I live in norway and i have been thinking about moving to estonia to study next year, i want to become a flight mechanic and did some digging online to see what the salary is only to find out that it’s at around 10 euro per hour. i figured that it must be really cheap to live in estonia but then i also found out that everything is pretty much expensive for such a low salary and that prices can even be compared to Scandinavian prices. For perspective, i am working in norway and making 21 euro per hour just sitting in a reception. And the salary i found is what i would make after graduating as a flight mechanic. Maybe anyone has some more insight? i have no clue about estonia, the information i found was all found online. after seeing the salary im contemplating whether its even worth it to study as a flight mechanic there.
i also have an extra question which is mostly impossible to get an answer on, but in norway flight mechanics get a benefit card with up to 90% discount on flight for both themselves and their spouse/kids. is this the same for estonia? are there any benefits
Yes, the salaries are relatively modest in Estonia compared to the cost of living. However, get this: the Norwegian salaries are among the highest that can be found anywhere in the world. You are going to be disappointed when you move to about 190 countries out of the total 195. And your prices are insanely high to almost everyone else.
Most people would come to Estonia because they have a personal connection, appreciate the country or want to be there, not as a career move in order to make the same amount of money with a degree that they could make without a degree elsewhere.
Far from a shithole third world country even on the European scale, never mind worldwide. If you lack the ability to obtain/hold a half-decent job, you will have the exact same issues and the same complaints no matter where you are. They won’t disappear by leaving Estonia.

Guessing Monaco, Switzerland (maybe, or roughly the same level), certain regions in the US (Manhattan, Silicon Valley), some other microstates maybe?
