It seems a sensible idea until you try it. I really wouldn't bother.

Even if you get your qualifications recognised and get a job (read this http://www.google.co.uk/url?url=http://www.newsinenglish.no/2012/11/09/norwegian-firms-called-racist/&rct=j&frm=1&q=&esrc=s&sa=U&ei=5e9QVLbEOoHpywPLgIGABw&ved=0CBQQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNGIJsG3h7cE8ZIKsNcE91bW6pq9Lg and this http://www.google.co.uk/url?url=http://www.aftenbladet.no/energi/aenergy/Norway-businesses-would-rather-hire-Norwegians-3201482.html&rct=j&frm=1&q=&esrc=s&sa=U&ei=5e9QVLbEOoHpywPLgIGABw&ved=0CBsQFjAB&usg=AFQjCNG7zbVNBSknXha4TGXe5cctI1_u1w ) you still end up tax liable to a country where you are unlikely to be allowed to settle. I'd worked and paid tax in Norway for 10 years when, 6 months after my son was born in Norway, to a Norwegian Mum, my residence permit application was refused on the grounds I wasn't in Norway for more than 3 months at a time. That carried more weight than all the work I'd done in Norway, all the taxes I'd paid, the fact I'd bought a house and lived there with my Norwegian girlfriend and our son. FAR too much has to go right before you have a chance to actually settle in Norway. Norway's tendency to find pretexts for giving foreign workers nothing in return for their national insurance contributions is well known. Norway is almost constantly being taken to court over it.
