"Hello, my girlfriend (both 30 years old) and I are thinking about moving to Denmark, as we've seen it mentioned everywhere as a country with many opportunities and a demand for professional skills. I'd like to mention that we are Italians, where over 40 years, salaries have dropped by almost 10%, and with the current lifestyle, it's not enough to live normally. We pay rent, groceries, bills, gasoline, and we almost run out of money. We would like to start a family sooner or later, something that isn't possible in Italy. So, for a guy (me) with 7 years of experience on lathes, grinding machines, and lapping machines, who has worked for Ferrari and Bosch, and holds a diploma as a Full Stack Web Developer, could there be a future? And what about my girlfriend, who has a 3-year bachelor’s degree in economy and finance and works as an accountant?
PS: I’m studying Dutch just because I love foreign languages. I can speak English and French too (B2).

kqcymihI believe you could easily find a job as either a machinist or a web developer, for your girlfriend though, I'm not sure it would be that easy to find something in her field. Not that she can't find any job, but if she wants to work with her degree she'd probably have to learn Danish first and/or get familiar with danish rules and laws, if she's lucky then maybe she can find something in one of the big multinational companies.
There are short 2-years programmes like "financial controller" that could be relevant for her or maybe she could even do a master, the problem with this plan would again be that she'd either have to get really good at danish or hope to find and get admitted to one of the few programmes in English. If she can work a certain number of hours per month she could be eligible to receive SU (student grants) also.
Either way there's always a demand for unskilled labor like cleaning, dish-washing, greenhouses, factory or warehouse work etc. Unskilled jobs will usually pay upwards of around 18€/hour, extra for working odd hours, this is before taxes though.
