Hmmm, here's something that might work out for you.
Socialism has never managed to create anything beyond corpses, poverty and oppression.

Not without ability to communicate in Finnish. There is pretty much 0 need for customer service staff who cannot communicate with customers in their preferred (and possibly only) language.

There in Tampere many foreign students are working in the early morning to deliver the newspapers. That is no doubt tough job, but it is not very hard to get in Tampere, and it pays well compared to the time spent, and since you are in need, you might want to try that.
Good luck.

I know a few people without Finnish working in McDs, but of course they are flipping the burgers and squirting the dressing and not talking with customers...
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
