How can there be white-collar jobs paying 600-800 Euro/month in Italy, that's just ridiculous and arrogant of companies to offer that. But I guess they can get away with it in this job market...
Regarding this I'm talking about people entering the job market or re-entering it after being fired in a previous place.
Most white collar people that have been employed years ago with regular long-term contracts gain around 1100-1300 per month (net retribution).
Now the thing that is happening is that they want young people that just graduated to work for them with a "stage" contract.
This is a basically a fake internship where you don't learn much and you do basic stuff like simple accounting, making copies and other low responsibility work.
The concract is usually of 3 or 6 months, then they simply fire the worker and get another one so they don't have to employ him.
Sometimes they keep one or two stagist but statistically this is not very common.
The companies pays the afore mentioned wages for this, it's very hard to escape this as a graduate untill you have good connections (the old "recommendation").

Unfortunately it's almost impossible to find an interesting job for a recent graduate nowadays in southern europe.
Here in Spain the base salary when you start after university is around 22-25k per year, go try to live well with that.
Anyways, yes you should try Switzerland as it has been recommended, maybe Lugano as it's the italian part.
You don't have an alumni base at your university?
I use these sites to look for jobs in banks:
http://www.efinancialcareers.com
http://www.cityjobs.com
The base wage in Spain doesn't look that bad (provided that you talk about net salary). I mean that's almost 2000euro per month.
Sure you will not get rich and won't live like a baller but it seems reasonable compared with the costs of many spanish cities, if you exclude the most expensive areas Your thougths on this?
What do you mean with "alumni base"? Is it the recruting service used by companies with the data of graduates?
Thanks you all again for the suggestions and advices.
