You don't say where you are from, if it's the EU you have a wider choice of possibilities since you can move to the Nordic countries to look for work. If you are from outside the EU, you'll need specialised, in-demand skills to find work here. It's very difficult to get a work permit for general labor or unskilled work. There is a lot of offshore/petroleum work available, especially in Norway, so that would be a good choice. Here are some possibilities, the more education and experience you have in that field, the better: -Engineering (petroleum/offshore, mechanical, chemical, electrical/electronic would probably be the best choices). -Some sciences (chemistry, geology). -Some technology, although you'll need extensive education/experience because there are many lower-level tech workers. -Healthcare professions (nurses, doctors, etc) are in high demand. -Qualified teaching, a graduate degree is best. If you want to work in the Nordic countries long term, it would make things much easier for you to learn a local language. While it's possible to get oil/gas work with only English, this usually means working for a British company in Norway. If you speak a Scandinavian language, you have more chance to be hired directly.

you should be able to do it. It's still a phone, so you'll be roaming, & e-mail you can check anywhere you have acess to wifi.
2 :
I would check with AT&T to see if it will work and if it does what type of roaming charges will apply.
3 :
I think your going to have to pay hella $$ for international roaming minutes.. If your moving just switch companies, if your vacation / business etc then just limit your use.
4 :
i went out of the country (to europe) and i know that it will not work unless you get an international plan thing, just call AT&T for the additional info. and yes you would still be able to check email :)
5 :
no insult intented, i dropped at&t about 13 years ago and never looked back. verizon or sprint are reality today. dump the chump carrier and get with the times. i dont work for either of the two above, i swear by them.
6 :
Yes, but you're going to pay a lot of money to do it. There are a number of international plans you can buy: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/affordable-world-packages.jsp When I travel there, I just use internet cafes to check my email. For a phone, I used Mobal. You can buy a phone for $50, and then just purchase a SIM card for 12 Euros or so for all your local calls. http://www.mobalrental.com/

Would Canada and/or the USA allow you to work with a degree from Finland

Would Canada and/or the USA allow you to work with a degree from Finland?
Education is free in places like Finland and Norway and probably others... but if a Canadian or American went there to go to school and then came back to North America.. would their degree be recognized if it is from Finland or Norway? Would some degrees be ok but not others? -social work degree -psychology degree -nursing degree -teaching degree

Sure. A degree is a degree.
2 :
Check with the state Dept. Of Education, office of the professions.
3 :
no. youb ahev to have some wierd thing, but obviously you dont have it. so youd have to come here and do it all over if you really wanted to. cuz, like theres docs from like india who are WAY WAY WAY WAY SWAYWA WYAWAYWYAYAYW better than docs here, but since they dont have a degree for here, they cant do anything, it was oliema total waste of time :)

I think you're on to something with the list. Specific locations require specific certifications. I know a teacher from Florida who wasn't allowed to teach in another state until she received a specific certification. But there is no global convention for normal jobs - such as office work / wall street etc. It's just a matter of convincing the employers of your qualifications. Now, in America, we do require work visas (green cards) - which has nothing to do with a degree. I don't believe they are hard to get if you are a skilled worker - but I've never tried - being American by birth.
