[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m british and I met my American husband when we were both on vacation in Spain. I would never ever advise my kid to start their career in the UK. It is so so so hard to financially get ahead there no matter how hard you work. it’s really a country to be mediocre in. I sometimes think Americans are blind to all the opportunity and wealth we have here and are really living in some fantasy about what real daily life is like in Europe. There is not a single day that goes by that I’m not grateful for the opportunity i’ve had in the US and the incredible education my kids get here. [/quote]

Many US employers know the top UK universities beyond Oxbridge.  So one could get a UK undergrad degree and then get a job in the USA.  Purely as an example, Imperial competes with MIT and Caltech in STEM and competes with Harvard and Stanford in Medicine, which most top people in those fields know well.  Some are surprised by how many UK people are working in Silicon Valley.[/quote]
