America used to be a place you could come to work to be able to support yourself and your family.

Looking back over the last quarter century it seems to me that we’re seeing a reversal of this trend. American born citizens so overburdened by the failures of their country that they dream of moving somewhere they can support themselves, and maybe finally begin to live their lives.

What are your thoughts?

    My ex and I share custody of our children. If it wasn’t for the fact that I want to actually be in my kids’ lives, I would have moved somewhere like Ireland or New Zealand years ago.

      Germany’s looking-for-work visas required 5+ years in the field. I would have moved straight after university if they would have taken me.
