What would you do if you were Greek

With having faced a five years of recession and now the possibility of 10 years of more austerity what would you do as a young Greek person? Unemployment is the highest in Europe,  unemployment at  19% of the work force. Benefits, pensions, wages have all been reduced by 20% and possible worse to come. So if I was single and young I'd be heading for the Northern countries of Europe, Germany, France, Holland, Finland, and the United Kingdom, why because at least the benefits in these countries are better than at home. If this were to happen a mass Exodus from Greece on a scale probably never seen since the end of the Second World War, could the European Union handle it or would the boarders go up? Only time will tell, but again will it be to little to late.
