rahvin: You have to understand that "the dots" we use up here are very important to us, and not something that is supposed to be taken easily. Never joke about a northmans dots.

Happily enough you're not joking about them. ;)

Hail all the ä's and ö's! :worship: (and possibly some of the å's, too :p )
 
i'm ordering rahvin's dot-books (he will need time to figure out he should not be connecting said dots, 'mafraid) in this precise moment. but i'm not a part of the conspiracy.
 
i might be. but it's unfair. i conspire with you, you get books and futures. you conspire with me, i get exam papers and kicks in the ass.

EVIL.
 
rahvin does. but rahvin is a tad miffed that he'll get his dot-books no sooner than next month, thanks to lazy expeditioners overseas. :bah:
hopefully i'm still a fast learner when it comes to languages so i could reach a decent level of understanding and speaking soon enough to start looking for some opportunities in the area, or connected to the area, in the summer.
 
@cot and all the swedes: how do you look for a job there? do you have institutional (and functioning) job-shops or is it something that works more through personal contact?
 
Mostly it's well functioning job-shops I guess, but as in every country, a few personal contacts might be a much smoother way to your well-paid full time job. I think that I haven't got a job yet because the employer looks at my CV and my marks and sees that I'm young and ambitious and thinks "this boy won't stay here long, only until he have decided what he wants to do at uni" and then throws my papers in the rubbish bin.
 
No man, I'm just messing with you

@fire: it depends on the job. actually, what cot said is not new to me at all. if you apply for a job you are overqualified for (or you are clearly going to be overqualified for in a short while, because you're going to get further education) there is a strong probability you won't be hired, because employers tend to want dunderheads in dunderhead jobs, and smart people in smart jobs. this happens for two reasons: one, dunderhead jobs are often slightly underpaid and those working in them might be also slightly abused by their bosses, and while the typical dunderhead does not complain, possibly the smart person could raise a ruckus and diminish productivity. two, if the bosses need to have someone to fill the place for a number of years (which does not happen often in this day and age, but it might still be the case), they don't want said person to get up and walk away as soon as they reach a new educational qualification. to sum up: good grades from a trade school are good for high-school level jobs, while good grades from a school that might lead to university are not good; they'll be good, along with university grades, for graduate-level jobs.

this is true if we're talking about the private sector. the public sector, on the other hand, favors overqualification in the countries where collective contracts exist and union activity is strong: the career steps are more or less fixed in an effort to grant everyone's rights, so nobody can be much of a troublemaker. also, the reduced competition also somehow brightens the mood, removing one of the reasons to embrace troublemaking itself.

@cot: what are your possible uni choices?
 
fireangel: If I'm applying for a job as stockkeeper at a company trading with furniture for example, then the boss there doesn't give a shit about my high marks in courses as photography, social science, history, maths and so on. But he understands that it isn't a person who's going to stay there for long. And I think that the boss does want his personal to stay at least a couple of years, because if he has to hire a someone new after six months, then he has to advertise in the papers again which costs money (oh the almighty money!) and the new guy will have to learn all the routines which takes its time, and before he has learned the routines, he's not 100 percent efficient.

hyena: 1) Something called "Europe programme" an interdisciplinary education which might lead to a job in the EU government (my way to become president of the EU :D )
2) Taking a master's degree in politices. (don't know if that makes sense in English. Magsec?)
3) Computer linguistics programme.
4) Law school (probably not this. Then I will become a greedy brat)

Magsec: I've done a little research, although I didn't managed to translate "chem/process engineers". But it doesn't seems to matter that much. Overall it seems that there is a good chance of getting a job no matter the alignment, and the salaries for a engineer seems to be about 1800 - 1900 USD in the beginning of the career, and for a experienced engineer up to 4500 USD. All according to the Swedish labour market board.

Ah, you didn't have to go do research, but thanks. Well, there actually are big differences regarding the different types of engineering, in opportunities, the work, salary, education, etc..
Are these monthly figures?
Thanks again.

2) Taking a master's degree in politices. (don't know if that makes sense in English. Magsec?)
