[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've met many W. European tourists, and they never mention what they do for living but always talk about their hobbies. I realized that their job is just means to support their lifestyle/hobbies and no more than that. We, here, can't aford to do the same, so we have to do a job we love and feel passionate about. I don’t earn much, but I’m fortunate to have an interesting job—something I’d probably do as a hobby anyway. Still, I’m only able to live comfortably because my husband is the main breadwinner, though he’s burned out. If it weren’t for him, I’d probably be stuck in a job I dislike, too.[/quote] Because the world is a group project, where Europe gets to ride the coattails of the hire performers who want an A on their report card (ie, the United States). The system only works because the US over performs and creates so much innovation to fuel the global economy. You also have to look at the downside of being European. Most never own homes, which is pretty important to Americans, and many of their economies (like Greece in recent history) are in dire straits. It would be nice for a few months tho![/quote]
