Moving to Sweden

[Potjeh]

I've really grown to hate my job lately (ever since they introduced some impossible deadlines)

jesus, potjeh, do you actually believe majority love their jobs in other countries?

Well, there's a lot of shades between love and hate. And the problem is that at the end of the day I have nothing to show for it, which is really morale-sapping.

It was only profitable for the woman I'm replacing because her husband works as a cop on the same mountain so he did the deliveries for her when he went on patrol in the police cruiser.

Clever.

start an indiegogo campaign to pay for your degree exams and moving expenses, get money, get degree, get the fuck out

I have a feeling that this thread is slowly turning into "who will buy/marry Potjeh?"
Also good luck, I hope you will find a place where you will love to stay and live.

Someone mentioned Norway and that's actually not a bad choice.
A lot of swedes move there to work (for a year or two, mostly) since they've got lots of low-education jobs and better pay.
I hear the fishing industry is in high demand, but don't take my word for it.
My brother moved to Oslo a few years ago and worked in a warehouse for a few months and he made quite a lot (he worked long hours, though).

I don't know how hard it is to find a place to live though, but at least you don't need a work or residence permit.

Just to give you an extra option, but otherwise we're happy to have you. :)

Don't go to Sweden unless you are escaping war/political persecution or if you have a very good education. The best you can hope for is some shitty low-pay jobs; worst case scenario is that you get employed by someone that is trying to abuse the Swedish system which gives them (the employer) a significant amount of money but leaves you with practically nothing. (The only way I see anyone actually enduring that shit is if they have a family to provide for or if they actually came here to escape war/political persecution)

There have been numerous articles about how "jokers" fool poor people from other European countries using lies and unrealistic promises and then giving them a nightmare here that the employees wish they never had to experience.

Furthermore, since you are from Bosnia, it is likely that you do not have an "proper" physical appearance. People here are far more welcoming to people who look as if they are ethnically German/Nordic/Brittish/East-Asian. They are far more suspicious about people who look as if they come from North Africa/Middle East. Massive reasons being: the unwanted kind is overrepresented in criminal statistics. You can't expect people to always be able to control their emotions with their rationality.

If you do for some reason still decide to come here: do not live in any of the larger cities. You'll be considered a 3rd class citizen there and forced to live due to socioeconomic reasons in Swedish "Ghettos" where you'll never ever learn to speak Swedish properly due to the population there speaking in horribly broken Swedish. Instead aim to get employement is smaller cities where the majority of the population is still ethnically Swedish because there the chances are far higher that both you and your children (if you have any) will learn Swedish customs & language (not just the written language but also how you actually pronounce it) and be emotionally accepted by the community. (Stay the hell away from Malmö for instance)

Honestly, it is far better to wait a few years and go to a country where they actually want you and welcome you such as Painhertz' offer. I heard the UK is pretty ok too (basing it on article I read about where people from Somalia are usually doing far better in the UK than they do in Sweden; and yeah Somalis have unofficially the lowest rank among immigrant groups here in Sweden).

Don't know really how to specify. But practically if you look as if you are Indonesian/Chinese/Vietnamese/Japenese/Korean, people will assume that you are a hard worker and take studies seriously. If you on the other hand look as if you come from the "Middle East" part of Asia, people will think more of the crime statistics and patriarchic Islamic culture.
