I'm Canadian/French and already live in Denmark. Have done so since late 2005. I have a CPR number, I have a job, I took all Danish classes and passed all language exams. I'm a few years away from being eligible for citizenship. I have a girlfriend and even a little baby girl.
So what's my issue? Well, I have no career.
Back in Canada, I did go to university, but not knowing what I wanted to do in life, I have a worthless bachelor's degree.
As work, I would paint. Paint store windows, murals and even people. It was fun, and I lived in a city where this was possible. Things are different in Denmark. It was still an irregular source of income so it's not an option as a family man.
I currently work at a newspaper and while any work experience is an asset, it's not a career so I can't do this forever.
Realistically, I'm probably not returning to university and earn a master's degree. It would take too much time. So I am willing to settle for less. Maybe a vocational school or something like that. Not sure what position to aim for though.
I must point out that money is not that important to me. I just want a fairly stable job and be able to build a decent nest egg for the next 25-30 years.
