Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Not easy; to get a decent job anywhere, you really need 4 things:

1. Relevant experience.
2. Relevant/valid qualification.
3. Speak the local language.
4. Luck.

You need to find a job, so how?聽 Try joining LinkedIn and reaching out to your peers already in Sweden to find out who is hiring, where and how much they are paying, you'll then know if this is even a starter and who to send your CV to.

You also need to consider whether Sweden is really the place to escape to, currently, the Trump equivalents in Sweden (and in many other EU countries) are on the rise, so I would really consider how wise a move this would be.聽 You mention Asylum, while it's possible, Sweden appears to be actively discouraging this in favour of what you are trying to do (finding a job and somewhere to live without expecting the Government to pick up the tab); whatever, they have a website with the details of how, this will take you straight to it.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you so much for the details! Yeah, unfortunately this poison is spreading through disinformation. Russia鈥檚 at the center of it. It doesn鈥檛 matter what NATO country you go to, the tentacles are everywhere. But seeing what鈥檚 happening to the U.S. may help people discern where the threat lies and act to prevent it and educate their citizens on it.

I did join LinkedIn a while back, your suggestion has given me an idea. Thank you!

Not a problem, perhaps consider Canada as an option?

Canada has the same problems America does when it comes to corporations exploiting workers and billionaires influencing policies. I鈥檓 trying to get away from that.

You'll get that wherever the marketplace creates the right conditions to attract these people; perhaps get a cabin up in the mountains, then all you have to worry about are the bears.

I understand that is the case, greed exists everywhere. But it also permeates society in varying degrees. I鈥檝e experienced what happens when it overtakes that country鈥檚 entire political and economic modus operandi.

America has always been driven by greed and what it can get for cheap or for nothing at all. Our culture and our entire economic system is built around the freedom to take whatever valuables people have (including time, intellect, and talent), and paying them near nothing in return鈥攊f anything at all.

I believe people who work hard deserve to be treated with dignity, not as though they should be grateful for every coin their masters give for their labor. And I believe that countries should be communities, everyone working together to care for one another, for even the weakest and the sickest among them, instead of each having to compete in everything just to put food on the table. Competition is well and good, a bit of greed is okay too, but not when you put those things above your fellow citizens.

Wherever I end up moving, I want it to be somewhere where I can live those ideals and contribute to sustaining them for others. And if I see echoes from what I lived here occur there, I鈥檒l know to speak up against them.

Maybe Malta? But you would have to direct your question in that forum.

@SimCityAT

What I鈥檝e done today is sign up in a recruiting agency! And they鈥檒l be going through my CV with me聽 馃��. Shall see where it goes! For the moment, I鈥檓 learning Swedish, resisting the regime, hating everything they do to us and our allies, and trying not to lose my sanity in the process.

@Moonflower88

I wish you good luck, it's certainly is scary times across the world as Cynic pointed out. I quite understand you concern when you think we have 4 years of Trump and he has only been in power a couple of months.
