Is there a need for my profession?

[Nage]

As I said before, luckily enough I already spent some time in Finland with the locals and I didn't meet a person even similar to Pursuivant, so I realize that this people here are not representing the real picture of Finland.

I know that being a philosophy teacher in Finland is a long shot, that's why I stated that my masters is open and I can sign just about anything in that branch of science. If someone would come to Slovenian forum with the same question, I know I could be of great help, because I know what kind of professions are more and what kind less desired.

Here everyone was thrilled, how can someone who studies philosophy tell someone that he is gay. I don't really think I even want to talk to that kind of people (rinso: please do me a favour and click yourself to the 1st page and check who STARTED with the insults).

Regarding the "stealing jobs" part, here I will use a quote from Maddox (http://maddox.xmission.com/), same thing, just in America:

News flash: immigrants aren't taking anything from Americans. Companies like WalMart are giving jobs to them illegally. If WalMart paid a company to hire immigrants to do the job over Americans then there's probably a good reason for it. I'm sick and tired of lazy gluttonous Americans bitching about immigrants "taking" our jobs. It's not like they can literally come to America, ambush us in the parking lot and take our jobs. If you lose your job to an immigrant, it's probably because he or she was willing to work harder for less money. Don't want to pay them full wages? Then don't hire them. If they do equal work, then they deserve equal pay. It's just that simple, and I'm not going to sit back like every other racist piece of !"#¤% bitching about having to work harder because there's a little competition for my job, immigrant or otherwise. I know I can do my job better than anyone, and if an immigrant thinks he can do a better job than I can, I welcome him to try.

I know that Finnish language is hard, but I have my sweet time to learn it, even if I don't immigrate there will be no damage done, I speak 4 languages and can easily learn a new one, I can move to some other country or stay here, just the idea of spending my whole life in the same state bores me. Going somewhere else, learning new language, getting adopted to new culture, there's the thrill. Finland just happens to fit my interests the most as far as I can tell, but if I cannot make a future there - no biggie, it's not the only country in the world. Still some people were helpful here, and I'm very grateful for the information.

BTW; I will proceed with learning the language, even if I'm 100% I won't immigrate, it is just so different from other Indo-European languages I currently speak, that I believe it will affect my way of thinking a bit more. I believe if you begin to think with a different system of processing information through your brain, you subconsciously start to see and understand things in a new perspective. Also this: imagine one good friends of yours and his or her name. Sometimes you just KNOW that his or her name couldn't be anything else, that this is the only one that totally fits him/her - even before he/she was born it was meant for him/her (sometimes I wish English would have "han"). Same can be with words sometimes, we get emotionally attached to them and some fit most, some fit less to the objects that they symbolize. I was just explaining my friend the other night, that in a no language that I know, nothing describes a bear more than KARHU This is really one and only appropriate word for bear. And the magic behind the sound of the words can help you see the world in a (slightly) different way. But that is just mine opinion, I cannot prove anything.

Newsflash: this isn't America

[Pursuivant]

i was attacked so harshly it ALMOST made me re-consider coming here! Perhaps that is the plan of these people though? to scare off potential immigrants??

Oh, so did you then find your teaching job straight off the airplane? We were wrong were we? Peaches and cream everything? The light shone out of your arse just because of your perfect English?

[Nage]

I thought that you are just frustrated, but now I see that you have problems understanding basic statements. Now I REALLY want you out of this thread.

(why don't people understand "go be gay somewher else" when you tell them and make my life much easier? Pursuivant, you're like a fly I have to constantly put away with my hand while trying to have a lunch.)

You study philosophy & theology and then plan to move on to physco-analism and you expect to find a job anywhere
If I was you I would have serious chat with your careers adviser I think hes been having a laugh at your expense !
So to answer your original question NO

Off to the nunnery.

[Pursuivant]

Well there are always niche jobs, and you can win in the lottery too. Best recommendation for Nagy though would be to apply to study philosophy in Finland, as to find a niche job one needs a network. With a network you can find a job even your thesis was on "oedipal complex in shepherd boys during sheep gelding" or some such very highbrow useful sublect. With a foreign degree its doubly as hard if not impossible, and the lack of the network is a serious obstacle.
