Norway is known for its large oil funds, high living, majestic fjords, and
maybe a little too much diversity and progressiveness for its own good (but
at least not as bad as Sweden, Germany and France).
But there are indeed incentives for a man to go, at least in the short term
or semi-permanent, since wages are very high and the quality of life
largely correspond to the level of income. Of course, it is also extremely
expensive, but if we make an analysis of revenue Concrete / cost, it is
clear that the net savings can be very high anyway.
As a man Swedish that worked for a while, visited many times and have many
friends who have lived or live there now, I will shed light on some of the
main reasons why a man might consider to work and live in Norway, temporary
or semi-permanent.
national characteristics
Norway is situated in Scandinavia in northern Europe, neighboring Sweden
and Denmark, with about 5 million. The World Factbook describes the climate
as & # 8230;
& # 8230; temperate along coast, modified by North Atlantic Current; colder
interior with increased precipitation and colder summers; rainy year on the
west coast.
Small towns such as Bergen, Trondheim and Ålesund on the west coast suffer
from regular downpours, although summers can be quite pleasant.
Politically and economically, Norway is a social democratic society mainly
with a large wellness area. Alongside the rich, mainly oil revenues,
leading to a relatively low work ethic, at least the basis of being a
Germanic countries. On the other hand, the confidence of the company is
high and crime is low outside of a couple of & # 8221 dynamic; parts of the
capital Oslo.
Compared to Sweden, Norway is as patriotic, manifested on May 17 is
celebrated as the Day of the Norwegian Constitution. Feminism is quite
common but is especially in urban areas.
The female stock is composed of a large share relatively high women (many
girls are May 7 & # 8243; on September 5 & # 8243;) which are semi-chubby
part, but a large are slim and petite. Combined with typical Scandinavian
look, this means that some chicks are extremely pretty: here a man found 9s
once in a while and a steady supply of 7s and 8s.
As a result of mass immigration, a man also meet women from Eastern Europe,
the Middle East, South America and East Asia as well. Combined with the
fact that many Norwegian men & # 8211; Of course, this excludes South
Korean players & # 8211; betas are rounded, it is safe to say that the
general low competition, although some guys are also very beautiful.
Language barrier
Norway is part of the northern branch of the largest Germanic branch of the
tree of Indo-European language. This means it is very similar to Swedish
and Danish & # 8211; Swede as I understand about 90% of all words & # 8211;
and many are similar to English, Dutch and German.
I am not suggesting that this is a super smooth process to learn Norwegian,
but not nearly as difficult to deal with let s say Korean or Russian (it
seems, since I've never learned a Slavic language). Since the Norwegians
tend to speak fairly decent English you should have no problem being there
linguistically integrated, especially if you work in a more international
company where most of the staff to communicate through English.
Work permits, wages and accommodation
If a man is a citizen of an EU and / or EEA, a work permit can not be even
necessary. However, a US citizen could need. Examples of seasonal work are
forestry, agriculture and horticulture, fish processing, the catering
industry and the tourism industry.
In this regard, it is wise to live in a shared apartment and a semi-austere
lifestyle. Norway is very expensive and if you indulge in alcohol, food,
shopping, and other hedonistic activities that you have to say da hei
(goodbye in Norwegian) for most of your savings. The monthly cost for a
room in an apartment shared by example Bergen is between about 340-530 US
dollars. A one-bedroom apartment costs about 1100 US dollars.
On the other hand, a man with a certain discipline can earn and save a lot
in just 6 months. For example, in fish process industry workers earn 162
kroner, or about $ 21 per hour. Since you are working about 160 hours a
month, wage translates about 2300 US dollars after tax, but you can easily
work more than 160 hours in many areas. So expect at least $ 9,000 in net
savings of 6 months work in places like Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen, Stavanger,
Tromso and Alesund.
A man working in engineering, computer engineering or finance can easily
double or triple that amount, even taking into account higher costs for
food and accommodation. One of the riskiest but most well-paid professions
is diving at sea, which comes with a gross income of around 70-80 000 per
year.
Tourism
Cities and towns in Norway are usually interesting, but Tromso and Alesund
are quite unique, picturesque and worth a visit. The same is the case with
the Geirangerfjord. It is expensive to travel to the country, so be
prepared or go with the car and bring a tent if you want to save money.
I also recommend hiking in the mountains or a trip to Iceland, located
about 2 hours and 40 minutes Norwegian flight hubs like Oslo.
In summary
Needless to say, there are advantages and disadvantages to work abroad if
there is a first world country as the starting point. Why go to Norway or
Switzerland where you can work in the US, UK, Canada, Australia or Germany?
I think part of the key is the whole new experience together with the
opportunity to save a significant amount of money and the date of exoticism
who are tired of their men.
