>>33187739 (OP)Hi OP, don't choose Sweden. We are only open on the surface, in reality we keep inner circles of friends and you can basically only access those by speaking perfect Swedish. However, everyone will switch to English as soon as they hear a foreign accent. The labor market is heavily skewed towards having a higher education unless your local network knows someone, so you won't get a job stocking shelves. The only exception is care for the elderly, which is extremely stressful because the (((companies))) pressure the employees to be as fast as possible, so you go in, fight to shove pills down someone's throat who is extremely depressed and halfway through Alzheimer's taking over completely and just longs for someone to stay for a coffee, and then you have to leave immediately and crush their only social interaction for the day.
The only non-Nordic person I know who has made it into Swedish society in a reasonable time came from a Med country for her master's degree, learned Swedish, forced all of us natives to speak Swedish with her, and got a qualified job. Even so, it took her a year at that job to not be treated like the foreigner, it's a lot of work to get into the inner circle and when you can just go to Norway I don't really see how it's worth it for you. I love this country with all its faults, but I can't recommend it for anyone else.
