Oil prices are lowest of all of Western Europe, I remember

Well, the state owns all the oil and keeps saving all the money from it while roads, schools, hospitals, etc are deteriorating... |

Unless you're an executive, a manager, an accountant or something, you don't earn that in a supermarket here. Even after 30 years.
We have high prizes to weigh up for that
I actully made 20€ an hour at my summer job last year. All my 17€ supermarket friends were jealous.
I trust you, but I'm amazed. Question is : which taxes are included or excluded from that sum of money ?
Because here, the minimal wage is 9,40 €/h, which makes it a net of about 7 €/h. As we work an average of 152 h / month, you do the math, and the minimal monthly wage is somewhere between 1 050 and 1 100 € net, monthly.
Earning 80 % more for a random supermarket job is just incredible.
Maybe I should move to Norway and find a job not too far from the beaches.
Taxes excluded, We're not Luxembourg 
Oh, and engineers are in high demand here ( which is part of the reason I applied for Mechanical Design engineering at the local uni) and there are some pretty nice beaches in the south east (Vestfold representin' ) and once every thrid year or so we have actual summers! (this year is not among them)
How hard can it be?

I think if you set your foot in Kongsberg as a job-seeking engineer you will get a job immediately. It's the Siliicone Valley of Norway |

Norway is not exactly the kind of foreign place I'd first think of, if considering a move abroad, but it's good to know.
I'll keep it in a corner of my mind, just in case. |

In Kongsberg there is also a big international community as I said on the previous page, I know about Portuguese, Americans, Italians, Brits and even a Frenchman, I think, who works there. The working language is English, and then I mean everything. My maths teacher is English and used to work as an engineer there |

No beaches though . Just endless forrested hills... and a ski resort, which is better than beaches if you ask me.
How hard can it be?

You also have most of the best ski resorts under 2 hours away. It takes an hour to Oslo by train.. |

Got through my first Tour de France as a journalist. Almost as tough as actually riding it, I imagine |

Most working class people make 25 bucks an hour here... if they half tenure and are hard working. Your country must be super rich.
