Hello! I’ve been thinking about moving to Sweden, and have a couple of questions about the lifestyle.
Currently I’m living in the US, enrolled in high school, and wanting to learn Swedish. Here are my questions:
1) Does Sweden have a credit score system?
2) Are marketing/advertising/design jobs hard to get?
(I’m still in high school, but wish to pursue a major in these areas)
3) Also, do I need a couple of years’ experience before I can get that job (in question 2)? What are some good things to add on a resume?
4) Is it a burden/annoyance for businesses to get a work permit for someone they just hired that isn’t from Sweden? (For those of you who have moved… is it hard moving there?)
5) Will businesses be inclined to hire me if I know Swedish? (Also, will my ‘perspective’ help businesses who want to reach out to the US?)
6) Are there some international banks? (That are affiliated/shared with US banks)
Thank you very much for your answers and time! Sorry if my questions are a little awkward. 🙂

I’m sorry. This is a snotty question to ask, but the lack of joy that accompanies any discussion of being a member of a believing community (in my case, Catholic) really sucks. Back when I was a kid, life really did revolve around the church community. It was not just sunday Mass: it was school and celebrations of minor feast days and music and art and scouts and little league and fish fries and … just a lot of fun and good life. It was energetic and rich, regardless of how well-off or poor we were economically. I’m watching all the network “Christmas”-related programming lately and to me it looks like popular culture is utterly clueless about why this holiday has such a name. It’s all just louder and flashier advertising so that it looks a little different from the loud, flashy advertising that now drones on all year long.
For the last several decades, both the fake-fundy republicans and poorly-selected clergy have mis-marketed Jesus as a mouthpiece for their own neuroses and agendas rather than permitting his ultimate instruction that we “love one another” to be heard…the message that gave rise to that warm and supportive community and all that fun.
Even if you can’t stand how boring, opinionated or out of touch your priest or minister is, just pay attention to the Word, and even if a lot of that seems incomprehensible, filter it through the lens of “love one another” and you’ll probably hear it right…and it probably does not have a whole heck of a lot to do with angel wings taped to the underfed shoulders of a Victoria’s Secret model. Give me a break.

I don’t know what has caused this, is it a virus? (I’ve done a scan and there was a trojan horse, but it deleted it)
For example, I’ll click on PC World, and this will come up: http://itcg.20446_1265.get-search-results.com/jump2/?affiliate=itcg&subid=20446_1265&terms=pc%20world
So far, it has also done the same for the BBC website, but not every time.

I work for a company who is launching a new product, and we can’t find any sort of basis for figuring out how much we need to spend… Like do we need to do 100 grand in advertising several times in different magazines, and 40k in radio advertising? Or should we just spend a few thousand dollars here and there on a few niche ads?
I know it depends a lot on the product, but it is a completely new product to market (something different than anything else out there).
How do we determine how much advertising we really need to do?
We just met with 3 ad firms who all said the same thing- “we don’t tell you how much, just what and where” is pretty much what I’ve gotten.That was my answer to our dillemma, which didn’t help.

I need some good affiliate programs and/or advertising programs where I can advertise products, businesses etc on my site and get paid for it, any suggestions?
Also, not Google AdSense or Yahoo Ads.

Ok, I am a sophomore in college and I have changed my major literally, every semester. I honestly don’t know what kind of jobs are out there and I am petrified of choosing something and not being able to find a job because of the economy (I’ve looked into advertising but like I said i’m worried I won’t find a job). I know I want to do something big with my life, I am very creative and love being able to use that. I also really enjoy talking to people, i’m a decent writer and a great listener. I hate math with a passion and I would really like to have a career that will allow me to provide a comfortable lifestyle for me and my one-day family. (More specifically, afford to vacation. Haha) I don’t know if that provides enough information but if any of you know something I could look into that might fit my skill set, I would MORE than appreciate it. I feel like I’m going to have a breakdown if I can’t find my niche’ soon.
