Just heard today that supposedly somebody will pay you for pine cones that you collect.


As long as there are young men with the light of adventure in their eyes or a touch of wildness in their souls, rapids will be run.

I get it! But what can i write about my work expeirience or abillities? im just 18 year odl! Who's gonna belive me .... i have been working like waiter since 15! by the way.. again i think it doesnt work bcz i dont speak any Finish ...so the job that maybe someone would offered me will be like Cleaner! I mean something that wont have to be with comunicating people..Thats what im searching for!!!
here is tip for you and anyone who decides to come to another country.
Dont expect that a non communicating job will do anything else than waste your time in this life, even more so in finland where the cost of actual living is higher than its perceived .Those jobs are 9-11 euro hr jobs and the poor line here is 13euro hr, just ask a fin , they dont want to get out of bed for less than 13, and theres a reason why, anything under 13 gets you know where, unless of-course you are just doing work to for food money.

It says that people can make 100-200e/day collecting pine and spruce cones. Thus while it was supposed to be funny (imo), the reality is that people get money for collecting pine cones.

If you don't know enough Finnish to read news, you might get the gist of the story by running it through translate.google.com...

It was somewhat meant as a joke. But it could also be a viable option for someone with no Finnish language skills and no experience. At least it could put some food on the table.

If you use Google Chrome as your browser, it will automatically translate pages into whatever language you want. Very handy :thumbsup:
