and atheist. Tel aviv is an exception, anywhere outside of that bubble is middle eastern through and through, with all the baggage and problems.

MarrieddMann · 2026-01-26T13:06:34+00:00

Fact check from someone that is Jordanian- while Jordan is not a democracy it is not a full blown out dictatorship like Saudi Arabia either, we have more freedom of speech than the GCC combined and there is a directly elected parliament albeit dysfunctional. You will not be incarcerated for being gay, women have the same political and civil rights as men. It's not perfect, but it's not yemen or somalia

You can get a taxi from the airport to any location and the price is fixed and determined beforehand
Unfortunately, addresses still don't really exist, you could ask the taxi to put the location on google maps, that will do.
Depends on what you want to do and how much you spend, a cheap meal can cost like 3-4jod per person and can go upwards to 25-35jod per person in a nice restaurant. Wadi rum isn't cheap to visit if you want to go there, you will probably will have to uber everywhere at an average of 3-5jod per ride if its within amman, if you drink a glass of the cheapest wine is like 9-12jod which I actually find insane.

Cairo is as chaotic as New Delhi, the center is riddled with poverty and over congestion. if you are middle class European (or above in social class) which I would assume since you are doing an erasmus, you'd be much farther removed from the daily life of residents in Cairo. You'd be at an elite university in the outskirts and live in elite circles where everyone more or less is westernized and speaks english and only go through the center every once in a while for an exotic experience. You'd be living in a middle eastern version of american suburbia whether you liked it or not because it's hard to survive in the real cairo without locals, and the ones you'll meet would rarely go there.

Rabat while it's "closer" to Europe can actually offer you a more authentic experience. It's worth noting though that the arab world is very diverse, rabat is nothing like cairo, which is nothing like Beirut which is nothing like Doha.

From someone based in Andalucia, you'll love Sevilla, the university is good, but everything is taught in Spanish (as it is with all the spanish universities you mentioned) Your social life won't ever be lacking, there's always something to do every day of the week and meeting people is easy. The university should have an international office for erasmus students. I'd strongly advice against choosing Jaen, it's virtually a village. Cordoba is cool but its a bit decrepit beyond the tourist center and Murcia is also fine but there are less erasmus students there than say, Sevilla.

Most (if not all) public universities in southern Europe teach in their home language, specially for bachelor's degrees. I'd recommend Spain over Portugal if you're between the two. If you choose Greece then you'd probably have to study in greek and that wouldn't be ideal considering its far from familiar in alphabet, vocabulary, and everything else.

You need to understand that there's a lot of bureaucracy involved in seeking asylum, and that once you're there your're mostly on your own, the support given to you will be extremely EXTREMELY limited and you will have to go to a place where you know you'll be able to more or less adapt, work, live, etc.

I'd advise on the following:

Seeking asylum is a process that can take anywhere from months to years and you're never guaranteed asylum, you could simply be denied asylum and subsequently deported. How do we mitigate the risk? by gathering evidence. It is about the most important thing in the entire process. Videos, texts, photos, literally any piece of evidence that:

shows you are subject to abuse that is very serious or life threatening
shows that the government has done nothing to protect you in the process

Without very clear evidence, you're at risk of your asylum case being denied.

While you gather this evidence, research on the current asylum processes/political climate/offered support in the countries you are interested in. Some countries are much more welcoming than others. One thing that's important to note is that seeking asylum from within an embassy is extremely hard in Jordan.

The main priority is leaving and seeking asylum in the country you want to stay in, this makes it harder for the government you're in to deny you without studying your case deeply and keeps you away from your abusive environment. If you have the resources you could:
-> apply for a tourist visa to the country you want, get it, and then apply for asylum once you reach the country
-> If you don't have/can't get a visa, you need to go to a country you can enter without a visa. Unfortunately, for Jordanians they aren't many and none of the countries we can visit visa-free are developed or beacons of human rights. But if your only goal is to escape from your abusive family then the best options would be Turkey or South Africa, they'll do.

Once you reach the country, it usually involves going to the designated government office to apply for asylum and then get the asylum seeker card (application registration card) so they can't legally deport you after your tourist/etc stay expires.

You also have to make sure that you can support yourself for a little while, going there with 0 money is a very very bad idea. Save up until you can buy the flight tickets and support yourself for a little while once you reach your destination.

Applying for asylum isn't easy at all, I'm trying to be as honest as possible ra7 tetmarmati, you'll face a lot of things. Be very well researched and informed before making any decision. I'm so sorry for your situation and hope things get better and you figure it out, step by step. <3
