Alright Sup Forumsros, I'm sick of America and I'd like to move to Iceland. I have no idea how to do this.

>here's some green text

I speak English, obviously, and also German, having studied 3 years in high school and CLEPed into German 3 in college for a year, but never finished a degree. I've also got a working knowledge of Swedish and, for what it's worth, Anglo-Saxon just from personal studies. So with this, even though I don't yet speak Icelandic, I feel I could pick the language up pretty quickly ad easily. Already from the few web pages I've looked over after searching for articles on making the move and employment opportunities I could make out more than I had expected to be able to going in.

>here's some more green text
>probably seemed more interesting when you thought it was going to be a story

The main issue I foresee standing in the way of my emigration is my lack of formal education and vicariously my employability. I have worked in an office environment for the past several years and have been gainfully employed for my entire adult life, and am entirely self-sufficient. I have typical clerical skills; I type well, I'm good on the phone/conference calls, or in person. I'm organized, dress professionally, and am generally clean-cut. However, everything I've seen so far has either been for temporary employees coming over with an outsourced company, or individuals with specialised educations to work in certain fields. Neither condition do I meet.

>like the Michael Douglas 'Falling Down' kind of hate my job

tl;dr - 26/w/m, hate where I am and what I do. I hope I'm as smart as I think I am, and I don't know how to move to Iceland.

tl;dr: I want to move to Iceland but I'm too lazy to look at Iceland's immigration website

I did that's the second paragraph where I talk about temporary employees with outsources companies and specialised professionals. I am neither and would ideas on how to circumvent that problem.

>never finished a degree

yeah good luck buddy not gonna happen

I realize that's an obvious drawback. That's why I put it in the narrative. I've thought about going back, but the secondary education system in the US appalls me. My fiancé went through almost 5 years to be a middle school teacher and she barely makes more than I do now. Her first job was essentially a tard wrangler. Diapers and screaming and bullshit. Nothing she needed environmental science or forensic biology for. She's got so much debt and not a lot extra to show for it. I love her but from what I feel is an objective point of view, she looks like she got duped by the system. I suppose I could go through the motions to get credentialed on paper, but in the interest of being constructive, for the now I'd just like to find out if and how there might be another way.

iceland is fucking overrated it's a nasty country

there is no mcdonnalds on iceland.

Deutschland über Alles! Mein Bruder

Can you relate some experiences?

nobody wants you there amerigarbage

I don't eat it so I won't miss it, if that's what you mean.

I'm prepared for sentiments of that nature.

>I've also got a working knowledge of Swedish and, for what it's worth, Anglo-Saxon just from personal studies
WTF does this even mean.
>I feel I could pick the language up pretty quickly ad easily.
no.

Maybe once. I'm not so sure given the current state of things under Merkel.

Fuck makes you think you're welcome in Iceland?
Also lol learning old norse/Icelandic "easily" fucking swedes, norwegians and danes struggle to learn it.

I've bought and studied my own textbooks for swedish and Anglo-Saxon i.e. Old English. As northern and western germanic languages I'm already familiar with the grammar, pronunciation, and special characters. I don't speak either like I do English or German, but it definitely helps me at least partially comprehend what I've already tried to read.

Hi, Icelander here.

No chance of you coming here if you are not a refugee and even so we've already taken more than enough of those. No education = Not welcome. You literally don't have a single skill and if you don't speak Icelandic you can expect nothing more than burger flipping or sandwich artistry.

Why don't you simply move to Canada or Mexico?

look buddy your opinion of american universities doesn't matter.

if you don't have a college degree, why would any foreign company want to have you working for them when they can just find one of their own citizens w/o a degree who will work for 1/10th of the price?

there isn't another way to move there unless you marry an icelandic girl or go back to school and get a degree in a specialized field

see

>hurr i can learn icelandic because i know english, can read german and have heard of swedish
kek

Canada has the same social problems that I'm trying to get away from in the US and I would get kidnapped and ransomed in Mexico. I've been a couple times on vacation and I even speak spanish too, but it's not somewhere I'd feel safe on the day to day.

We most definitely do not want or need you here.
Literally nothing worse than americuck immigrants who never learned to use their inside voice

I see, what a great time to live.:))

Sure cousin fucker. When you going to pay back that money Icebank stole from account holders?

Why would a foreign company pay a local 1/10th that of an american?

We voted to keep it.

So what would you suggest? I understand the necessity to be a contributing member of society. I feel I do that here. I want to do it there. I don't want any government subsidies or welfare. I plan to work and earn income and spend that income in the Icelandic economy. My family here doesn't need money, so I won't be sending it home. I want to add not detract.

Funny enough, marry an Icelandic girl is the first bit of advice that actually falls remotely close to what i was looking for with the post.

