    Well I'm going back to school there first to get an actual degree. After that though yeah I'm expecting to make around 1/3 what I am currently, between switching countries and going from automation engineering to level design. I think it'll be a worthwhile trade-off too

    Out of interest, since moving continents is no small matter in my opinion; what makes that, and making a third in terms of salary vs the US, a worthwhile trade-off?

        If you take into account all the things you don't have to pay, that salary is not that low

            I assume you're taking a big hit salary-wise (a trade-off I would make, for the record).

            Cost of living. You earn a lot less in Europe/ UK, but you pay far less to have a basic standard of living, and enjoy the safety net.

                You should probably go back to whatever hole conservatives hide in nowadays. Xitter seems more your speed for trolling

                  If you went and got set up the kid would have somewhere to escape if it comes to that.

                      If only some Americans could show them the way.. I'm sure all they're missing are some sick viral marketing campaigns, maybe replace the corks with sports-drink style suck-on plastic caps and some bold colourful text on the labels. Of course we'll also have to replace the grapes with corn syrup to improve margins.

                        i know. it was a rhetorical question.

                        (i agree with your first paragraph. i wont make such a question again, its dumb.)

                        Assuming this Lucas guy is in Europe, I vote we exchange him for 1 or more immigrants. Bye Lucas, we won't see you again since you hate immigration.

                            If they’re from the EU

                            This part doesn't make sense. Why would they be from the EU if they were "planning to try and immigrate to Europe"?

                                  Please stop parroting this notion that Canada's problems mirror those if the united states.

                                  The number of so called "illegals" pales in comparison to the number of foreign investors buying up property and jacking IP the rental rates.

                                  I'm just going to correct you here. The problem if Canadian housing isn't foreign investors (they account by like 2% of the real state market), but the absurd zoning laws and the "missing middle".

                                  Check our "oh the urbanity" youtube channel, they do a really good analysis on Canadian houses markets.

                                    This is always said, I have seen the stats that prove it but I have just never come across people here that are as strapped and in debt as a lot of americans I meet. Not to mention the amount of additional taxes like state, county, huge property taxes. The numbers must add up, I wont deny the facts but how itnworks is beyond me

                                      Not OP but like come on, look outside - the country is a roadside attraction. I wouldnt raise my kids there under any circumstance...so I guess safety is a consideration.
