Thinking to move to Kristiansand

I am thinking of a move to Kristiansand, I have family in Norway from Hamer, Tonsberg and Kristiansand. I have been coming over for years as holidays and decided Kristiansand is where I want to be.
I'm wondering about if its a good idea as I would be taking my son with me he is 11 and starting high school this year, has anyone moved out there with children of this age?
I work in the Salmon industry here in Shetland what are the job prospects in the area?

Thankyou for any replies Richard

1. Find out if any qualifications you have are transferable to Norway
2. Learn Norwegian.
3. Get a job in Kristiansand
4. Workout what you will get after taxes and buy or rent a property according to your budget. Factor in the costs of travel, heating, everything being very expensive in Norway and if you have any intention of seeing Shetland again, the cost of keeping in touch with home.

There are few "free lunches" in this world and I think you will find it hard to thrive in Norway.
