I choose to take this job, and I hope I will not regret it :)

Of course You have to. I don't know what the situation is like in Sweden at the present, but here in Holland You can't be to picky, if You are offered a job you're lucky. But still it sucks !!!!

Very hard to get a job here, I am the only one out of 105 applicants that they hire...
So I'm lucky, and can't afford to turn it down just to keep my beard.

But, still sucks that they force me to cut it off, I really don't look extreme in my opinion...

So true, I guess that's why I don't think I'm extreme but they do :)

I WILL look extreme if I cut off my beard and shave my head, I will look like a skin head, but what am I to do?

Hmm, no, I don't want long hair again, I've had it for so long.
Trying a sort of Mohawk right now, lets wait and see if they have any opinion on that when I start my job...

If they want to they can pay my barber bill nd then I'll have whatever kind of hair they want to :D

What kind of job is it ?!?! You must be good if they pick You from 105 candidates.

Yeah You're right Supercharger, things could be better here !!!

It's as an electronics engineer.

They wanted someone that had experiences from VHDL programming for FPGA devices and lots of experiences in working with different types of projects n may areas, I have three years Unviversity education and almost four years working experience in this field.

Only problem is I am afraid they will expect some fucking guru or what ever, what id I'm not good enough??

gnoff: you hade quite a good salary

I did have a VERY good salary, I'm lowering it quite a lot now, and will also pay higher taxes, but will still make good money.

I can afford my own apartment, my car, food and pleasures, clothes and stuff.
Also I can afford going to festivals and vacations.

I'm not at all complaining :)
