What is the best way to leverage my heritage (pic related) to get an inexpensive, quality education and a relatively high salary? I have a bachelor's in engineering from a large state school.

>> No.57505795

>>57505690
Get a master's in Norway (or possibly elsewhere in Europe), should be free or at least cheap compared to America. Then get a job in America for the high salary.

Another option: get a master's in Switzerland and then get a job in Switzerland. Master's I imagine would be cheaper than America but more expensive than most of Europe. Salaries will be less than America but more than elsewhere in Europe. I guess this is a good option if you don't want to move around as much and would consider settling down in Switzerland, which is a nice country.

>> No.57505838

>>57505795
A master's in Norway is tempting. Are there english language programs there?

As for switzerland, I would fucking love to live there but it is so goddamn expensive it makes me cry. I also don't speak pissgerman, which is also a bit of a problem for the long haul. I have a small background in French and Norwegian and would prefer either of those languages if possible. I would be open to study in switzerland but I think I'm too dumb for EFPL and ETHZ (at least to succeed at a reasonable level)

They do. For example:
https://www.oslomet.no/en/study/master
Apparently it's only 1000 NOK (~90 euro) per semester! I checked the EPFL and it seems to be around 750 CHF per semester which is cheaper than I expected.

English programs seem to be really common in Europe in general.

This seems to be a good website to search for master's across Europe:
https://www.study.eu/
I guess look into France and maybe Belgium as well if you want to use your French.

You have the degree already. Move to the US and do engineering, it pays way better. Look for a city/state that maximizes income while having a low cost of living.

>> No.57512328

>>57505690
Well you have a bachelors degree already, so I don't understand what you want now education wise?

If I were you, I would arrange to get a WFH tech sales job somewhere in the US. Get a low cost of living apartment in a city with good spillover effects economy wise and low taxes. Dallas is probably a good bet (hottest girls) although it is getting pricier.

While making money, start an online business on the side and scale that.

Once your biz revenue doubles your real job month to month, start slacking and slowly get severance package buyout.

Sell biz for 4-5 multiple and return to Norway to buy a huge property, retired and create big family.

No expertise on the Norway tax code, but here in Italy there is zero property tax for your house if you live there. ZERO.

Thats my escape plan (currently running a biz and selling software online in Arizona) Good luck to you fren!

Based citizenship by descent bro. I did this too, in fact I found out that I was already an Irish citizen by birth - if you have an Irish parent it literally takes 20 business days to get a second passport. It's incredible.

A couple of things to take account of:
>look at places where a norweigian passport can get you visa free (it is an incredibly powerful passport)
>make sure you understand US extraterritorial tax before you move abroad
>understand what opportunities exist for you overseas (especially w/ american corporations that need an employee with a strong second citizenship)

Congrats anon, many opportunities await you abroad. Let me know if you have any questions.

Also, if the job you're looking for is full wfh - look for countries with non-dom tax regimes. Places like Malaysia for example will not tax foreign-earned income, so you can, effectively, live in KL, JB, or Penang tax-free.

With very few exceptions, USA is by far the highest earning potential market in the world for skilled professionals and its not even close. THe only exception is if you have chronic medical issues because US will fucking ass rape you over that.

Like I posted above, the goal should be to make as much money as possible in the USA and go back to Norway to live / retire / raise family. I am very partial to Norway from an outdoorsman / hiking type / vacation / quality of life mindset but I know taxes are very high if you make a lot.

Recap. Go to US. Get rich. Get the fuck out asap. I fear for the long term safety of decent white folk like you in the US. Norway has problems to be sure, but by and large their government is highly competent and not in the EU fully.

>Recap. Go to US. Get rich. Get the fuck out asap.
That's pretty much what I've ascertained. Also being in tech the US is the epicenter of startup capital so cutting ties completely until I have fuck you money would be a very silly endeavor.

>I fear for the long term safety of decent white folk like you in the US.
We'll be just fine. I would love to live abroad while I'm earning, but it seems like, at this point, there's no better place to earn than in the states, despite taxes being quite high.
