"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).

kqd28oaCiao, Italian here, also looking to move to Denmark.
I think our terrible living/working conditions shouldn't be your only driver. You talked about it at great length and I hope you're prepared for the culture shock.
I mean, you'll have to get over sins like preferring bread and butter over pizza.
Jokes aside, if you only emigrate looking for better living conditions, you might start hating all the little differences, never really integrate, and eventually return to our Bel Paese with resentment.
That being said, I wish you well and good luck!

kqd52mkDenmark is actually the REAL land of the free. You can have both bread and butter AND pizza here. That's acutally how we prefer it.

kqd5ohtWell, I kid you not when I say we aren't exactly known for culinary freedom
Personally, I think bread and food make for a great combo, simple and fills your stomach.

kqdch51Honestly I don’t migrate for pizza, pasta or whatever. I’m 30 years old and I have fixed term contract since 14 years. That’s Italy.

kqfywjnYou haven't had a raise in 14 years? Or are you talking about your apartment?
