Finland is a small country on a global scale. Measured by its population, Finland is around the 114th biggest country, by its area the 137th. The population of Finland makes up just 0.07 per cent of the world's population and its total area as much of the total world area. But even a small country can jump to the top of the world, and this is what Finland has done: in international country comparisons of positive things Finland is often among the top countries next to other Nordic countries.

At the threshold of Finland's centenary celebrations, we collected a list of these things in which Finland is one of the best in the world. The comparisons speak for themselves: Finland a best.

I've only met Polish students, usually nurses and half of them leave for the UK after finishing studying. They usually come here for the free education and benefits and they usually come from poorer parts of the north of Poland. The study finance they get is more than a salary in Poland.

Being a butcher is a high risk, high skill job. People should be paid accordingly.

>>73327717

any 80 IQ high school dropout can swing a cleaver around

>People should be paid accordingly.
yeah
which means more talented people who are skilled in a rare and much tougher area of expertise should be paid more

butchers being as valuable as surgeons or infosystem architects is fucking nonsense
