Come with me to Norway. I was looking into it a year ago, and am again now.
The country is a Klondyke, it's one of the richest countries in the world, and not very far from home.
A mate of mine was sacked from down-hill driven Volvo, he was working a forklift. He got a job in Norway being basically company, no nursing, to a handicap man. His first pay, for five weeks was 44,000 (after tax) Norwegian kr. That's £4400.
Mind, the country is extremely expensive. A pack of fags, a beer and a pizza will cost you £25-30, but if you can take one year just making money, not spending it, and instead of being out drinking most of the time you're home writing, you'd (a) get a shitload of money doing the simplest of jobs (b) and this will play high on your CV, you have worked abroad, which will always impress anyone out to hire back home.
I know you don't want to work as a barman the rest of your life, but I think you could clinch a job quite easily working as one (or bar manager) in Norway, earning silly money.
I don’t know if you’re still with that girl and that complicates things, but if you’re not, by Zeus, this is not a bad move I’m suggesting.
I have not details to provide right now for you about English coming to Norway to work. The country is not a EU member (see the smart and the rich staying out of that shite?).
As a Swedish citizen, I’d pay 23% tax the first year. Imagine that.
And half of November is tax free.
I’m serious, EIM, you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere as far as I read, maybe this is a temporary move you could consider.
Let’s go make Oslo unsafe together.
PM me if you want to stay in touch about it.
