Please help, i will miss 2 years of school and i dont know what to do with my life?

Please help, i will miss 2 years of school and i dont know what to do with my life?
I have been living in Norway for about 1 year now, and that 1 year i went to a school that barely taught me any norwegian, so my norwegian is pretty bad. And i appplied for my 10th grade class (i would have been in the 11th if i was still in Canada, but im still in the 10th because i needed to learn norwegian), and now i wil lhave to go to anotehr school to teach me norwegian so i will miss 1 more year, so when i am supposed to be in gr.12, i will be in the 10th. So pretty much, i need backup plans. What could be ideas to make a stable living without completely relying on too much school? I play guitar so i plan to form a band and just sell albums and make some money off that, and i also plan to buy a house in the city centre and open a Metal music cafe/clothing shop, and i use to be an extra in comercials, so i may try that again. Would those ideas be good? And is there anything else i could try to do to make a decent living?

How to earn money as a teenager online?

How to earn money as a teenager online?
I'm a 15-year old Norwegian boy looking for a online job. Since I live in Norway, there isn't so many of the typical sites I can use. I write very well English, and understands it even better, I have some experience in drawing (mostly sprites for video games), and my class at school is currently making and distributing a board game. Does anybody know of a site I could get a job which pays a little bit and where I can use these abilities?

Big move to Norway from USA?

Big move to Norway from USA?
I am Norwegian but have been living in NYC for the last 11 years, I am young and fisnihing up school so I havent made any major cash as of yet. My husband is Russian American Jewish, we have a young child together. I have been told that for my husband to be able to move with my and my sin, I must make at least 30, 000/ year, this is not a lot in Norway, in the US it is to some. Is there anything that I have missed? I do not want to leave without him and do the 3 month interval visits until I have made enough money in Norway. It will be much harder for me to find a job out there without someone to watch our child, preferably at home. We want to move soon and start a simpler life. Any advice from someone who has made or plan on making a move to Norway in a similar situation? Thank you

How can I travel to Norway for a Summer, but still earn money while I'm there?

How can I travel to Norway for a Summer, but still earn money while I'm there?
I'm Norwegian, and I'd like to go to Norway to connect with my roots. The problem is that I have a lot of student debt that will probably take the rest of my life to pay back. I have to make payments on these debts monthly so I need to find a job wherever I go. Is there some kind of exchange program that I can participate in or youth hostel that I could work in? I'm willing to learn almost anything especially if it has to do with Norwegian culture. Any ideas or advice?

If you have Norwegian citizenship and speak the language, you should have no problem picking up a summer job in touristy areas assuming you go early enough. Most of these hire before mid-June (and many are hiring now for summer) so it does depend on when you'd be here. Hiring almost comes to a standstill from mid-July through August. https://www.nav.no/sbl/stillingssok/enkelt.do http://www.finn.no/jobb/ If you don't have Norwegian citizenship (or citizenship with an EU country), or you don't speak a Scandinavian language, getting a job isn't really possible. This is true wherever you travel in Europe, you need a citizenship that allows you to work alongside the local language. In the first case as a foreigner, you would need a sponsored work permit in order to work here. Those are only available for skilled work, particularly in areas where Norway is lacking workers (like engineering). You can also get permits for seasonal jobs (like in fishing/whaling) but you generally need experience and contacts for this. http://www.udi.no/Norwegian-Directorate-of-Immigration/Central-topics/Work-and-residence/ If you don't speak a Scandinavian language you won't find unskilled work in Norway, even if you're legal to work here. Hostels and other touristy places often ask for 3+ languages (English, Scandinavian and an additional one). Any job that just hires for the summer is likely to be in service (hotels, restaurants, tourist shops). Norwegian is a requirement for these types of jobs, even when you aren't dealing with the public.
