According to this site, bus drivers in Norway make 22,655 kroners per month, so about 5,500 kroners per week (40 hours). In US dollars, this is between $1,771 and $2,633 per month.

You have to compare it with cost of living though. It's about 260,000 300,000 Kr per year based on adverts on NAV (search on Bussjåfør). Cost of apartments are high and that will swallow a big chunk of any wage. Food costs, car procies, general living costs are all very high so this has to be taken into account. Oslo is rated as the 4th most expensive international city after Moscow, Tokyo and London.

How much would a profession like this make in norway?
How much would a profession like this make in norway?
If you happen to be a Finishing Contractor in Norway, as in freelance, would you be making a lot of money? Lets say u live outside of Oslo? Are people in this profession considered wealthy, or just have enough to feed a family of 2-3? As a Finishing contractor, and a strong believer of the Christian Faith, can he also be an elder of a church there? putting together financial and professional status...?

You'd be around average income I think based on the wages for full time employees in construction. It will vary though as depending on the specific business they may have specialist skills, etc that command a higher premium. Depends which church he's in, not sure the church of Norway has elders, but they do have a parish council. Obviously there are other churches. I take it he speaks Norwegian as that would be a bit of a stumbling block
2 :
The pay of most jobs in Norway is fairly equal, meaning people generally earn a good living wage but few are wealthy. Taxes increase as salary increases. If you have a family, both parents usually work, as living on one wage in a country as expensive as Norway isn't ideal. I don't think the Church of Norway has elders either, but free churches usually do, although financial/professional status doesn't really play a part. Norway is statistically the least religious country in the western world though, which means you may not be satisfied with the options and community. Only 36% consider themselves religious at all, and less than 3% attend church regularly (monthly or more). I actually don't know anyone that goes to church and the figures are even lower in Oslo. As mentioned above, either of your questions would require a fluent Scandinavian language. Norwegians speak excellent English, but it's not the language of business or social life here.

Should I date him?? 10 points?
Should I date him?? 10 points?
We go to the same high school. We live in Norway. His dad owns a company and they're like SUPER rich. He lives in a big mansion in the suburbs. When I was carrying a H&M bag in my hand, he like spelled it out: "h and m, huh". He only wears Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, CK and he always have Hugo Boss perfume on. I mean, I don't really shop in H&M alot, I love fashion, so I prefer Chanel, Dior etc. but I just bought a cute necklace there. I hate how he makes fun of people that are not as rich as he & his family. But I still LIKE him. A LOT. He's hot. He's tall. He's nice to me. He has gorgeous eyes. He's rich. He's REALLY smart. He's gonna heir his dad's company. But he's like really RUDE and he's showing off to other people with his parents' money.... Love, Zara ♥

if you really like him then go for it! but be careful if hes really rude to others he may end up being rude to you too. lots of rich people are spoiled.
2 :
No, no, no. People like this need to get a reality check before they are fit for a 2-way relationship. He seems very selfish, and childish. Exactly what a man should not be. I think you're letting his money and good looks get in the way of seeing who he really is. But it's your call. Good luck!

I would date him if you really do care for him. Him being rude like that could just be because of his age. You know how guys are. They never mature as fast as girls do. I would give him a chance, but let him know how you feel about him being rude to other people by flaunting his money. Try to explain to him how it hurts others feelings when you put them down. If he really likes you he probably will listen to you, but I wouldnt expect a quick change. He has grown up rich, so it will probably take him a little while to see the other side of life. good luck with LOVE:)

I wouldn't date him. He is not only rude, but he is also superficial. How can one judge someone considering the clothes or the perfume one wears? Why should I spend thousands of euros on clothes that have nothing more than some clothes for about 100??? I would better go and explore this world or invest the money in something useful. And I actually do not understand why he is acting like this because there are not his own money, he didn't do absolutely anything for them. And wearing designer perfume is not such a big deal. My father also wears Hugo Boss and he is not rich, he is just a normal person with a normal job. Finally a bottle of this perfume is about 30 euro and not 150 euro like Creed or others even more expensive. Oh, and I have a question for you: are you ready to give up your friends or your family? Because I doubt he will ever be able to accept them and by the way he speaks and treats the others I tend to believe that he will also not be accepted by the people in your life.

