[quote=Anonymous][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]

I’m the completely opposite camp. Moved to the US with my Husband for his job when my two kids were 12/13. I’m sorry but I feel like their education was way ahead in the UK. They were easily 12 year ahead of every one of their counterparts at very “privileged” school in the NE….That is not to say their education was bad in the US. It was very good. BUT please, spare me the “incredible education” in middle school/High School in the US….I don think anybody here is advocating anyone to start their careers in the UK. Both of my kids decided to go to uni back in the UK. One graduated from Cambridge, the other from LSE. They both came back to the US and had amazing Job offers. One of the two decided to go back to school after 3 years to go to Harvard Law. The other one is doing really really well at a Boutique investment firm from NY. After his 1st year, he was offered an amazing opportunity to move “back” to London. He is enjoying every minute. SO please, there are opportunities anywhere in the world. [/quote]
