Dutch as a language can be tough to learn, especially the so called 'lidwoorden', which are a bit similar to prepositions, but they don't have a system. You just have to know which 'lidwoord' belongs to a word on its own, like table, chair, computer or horse. Besides that, The Netherlands has many dialects in different regions, which can be hard to understand even to native speakers.
Besides the fucked up language, it's a great country. Mainly because of its freedoms. Freedom of speech (although nowadays you will be killed my muslim extremists if you don't watch your tong), freedom of soft-drugs, freedom of religion and all that stuff.
It is also quite a bureaucratic country with many, many rules and laws and so forth which can be a big pain in the ass for a starter.
As for problems in work and crime, they're none. In the work area, the Netherlands is doing great and crime rates are dropping as is said before.
Our real problems are immigration and religion. Over 10.000 white Dutch people leave the country each year, mostly to Australia. Many return within years though, because a lot is done for you, much more than most Dutch citizens realise. I'm talking about stuff like health care, schooling and work/unemployment.
Religion is a problem if you hate muslims. I do, and everyday I have to face that there are more niggers and muslims in my capital then there are regular Dutch people.
Good luck with your choice.
