To find work in Denmark is not very easy for Russian ladies. If to be engaged in cleaning or looking after ill patients and old men than it is easy. Danes are not striving for doing such jobs, therefore foreigners can easily get this work. But the majority of the Russian brides arriving here have higher education. And they also have certain hopes for using it which are vanishing gradually together with confidence of the professional or personal qualities. With our diploma of the doctor it is IMPOSSIBLE to work as a medical sister, and our teacher will not be taken in a kindergarten! Simply because to work as a medical sister it is necessary to have the diploma of a medical sister authorized by the Danish system. And for work as the tutor in a kindergarten it is necessary to have special, Danish pedagogical education, and if without it - Russian lady may be just a nurse with the appropriate level of payment! To tell the truth, this level is higher, than the salary of the director of the school in Russia, but you you live in Denmark where it is necessary to pay absolutely different money for the apartment, municipal services, public transport, a hairdresser service or simply bread or a package of milk. Basically, that's not the thing. It is important to understand what to to make a career here is a million times more difficult, than in the native land.
To work as the cleaner honorable, than not to work. But to work as the economist is much more honorable, than to work as the cleaner. It gives also another level of claims, and another circle of acquaintances. If you are an engineer it would be desirable to be surrounded by equal people, to have an opportunity to speak not only about the prices in the nearest supermarket and to be accepted on equal level of intelligence and world-perception. Russian brides with the higher education, who work as dishwashers, are deprived of such privileges.
I do not believe, that the intellectual Russian brides want to be stand out for the bright make-up or clothes. The same as the intellectual Danish woman doesn't stand out for the car or the house. It is of minor importance. It is important to be happy and balance in life, it is important for life to be filled with the contents: when it is pleasure to go for work in the morning, and in the evening you want to come home. When you have a family where you are loved and appreciated, and work where you are appreciated and are being promoted. In Russia or in Denmark.
