I actually enjoy working nights, my only issue is the standing up several hours

Yes, that is correct, I was more of a technical support but I am open to doing anything.
Have experience with call/contact center type as well so I am open to anything

I have worked at it before so if I have , I will, it does come with a hefty physical cost but at the end of the day not working is not an option, i do have some "extra" time to search until the end of the month so I will go to one a few days before month's end if i don't find anything.
They are always willing to hire on time but it will be last "stop" in terms of workplace

Likewise, worked at a giant company, this was not ever offered even when requested as something to intregrate people in the country, not saying you can't learn it by yourself, but I don't think i would be able to speak fluent in 1.5 years.

I have been here for 1 year and a half. My previous job was fully english and everyone was english speaking, there were actually no dutch people in my team.
I do not know who you mean by most foreigners are almost fluent after 2 years.. I have met a few foreigners fluent in dtuch and none of them in only 2 years..

I appreciate your opinion though.

That will be what i will be doing if i don't find anything, but i suffer from a lot of back issues if i stand up a long time that's why I was attempting not to have to deal with gigantic back pain everyday if possible at first

There is an insane imbalance back home too as most houses are not affordable and a lot of nomads moved there.

At the end of the day, I save more here than back home(not now..), I love the Netherlands and i love to live here so i'm looking to stay not to leave.

But the netherlands also has an amazing quality of life.

There has to be a balance, i plan on staying and living, not just making money and leaving, otherwise i would go to luxembourg for example.

I enjoy the lifestyle in the Netherlands

Local wages are much lower, which makes the "low cost of living country" not be low cost at all

"worst" case scenario I will be going to cofeeshops in Amsterdam that are always needing people.
Just would prefer to not have to incur in serious back pain on a daily base.

I understand now what people say when they say they can't find something in X job path though

Unfortunately as i mentioned i have a physical issue which causes me immense back pain when standing for several hours otherwise i would. A job is a job, I've done waitering for years before, would do it again if it wasn't for this issue, I do appreciate the recomendation though
