[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5345712, member: 24302"] Over the years looking at expat forums I've seen numerous young adults who are tired of the grind in the U.S. asking about best places to get jobs overseas. They're always told, often to their dismay, that other countries protect the jobs of their citizens and even if you could land one it wouldn't pay very much. Told their best bet is to get into something in the U.S. that has a pension, and retire to one of those countries with the income you bring. Even if you have to wait for Social Security. It's kind of ironic that we have naive Americans who think it's got to be better elsewhere and at the same time there are people making long journeys just to get here thinking once they do they'll have it made. And then find the U.S. is very expensive and you have to work long hours just to get by. At least we have opportunities here and often the newcomers put us to shame with their work ethic because they know they'd never get the opportunity back home. But people should remember that most of the people in those countries stay there because they're not all willing to break their backs all day to get the brass ring in a foreign country. [/QUOTE]
