You guys over there make about twice the money I make (if not more).
However, my schooling was paid for the most part by the government. Debt when I got out of school was $0.
We have at least 20 paid free days (not counting about 10 holidays, and most people have more anyway). I have 25 + 10 from holidays.
When I get sick I get free (or cheap) healthcare (at the cost of about $80 a month). Also, my employer keeps paying my full salary for a few months, then a little less, and then the government takes over (or something like that).
When I get unemployed I get government money (after my boss paid me first).
Job security is pretty high here anyway, I probably couldn't be fired if I took a sh*t on my boss' desk!
I'm insured for practically everything (except health and car) for about $10 a month.
When I get old I get even more money.

Canada has something like that if I'm not mistaken.
What does America have, except higher salaries in some sectors?

In the end it all plays out I guess Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
