Those two things are quite interconnected, sure there are jobs that don't _demand_ Finnish, but then you have to be even better than those that have Finnish skills.
Usually I would put your chances to learn (enough and in short enough time) Finnish from slim to none, but maybe you should check what Kirsikka did...

Thanks you Upphew,
Maybe it will be better to learn Swedish ? Because it's an official language too. And it's surely easier than Finnish.

The areas where that would help you are relatively few and small. And they are more culturally insular. You might learn the language but still be unable to find employment.
As he persisted, I was obliged to tootle him gently at first and then, seeing no improvement, to trumpet him vigorously with my horn.

If you want to work in international logistics in Finland - learn Russian , do not loose your time on Swedish

What do you want from me?????