You can also marry a guy. I'll be that guy if you promise to support my NEET lifestyle

>NEET Lifestyle
That's not a lifestyle, it's simply pathetic

Offer is on the table. If you don't wanna be a statistic any given days mass shooting you hit me up

Lol, OP here that wasn't me. I do have a concealed carry permit, though, so I'm not super worried about that.

Also thank you, no.

Þú mátt ekkert bara koma til íslands og búa hérna eins og ekkert sé. Þetta er mitt fagra hvíta land og ég kæri mig ekkert um að skítugir útlendingar ráfi um götur Reykjavíkur og stela störfum frá duglegum íslendingum. Haltu þig heima, horbjóður.

It wasn't ment to address OP by this:
But the guy who offered you to marry him

America its acontinent not a country stupid niger slave.

>horbjóður
Chuckled

MuriKKKans are just stupid. Iceland won't take him.

No, he can't because he has never lived there.

When did I make that reference?

Directly in your first sentence
>Alright Sup Forumsros, I'm sick of America

Did a coding bootcamp, learnt to code in mother fucking 12 weeks, moved to Sweden, got 3 job offers paying almost twice what I was earning.

Now work from home drinking coffee all day in a nice flat in Stockholm with hot Swedish girlfriend.

Dreams can come true if you literally put your lazy ass on hold for a few weeks.

Man, I'm white, as stated in the original post. Dark blonde and blue eyes. As for just living there for nothing, see...
also check em cuz that was my post

And that is me stating it is a country?

ah, nvm I see your point.

i don't know how it is in iceland but i'm sure it costs more to import foreign workers than to hire local ones. i know in specialized fields that some companies will pay for moving, housing, etc when hiring foreign workers.

i suggest saving the money, time and effort and just move to the opposite side of the country or something. save some money up and go back to school if you are really adamant about emigrating.

you habe no degree you fucking burgerflipper, from what you wrote you habe no Value to Island or any other Nation for that matter

thank you. first bit of real advice i can do something with. can you point me in the direction of a resource? where do i start with that?

And now in english pls

You have no degree, you have little to nothing that makes you interesting for an employer, your nice picture does make me think that you have extremist views, and people with extremist views usually practise or at least endorse violence.

How are you different from any Sharia-hungry islamist? You might be better educated, but you'd still pollute society. Maybe in a different way, yes.
You want to get out of your country because you don't like it there, same as a lot of refugees from Arab countries or Eastern Europe. You bitch about Germany's border policies, yet youself are hoping to take advantage of lash immigration laws. I hope you see the irony.

Start here.

Try and find something full stack javascript if you want an easy time finding work. Fuck the ones that are full stack ruby.

Or move to Slovenia. Free university even for Yanks, taught in English too.

You raise valid points and the juxtaposition is not lost on me. I don't, in fact, endorse violence, have never actually been in a fight in real life. I believe it's necessary sometimes as a last resort, unique to every circumstance individually. I don't consider myself extremist, but that's what you'd expect me to say. I do hold with a fair few right wing ideologies but I like to think my opinions are grounded. My fiancé is asian, and one of my long-time best friends and roommates was from el salvador. My intention isnt to flaunt my multicultural lifestyle with that information I only feel it might add to your understanding. I'm open to other cultures. I do believe the concept of blut und boden holds truth, though.

You the real MVP

OP here, gotta go get a haircut, I'll leave the window open and check in when i get back.

Roll up your sleeves boys, it's time to post some gay pr0n.

Lol OP again
Found the thread on my phone in the car.

I guess every thread devolves into something similar eventually. I suppose it could just have easily been Spider-Man or bananas.

don't go...iceland is expensive as fuck

I’ve considered this. I’ve been to the Bahamas a couple times and have seen what an island economy is like, if only for short periods of time.

Not sure if this has been covered already, but Icelandic is fucking hard. It’s one of the most ancient languages still spoken today. You are not going to be able to pick it up easily with a working knowledge of Swedish. I have a pretty solid understanding of Danish and Icelandic is almost incomprehensible.

But like 95% of the population of Iceland speaks English fluently, so it’s kind of a moot point.

Also just glancing at the original picture you posted there, if you’re anything close to fascist, that’s generally not going to go over well in that country.

It’s been touched upon but yeah I understand how difficult it’s supposed to be. As long as it’s not tonal I should be able to pick it up fundamentally in a year or so. Tonal languages fuck me up. I’ve started to learn vietnamese passively to speak with my fiancé’s family and I know I just sound retarded when I try.

Something close in principle. Pragmatically, though, it’s probably a lot less threatening and controversial than you believe it to be.

They also know Danish, so you can pick that up instead
