    My grandpa worked in a couple diff countries in eurrope back in 1900’s, he worked for 5 years in 2 diff countries and then came back to work in his home country for 30 years and ended up getting pension from 3 countries.

    Atleast back then you had to work for 5 years in a country to get their pension.

      I worked in Germany, started apprenticeship to become a heating engineer when I was 16 for 3.5 so that time I payed in but not much, then I worked 2 years in a factory but in between I was in military, but I guess this counts to some degree. Then I went back to school to be able to go to university.

      But then I moved to Sweden, there I worked 1.5 years as a paperboy during the night while learning the language. Then I worked for 2 years as a web frontend developer and then I went to University. During University I worked half time as a iPhone app and web developer for about 5 years. Then I worked for 7 years as a embedded developer at a car supplier company.

      And then I moved to Korea and worked here for 3 years with the same.

      So at 46 I only have 14 years of 100% work and 5 years at 50% work and then those very low paying jobs 5 years and one year of military. And that between 3 countries and two continents.