How do I get my motivation back? (violin)?
How do I get my motivation back? (violin)?
When I was 2 or 3 I used to pick up my mother's violin and "play" it on my lap while singing Baa, Baa, Blacksheep. When my siblings played, I'd listen in, begging to get lessons, too. I grew up being told by everyone that I was a "wonder child" with huge potential. I got my first violin when I was 4, and immediately started playing one of Mozart's Divertimentos with my family's quartet (dad on flute, sister on cello, brother on viola, mother on violin) after I showed them that I'd picked up the leading melody by heart just by listening to them. I started playing the viola when I was about 8, and the piano when I was 10. I took lessons from one of Norway's great violinists, Terje Moe Hansen, I attended a hugely prestigious musical academy called Barratt Due, I practiced for an hour a day, and then ... it just got less and less fun. The big collapse came when my parents divorced when I was 11. My mother went abroad and my dad didn't force me to practice. So gradually I just played less and less and now that I'm 19, I'm "taking a break". I played in the same orchestra as the now-international Alexander Rybak and Vilde Frang Bjerke, I have an Italian violin that's worth beteen $10,000 and $20,000, and overall I just feel like a huge failure. My parents have invested so much money in this, and I was always told I could become professional, that I could go international. I can't let go of the feeling that there still is some talent left in me. I still play the piano (my latest piece is Beethoven's Sonate Pathétique) but that was not my original passion! I used to play Kreisler-Pugnani's Prelude&Allegro, and now when I pick the violin up raw I can hardly play Meditation from Thaïs without making any errors. What should I do to get my motivation back? I don't want to sit as an adult regretting that I never got back into it? Please give me some advice, guys. I just don't want to quit permanently. N4SXX: Send a $15,000 violin to you? To you? "Send"? No thanks :D The seller offered to buy it back from me for double what I paid. I said no way. I'm never letting go of my Italian beauty.

I had the same issue with playing piano - all of a sudden I just didn't enjoy it as much. But I came back in full swing when I found popular music that I really enjoyed from my favorite artists or movies, and I started playing those songs instead of the typical classic music I used to play. I found it much more enjoyable. So perhaps you should try the same! Good luck!
2 :
If you don't want to quit permanently, then don't. Pick up that violin and play. It will take some time to play as well as you used to be because there is a physical element in playing an instrument. If you were an athlete and didn't play your sport for several years, you couldn't suddenly start again and expect your muscles and reflexes to be the same. You are also troubled by doubt, regrets, and fears. Fine, let your feelings out in your music. Think of music as life itself. You make mistakes in life, but you have a choice of learning from them or giving up. You will make mistakes when you play, but....? Do you have a current violin teacher? You might need to relearn things you've forgotten. As for switching instruments or genres of music, that is something you must follow your own heart and mind on. Simply switching will simply mean you will still have to work as hard or even harder, but in a different way.

Hi, from what I went through a few years ago, it's a matter of finding an inspiration that picks you back up again, whatever that may be for you... I hated my violin for a while, but after making some new friends (musos) and finding new music, it slowly got me interested again. New music to me means something new and contemporary. Also, at that time, I joined a musical pit orchestra. That took heaps of energy, and it was heaps of fun. It wasn't a professional stage type thing, but it was fun. Music doesn't have to be all about solo-istic works. Even though you are capable to be the next big violinist (from what you've indicated) and become a pro violinist that I'll know the name of, go back to the basics, forget your own expectations, and just have fun! Best of luck!

just send the violin to me and continue playing the piano and dreading the fact that you are a quitter I am 48 and wish that I had the chance to learn with a teacher BUT alas I am forced to learn on my own
