Many people are trying to emigrate into another country looking for another job, a better live, etc. So I have some friends looking forward to do their best and interested in Norway. Could someone tell me something about this country? How is live there? What about possibilities to work there?

Norway is considered one of the best countries in the world, if not the best. But that means it also makes it a hard country to reach. The easiest ways to get there and integrate would be with a scholarship, a grand recommendation from a grand institute (research, business, etc) or probably marrying one of their citizens (probably the easiest if you have the qualities 
). Either way, I guess it's worth the trouble.

Marriage sometimes seems to be the easiest solution, not only in Norway. Do you have already been in Norway?

Well, compared to most countries it's cold here. And lots of snow in the winter, normally :-) And we're not considered the most out-going and social nationality in Europe, but I still like ut ;-)
Unemployment rates are pretty low here, but it depends on what you do how easy it is to find a job. (been trying for a while :-) ) It also depends on where in Norway you are willing to live, and whether you speak Norwegian (or say, Swedish or Danish). If you are a Schengen resident, you can take whatever unemployment money you are elligble for to any other Schengen country for a period of 3 months.
Living here is really quite OK if you can survive without warm summers etc. And without too much light in the winter.

There'll always be a marked for people who know their way around computers, and if you want an IT job, it's more important to speak English than Norwegian, at least to start with.
Schengen is a part of the agreements within the European Union and the European Economical Something (can't remember exactly what's it is called :-) ). It's the agreement that makes it possible for us to travel between the countries who have signed without a passport, and you can go to any of the other countries to get a job. Most of the countries in the European Union are in it (except the UK), also Norway. Not sure about Switzerland. They're so neutral it's confusing :-)
I think Norwegian is about in the middle when it comes to difficult. The grammar isn't as complicated as German, the pronounciation not as difficult as English.

Thank you for your response. May I ask you what's the meaning of Schengen? Is it a special place in Norway? The information you give is interesting. At the moment, I don't speak Norwegian, but it might not be a problem to learn as I already speak five languages and that's it what I like. Do you consider that your language is difficult to learn for foreigners? Any experience? And what about computer sciences? Might it be easy to find a job for someone who works with computers (software and hardware)? Thank you so much for your information. The reason why I am requireing all these information is because where I am living there is almost no work and many people try to emigrate to other countries trying to find a job and I would like to know if Norway could be a good option.

Thank you for your opinion. Do you think that it's easy to find a job there? Any experience?
