Hello again

Such a long time since I have written here - all is well in the Skovhuse house and the usual activities of job (lucky to have one) family (ditto) and knitting (the stash is still here) have kept me busy the last couple of years. Since I last wrote my thoughts about education, studies and future possibilities the situation here in Denmark has changed - for the worse. As in  many other places. Some people whose chose wisely (seen from my view) ended up not being about to find work - nurses and teachers are among those having a hard time. However, they do have the possibility of finding work in the local "land of opportunity" aka Norway - granted a colder, darker place. However pluses are lots of ´lovely scenery and job opportunities and very high wages (just remember to take some food along - prices are high too)
Would I chose to go to Norway if I was unemployed - well probably yes, I'd give it a go. Certainly if I was younger and single I would. However I can think of a couple of single young men I know, educated with marketable skills but no job here in Denmark.  But they  refuse to consider temporarily re-locating. I don't understand why not - if they were my sons I would be very disappointed and doing some soul-searching along the lines of what went wrong in their upbringing?
There is something about the social system in Denmark that makes it too easy for some people to "lull" themselves - not that there is anything wrong with "lullabies" but they are meant to go to sleep to. And that should not be the goal of the government - not in my view. Unfortunately some folks are not that good at taking a long hard look in the mirror - both psychologoically, socially and physically. So, to say it concisely "all is not well in the State of Denmark"  and will hopefully change before it progresses (or regresses) to "something is rotten in the State of Denmark" - for those who remember their Shakespeare...
