Good luck to you Stacey. I have a same feeling as you are having.
I am having no luck trying to find a way to Finland without going Study route. I have completed my Graduation 6 years ago and I don't want to get back to studies again. After going through lots of forum posts here and finlandforum.org/ its going to be lot tough for me. Experience varies from person to person, some got in without much hassle. I suggest you go through the link I gave above and let me know when you find a way for yourself.

you sure you're up for the Finnish weather after living your whole life so far in warm places?

at your age, I recommend looking into study or being an au pair if you're really interested in trying the life out. However, if you want to have an international lifestyle, getting as much education as you can (definitely high school, preferably college) will help you tremendously.
