Country meme, bonus question 1

keli asked: I have another one that I don't think is up there. Do you have to pay for university and what is the most popular job/career over there or the one that you are in the most need of? (ok I think that's two)

No, university is free. You have to pay for your living expenses, and books, but the education in itself is free. But there are private schools where you have to pay to go, too, like fashion design. You are still eligible for student loans and other student benefits if you do, though.

As for the questions of most popular careers- I have no idea. But I know there is a huge need of teachers and nurses.

Country meme, bonus question 2, part 1

xspike4evax asked: And if I may add a question, what myths & legends are associated with Sweden? I'm interested in mythology & it's always fun to find out something like this about another country.

This going to be long, and I won’t cover everything. In fact, this is turning so long it will come in two posts. Sorry. Naturally we share some mythology and legends with other countries. You will find myths about giants, troll and werewolves in Sweden, but no vampires though.
