    Climatizing yourself with an outdoor winter sports hobby will probably get the most of our lovely winter.
    Either cross country skiing or alpine skiing. You’ll get the most of the brief climpses of the sunlight and enjoy the warmth inside the houses even more after that.

      The best method of aclimatization is to leave beyond the polar circle for a month on a polar night, and then go back.

    To clarify, this is for people who are watching and think they might just roll up to Finland, not aimed at Mikaela herself.
    Unless you are in academia or something like IT, where English is widely spoken, you will struggle to find work, unless, you are relatively fluent in Finnish. Then there is the problem of qualifications. You need to have certification in almost every job and some other country's qualifications are not recognised. A bachelor's doesn't count for much, people will just wonder why you didn't complete the masters. If you can learn the language, but don't meet any of the other criteria, Mcdonalds or some food delivery companies are usually hiring.

    As a academic, you could use the public statistics from the Finnish Immigration Services to learn that during the last 12 months there were 334 positive decision for the first residence permit for work applications by USA citizens.

    good and interesting video. i just discovered i am half Finnish ( i am 57 and live in the U.S. state of Minnesota) i was always told by my father his parents were all Swedish and spoke Swedish but were born and raised in Kronoby Finland. DNA test showed i am half Fin so they were indeed Finnish too not Swedish. i am hoping to get a residency permit from my grandparents to move to Finland. you don't have to have a certain amount in the bank for that. i srill have cousins there.i too don't want to be in the US anymore. take care

    You are academic😂
    You sound a bit like Sheldon talking about MIT ( The Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the TV series The Big Bang Theory.
    The community college system in USA doesn't look very similar to UASes ( Ammattikorkeakoulu) in Finland. Finnish VET school system, Ammattikoulu, seems much more like it.
    The purpose of vocational education and training (VET) is to increase and maintain the vocational skills of the population, develop commerce and industry and respond to its competence needs.

    Ammattikorkeakoulu is equivalent to college. Bachelor's degree does nothing in Finland. It was added due to EU rules but in Finland it's just a waypoint towards masters. Getting into university is usually more important than having any degree, you'll get jobs: first summer jobs then training, ultimately real jobs. You must have experience when you graduatel Experience is the king and what you can do is revealed in an interview. Learning Finnish opens 1000% more job opportunities - some fields are fully Finnish, not English. Not knowing Finnish will make you more lonely, guaranteed.

      @jalmarihuitsikko7211 6 днів тому +3

      Uhm ammattikorkeakoulu is not college it's university of applied sciences which means it's focused on practical studies. And you get bachelor's degree from ammattikorkeakoulu. I don't know what you are smoking maybe you are talking about american degree that is a bit different thing I guess. I strongly suspect 99% of Finnish engineers are not considering upgrading their bachelor's to master's degree because universities have made it pretty much impossible and bachelor's degree is only thing you need for anything else than some government jobs and like where they have made formal higher education mandatory. Just for your interest. Over 20 years of experience here so you can draw your own conclusions.

      @@just42tube Incentives for taking up part-time work mentioned in this video as is typical for those entering the job market have been reduced significantly, making it harder to reach sufficient living standard especially in the capital Helsinki region. Add to that the aim of government to diminish the role of the unions speaking up for workers and prohibiting political strikes, as well as other constitutional gerrymandering which has already been of international interest of ILO, the blatantly racist overtones of a certain right-wing party it adds up to reduce the positive image of Finland in the eyes of foreign professionals.

      Labor unions aren't political parties and shouldn't be allowed to have power against democratically elected representatives of the people.
      There are political parties and movements, which have the opportunity to follow orderly democratic parliamentary decision making.
      You seem to be against the parliamentary democratic process and the principles of the Finnish constitution. Or it's possible you're unfamiliar with how a parliamentary democracy like Finland should function.

    ill tell you this, i am from kenigsberg russia but i live like a 25 years in Belgium, and i go to Protestant Evangleical Church like for 15 years maybe, and recently an invidted older guy who spent quite some years in Russia as a missionary was preaching and after when i talked to him asking if he speaks any russian, and something like maybe spain came up al, you know what he said, about nordic countries, he basically said like its because of protestantism that they prosper, i mean i do understand the point, but, im not totally sold on like he said that russian and or spain are like backwards or something because they are not protestant. I mean i can agree that God makes all the new stuff or something like that, but im not totally sold that if you are not protestant you are automatically so backwards that you are might not even be a Christian anymore or something or less spiritual because you are not fkn workoholic who wants to kill himself by overworking. I fail to see in the scripture that you must neglect the most prised posession God gave you your body. Just the opposite i think. But that is not taking into account being an immigrant and exploitation. But i guess thats same for americans. No matter if immigrant or not.

    I would not recommend anyone to move permanently from the USA to Finland. Finland does not have any nuclear weapons to protect itself and could be subject to Russian aggression shortly. Finland was a part of the Russian Empire in the past. With the collapse of the Russian Empire during World War I, Finland took the opportunity to declare its full independence (Ukraine did the same in 1991 after the USSR collapse), which was soon recognized by the USSR "in accordance with the principle of national self-determination advocated by Lenin." Finland, which shares a 1,340-kilometer border with Russia, closed all border crossings in November to stem the flow of asylum seekers. The terrorist threat level in Finland is “elevated” (level 2 out of 4). Finland and Russia have been involved in several wars, including the Winter War, the Continuation War, and the Lapland War:
    Finland and Russia include the Finnish Civil War (1917-1918) and the Soviet-Finnish border conflicts (1918-1922).
    Winter War
    The Soviet Union invaded Finland on November 30, 1939, in an attempt to gain political influence and a buffer zone against Germany. The war lasted until March 13, 1940, and Finland was able to resist the Soviet Union's invasion, though it did cede about 10% of its territory.
    Continuation War
    Finland fought alongside Germany and the Axis Powers against the Soviet Union from 1941-1944.
    Lapland War
    Finland fought against Germany from 1944-1945 after signing the Moscow Armistice with the Allied Powers.
    Also, the USA is not the wealthiest country in the world, so look at the US debt clock.
    PhD graduates in the USA are not making money unless they are in the Medical Physics business.
    I think Canada will be the better option for you than Finland.

      As a Finn, having lived most of my life outside Finland, I agree with you. Due to the increased possibility of Russian aggression I wouln't move back to Finland. NATO membership has increased the probability of Russian aggression on Finland rather than reduced it, imo.
