Your average Swedish metalworker will earn about 2700 euros a month while someone unqualified (only high school dimploma) working in a hospital or taking care of the elderly would make about 2000, or even a bit less. So comparatively it's pretty crappy.

Compared to university students it's great though as we get 800 a month and are supposed to repay two thirds of that, with interest. But at Sovereign(!) rates. ;)

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
