Yes the OP is a troll.

The fact that you can't decide between Finland and Denmark (where the languages are totally different), have no plan or money will set you up for failure.

For example, finding a job as a waiter shouldn't be too hard although you wouldn't get much out of it.
Which immigrants are you talking about? People from other EU countries, or people with work visas, are not allowed to come, unless they have a job.

But among family reunion, and asylum seekers, then almost no one is getting a job without knowing the language, and many is never able to get a job despite knowing the language.

I'm not talking about asylum seekers but mostly about economic migrants from other EU countries and people with work visas. Of course, the first step is to learn the language, the second is to go to the country where you want to move to where you can stay for up to 3 months on a tourist visa if your ountry isn't part of the UE and for a longer time if your country and try searching for a new job.

If you have learned the language, are in your 20s, have had a bit of experience finding an unskilled work (waiter, dishwasher, ecc.) shouldn't be too hard. That's how my cousin found work in London and the same goes for most other large cities.

Yes = but I repeat = NOT NOW. This summer has changed the whole world. Anyone who watches the news, not just USA news because this is not such a problem here and so not reported to the degree it is in Europe, will understand that with the hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers, economic migrants, and other hopefuls, the situation is forever changed in Europe. A new business has arisen, that of people smuggling; which was always around but now has been discovered by people who are making millions on these poor refugees and then abandoning them to their fate on the high seas or elsewhere. European countries cannot turn these people back; they realize this would be inhuman, so they are put into camps until their status can be determined.

Anyone who wants to get to Europe now and make a living will have to get in line. You would have to be pretty desirable to jump in front of all this influx.

and realize that the situation has only gotten worse in the last two months.

Learning the language is no easy task, that takes years, and even then you may struggle. Thats not an easy route for Americans who want to move to europe.

Of course you can go to the UK, but a lot of people want to go to the UK. You either need to be quite talented, or accept terrible pay.

The average European isn't really affected by this. Tourists or Americans that want to move here to work even less so.

Vacation is one thing - EU countries are delighted for you to come and spend all your money.

Heading over there with with a one-way ticket, hardly any money, and no plans, particularly at this time, says to the immigration officer at the airport, "I'm coming over here to get lost immediately, find somewhere to bunk, then get on welfare and benefits as soon as possible."

$1500 is way to little money for the EU and especially Scandinavia. I suggest that the OP goes to Southeast Asia instead. Their money would go a lot further there...
