i am an american. i am asking for help / advise. i believe i would like to move to denmark or sweden. or, anywhere that is not america; it has been my experience that this nation has severe problems in structure for the majority of her populous. i am 25yrs. old. what i need to find out is what to expect from the nation i move to. can i get a job and home? will the government ask me to leave?
i saw that denmark says if you do not have a job for a month you will be asked to leave. right? i am in university now and i am also trained to work for construction.
i would take work. lorry, custodial, whatever. is it possible to just move in and get a job with ease?

also what other forum shall i try to post within?

any and all insight will be appreciated.
cheers

Hello.
The best sources of information are the US embassies or consulates of the coutries you are interested in. Usually they have web sites giving some details about immigration.
I don't know about Denmark or Sweden, but for Norway, you can find details here. Basically I think that as you are non european, you need to find a job before being allowed to go to norway. You can contact a norwegian embassy or consulate in the US for more details.
