Question Is Finland a great place to work?
I would like to ask you if you consider Finland a great country to work? Please state why you (not) consider Finland a great place to work.

Good for you gammer, there are so many people who would give their right arm to have a job they love.

If you love your job, you'll never work again

Yeh it will be fun, and i will only stay in the area of nakkala as a officer so i will still be in my preferred environment. And iam also going into the armed unit section aswell.

Maybe i could do agriculture in my spare time lol

even though I never worked in Finland, I voted yes, because I would really love to work there and after some talking with various finns, I think it would be a really great place to work
I just hope I master a bit more finnish by then!

I dunno, but I voted no. Taxes are so high one can only live, but "no one" can get really rich.
