"We think, Why every day are we going to university and studying?" says Phaidon Kyriakou, a 19-year-old math and physics student who was flying kites with friends on Monday. "Nobody has any hope. There's no real opportunity here." He and his friends fear they'll have to leave Greece to find decent jobs...
