Living and working in Denmark

Hi Gilles,

If you have a master's degree in social sciences, it's not the way forward to find an odd job. It's important to maintain your skills and be up to date, and the only way to do this is to have a relevant job. If you cannot find a relevant job, I would reconsider my decision to go to denmark.

You can see the minimum pay for odd jobs here:

In normal times, it shouldn't be a problem to find an odd job, but currently not the very best tiime.

Copenhagen and Aarhus are the classic choice with a wide range of career jobs. As people everywhere in the world want to live in the big cities, housing prices are also in the high end. A room for a student may cost 5,000 kroner or more. You'll be very lucky to find a flat under 12,000 kroner, probably more. Commuting will be part of your daily life, waste of time and also an expence.

I would suggest to you that you take a look at trekantsområdet (Kolding, Vejle and a few more towns) as the area tries to attract jobseekers and therefore offers a wide range of help to newcomers. The area in itself is also attractive.

Having found a housing, it will be normal to pay 3 months' rent + a similar deposit. I link to a housing site, randomly found which may give you an impression of the rent level.
