If yes, where would you move to?

If no, why not?

I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

Iā€™ve reconnected with extended family in Norway. Iā€™m in the U.S.

Norway is difficult to immigrate.

I looked into it. I personally would like to continue working as a Paramedic and Iā€™ve actually been on a Norway ambulance for a ride along.

In order for me to work I would be required to do all of these things:

  • Pass a language test

  • Pass 3 separate medical exams that are all in the Norwegian language.

Unfortunately, Iā€™m not motivated enough for all of that.

Luckily, Iā€™m in one of the best states in the U.S. and see zero reason to relocate for the remainder of my time on Earth. Which, climate change may make it just a few more years. Or, even possibly WW3.

Massachusetts consistently ranks very high. Unfortunately, itā€™s very expensive.

There are pockets of areas that might have low enough cost to buy, but, significant distance from Boston.
