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?
I’m on the west coast of Canada and I moved from Pennsylvania - the weather here is a milder version of PA. The summers get hot but not quite to the top end of PA’s heat, and the winters are much warmer than PA’s winters (sometimes it doesn’t even snow).
So it depends where you live in Canada, a lot of places aren’t that different than a lot of states.
But if you go way up north, that’s where you get to the places where most people think of Canada - cold and snowy.
And yes, engineers are in very high demand (at least in my area).
I’ll take a look :).
Been wanting to rid myself of this fear that I will one day hurt myself accidentally and be paying them for life.
Unfortunately I got hurt two years ago at work and I can’t imagine how it would have gone if I were still in the states. It led to two years of physio recovery and some medical procedures (both free), and during those two years I got 90% of what my full time pay was - this part was through a government program that covers any job you work at.
That’s… Wow. The fact that I couldn’t even imagine a hurt worker getting 90 percent pay while recovering tells you where the US still is.
