If one wants to live in a foreign country, probably Europe, what jobs are realistic to consider?

Translation is pretty much useless in Scandinavia without other skills. Scandinavians tend to have excellent English, and use employees with language skills to do translation work (I know, because I've done it myself for the electronics company I worked with). I have a friend that's an actual translator in Sweden, the pay is low and the work very unsteady, even though he's one of the most sought after translators in the country (for media). If you want to truly have a chance of finding work in Europe, don't bother with translation, it's not in demand unless you have great knowledge of an obscure language.

If you want to live in Europe, you need to figure out what country, first. Then you need to learn the language to a comfortable fluency level, written and spoken, and understand a variety of dialects. If you want to move to Scandinavia, I recommend Norwegian bokmål, because you will generally be understood by Swedes and Danes (and understand them). French will help in many countries mid-continent.

In order to have any chance of getting a work permit, you need to be highly skilled, specialized and in demand. Healthcare (medical doctors and nurses are always needed), technology, engineering, sciences, qualified teaching (any subject), construction/building (highly educated). Offshore work in Norway pays incredibly well, and there aren't enough people in Norway to do all the work. It's one of the easiest ways to get into Europe with a work permit, but you have to be skilled. For this, you need a degree in geology, chemistry, engineering, oceanography, marine biology (focus on statistics/math) or something similar, preferably with side studies in business/administration/project management.

Translation/interpretation is a great field to go into because there is always a need, and you can essentially live wherever you want.

But it's not as simple as that. I'm not sure; are you already qualified and certified? When you decide to go into translation/interpretation, you have to have a speciality, and you have to speak whatever languages you're t/i VERY well. It's not enough to be fluent; you have to be completely bilingual and bicultural.

That said, if you're good enough, there's a plethora of places you could work. To work for the UN, you usually need at least three of the big six: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.

You could do freelance translation, which is a good way to keep your options open and make a nice amount of money on the side.

Good luck!

First thing you'll need to know is that Europe is a continent, not a country.

If you are not an EU national you'll need a work permit.

Various countries have differing criteria regards immigration and the issue of work permits. If you have a skill that is in demand in a particular country then that is half the battle. Check with each individual country for the current legislation and eligibility criteria.

<<If abortion is authorized, then how come nations that permit it recollect killing a fetus a homicide ?>> Just due to the fact some thing it authorized doesn't suggest it is proper. <<If abortion is authorized then we will have to count on that fetus isn't a human.>> There's a cause you are not able to spell 'count on' with out '***'. People who count on an excessive amount of become making asses of themselves. <<But in nations snip homicide, how come?>> Doesn't make feel, does it - and but, there you're advocating persons simply ASSUME the federal government is proper! <<The contest of the girl, being authorized, and the scientific process isn't excuse neither a change. So it's both each are homicide or each are NOT. Right ?>> WRONG! <<Marc, maybe you're too identification**t to realise the query and positioned the reply "Not">> Ad hominem assaults harm your credibility. Perhaps Marc, like me, does not see an excessive amount of in the way in which of credibility whilst studying your query. <<mnwomen you're snip is NOT homicide.>> The time period "fetus" actually way "the younger within the womb". The fetus IS a residing person. Life starts at notion, now not beginning nor a few arbitrary factor in among. Therefore, each abortion constitutes the homicide of an unborn person. <<If it's NOT human then killing it's NOT a homicide.>> But the fetus IS human. Therefore, abortion IS homicide. <<No change among snip and dull creativeness.>> What's so slender minded approximately acknowledging the unborn for the residing humans they're? Since you are not able to do this, would not that advise your brain is actually extra slender than mine? <<Billy, did you snip individual NOT 2.>> That simply is going to exhibit how schizophrenic human associations can also be - and also you desire to ASSUME such an college (the federal government) is proper.

What Elizabeth said.

I just want to add: the salary for a nurse in Norway is a lot better than in the countries around, so if you think health-care, this may be a good option.

A legal job is difficult to obtain; but only your imagination limits your employment in other endeavors.
