Would you expatriate?

[ATLcenter]

Well, I've been thinking about this for some time, and I guess I might as well ask others. A lot of people at my univ. who go abroad to work/intern end up getting a job there after graduating in a year or so. Many of them take the job; some don't. Would you? I dunno how I'd feel about living outside the US fresh out of college, but I guess I'd take it up just to see...

Yes.

There's more to the world than America.

Yes.

No kidding, I'm an expatriate myself from India though I came here at 4. I dunno if it's smart to move out at 22 or something like that though. Doing it in early childhood and after college are very different.

Probably not, I just would do alot of travelling

[FlyingPhotog]

I would, in a heartbeat - if I had a job waiting for me somewhere.

If it were Canada, then yes. Otherwise, no. The USA is pretty big, so even if you go to place like Arizona from the East it kinda feels like you're in another country. For whatever reason I just like this corner of the world, and don't have a desire to live anwhere else. Although there are certainly places in the US/Canada, I would rather live than CT, but I just don't have a desire to live outside North America, for whatever reason I just like it on this continent. Actually, I could do Panama (dad from there, so I know it), but other than that, no.

Although I would deffinetly try to travel all over as it's important to see what's going on in the world and different photo taking opportunities.

I'd have to pick a country where I could still afford avgas.

That'd be Saudi-Arabia then .

As for me, if I had a good job offer, I would expatriate from Germany to the US asap. Heck, even as a pizza driver, I would get 4x the money I would get for the same job in Germany, and have overall lower costs than in Germany.

[screaming_emu]

god yes, I'd actually prefer to expatirate, just have to find the right job.

[MaDbOy]

I'd do anything to get out of this cuontry...

Yea, I was gonna get around to commenting on that!

I guess the only place besides the USA I'd consider settling in is Canada. For short stays, anywhere that isn't an obvious political shithole is fine.

Many would say the US is a political sh!thole...

22 isn't too old. If you can get a job that you can live on and you're able to adjust to some of the other differences of the new country, I don't think it would be radically different than moving from one coast of the US or Canada to the other.
