because of the rampant nepotism, you'll need good contacts to get a decent job, even if you have a good degree and speak english

if i was a forriner who wanted to emigrate to finland, i'd come here to study a master's degree while they are still free and learn finnish and make contacts with finns and not hang around with only other expats

if i were an uklander or an usasian with a shitload of student debt, then i'd think again, because while degrees are free here and you won't get bankrupted for a knee injury, taxes are high for the working middle class

ofc you could just drink all day and let the nordic wellfare state pay for all of your bills and go yell at lazy brown people to go home

I see so many Englishmen come here and never learn how to speak (either) language. I love it here as an immigrant, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Where I'm at, even educated multilingual Finns have a bitch of a time finding a job that's not become the new normal of short-term contract/poor job security/low pay (compared to previous Finnish expectations).

Rolling up in Helsinki and saying "I'm here now" would be a tough row to hoe.

None of the Indians I've know have listened to me when I've told them to learn the drat language. Now they are unemployed or driving a forklift in a warehouse with their M.Sc.Eng. degrees unused in their pockets. They've all stayed here though, because life is still so carefree here.

is it even possible to learn finnish unless you've been imprinted with it from the time you were a little bogling? there must be a reason why the language has no relation to any other language in eurasia and beyond

It's fun to listen to the young dudes at work speak Iraqian with some Finnish words seamlessly thrown in. Also they don't drink so they don't take as much sick leave.

Depends.

Would you rather like to learn a bizarre alphabet that looks like Martian glyphs and makes your brain bleed because half of them look like our regular letters but really is a completely different letter...

...or learn a bizarre language with a horrible syntax that makes your brain bleed, but is really excellent for swearing, but only swearing?
