Possible, yes, probable... hmm... have you heard of the snowball in hell?

So basically you would need a job. You don't speak Finnish, and there are 18-year old computer technicians... theres 12-year olds that can do it, so the "unique skill" you need to get a job=? Now as you want to dodge the draft, getting to school to further your education a bit would not be súch a bad idea. http://www.admissions.fi => theres a few IT-oriented courses in English. Getting married isn't an automatic permit. Don't know how well the Turkish authorities react to say renewing the passport, and you know you can't go on a visit or they'll pack you up into a camoflge suit for 15 months then... Unless you become a Finnish citizen, the Finnish army is only 6 months ;)

Well thanks for your help really :D but 12 years old guys just can format pc and reinstall that :P may you know tht computer hardware technicers are educated to fix big servers of companies and check them :)

I need to dig that picture of me in the engine room with the cray to get the definition of "big" into place :lol: Besides which one needs a security clearance to even look at the cave doors here, so I'd look into the studying bit first.

Well, if you get citizenship before you're 28 in principle you're obliged to do something. Not quite as vindictive as the Turkish army who takes old men too...

And you're 18, you are young, what if something happens in the family. You really won't be going to a wedding nor a funeral before you're 41?

Hey i am sorry about those weird describings of things i want to say in english :D but probably at least you understood what i tried to mean as''big'' :D
Anyways it would be really okay for me to do something for government in there to 6 months and anyways about Finnish language i am going to take a course here in my city next month so may it could help me a bit to learn a bit :)

about family relations,i already have little family so it won't be problem for me.

i want to ask one more question if i am not touching your nerves by asking all the time,if i would like to come as a.u pair do i have to find job in Finland before i come there?or can i find it after i come?anyways there wont be any problem about finding family there i think :) so do you think is it better way to move there?

Yes, you need to have the job before you come here. Au pair jobs are published at http://www.mol.fi and theres agencies as well.
