What are the Pros and Cons of living and working in Finland


What are the Pros and Cons of living and working in Finland?
I plan to live and work in Finland sometime in the future. I'm also going to school for Radiology; is there a good outlook for this career in Finland? ANY information you can provide on making the actual move and finding a job is also greatly appreciated. :)

I'm not quite sure about how popular this career is in Finland but I can give you some advice on living and language, Accommodation and living for most is deemed pretty expensive you would need a job. As you say future I would suggest you start on learning Finnish prompt because to be in a medical based career in Finland would require you to speak Finnish fluent. It's extreamly difficult to find a job with little Finnish and swedish also. The best thing you can do is try and find a Finnish teacher where you live, learn while you are looking for a job on the internet. Make sure you have everything set up before you actually make the move. Here is a link where you can chose between Finnish Courses, you learn, speak write, review and submit your work and native finns will rate and correct your work, it's very good. http://www.livemocha.com/ This website is great for learning Finnish it's informative, great fun and has audio. http://www.uuno.tamk.fi/ http://www.oneness.vu.lt/fi/ Here are some Finnish language games.. http://www.digitaldialects.com/Finnish.htm If ever you need help with pronunciation here's a great/amusing link. just insert any Finnish word you want to hear and click kuuntele puhe (listen to speech) http://www.mikropuhe.com/demo.asp Get learning, do your research and have fun. Good luck :)
