hi! I am Idrish miyan from Nepal. I have completed M.A. English from Dr.R.M.L.Awadh university Faizabad India and B.ed from Jodhpur University India. I have applied for master degree in Norway. I am looking for good job there which can provide me some money to stay in Norway but I am very disappointed to hear that finding job in Norway for foreigners is very very hard. so I am totally confused whether my decision is right or wrong. I want some money also while study period.

I'm afraid it is difficult if you do not speak Norwegian.
However you should look for a job with no interaction with costumers, or with an interaction in English.
I know Frenchmen get hired in French restaurants even though they speak very limited Norwegian, so you could start with the few Indian restaurants in town.
Look for night jobs, cleaning jobs, warehouse... Apply to schools to be a substitute if you can wrap that around your schedule. But I won't lie: it could be difficult anyway.
