What a sad country the U.S. has become. I wonder if this state of anxiety is also the norm in European countries?
It seems to be a lot more sane in countries like Germany, Finland, etc where university doesn't require $60-150k+ in student loan debt, healthcare is free, you actually have job stability and can't get fired without good reason, you can work any job and support yourself, housing isn't obscenely expensive, 1.5-2 months vacation. Not to paint these countries as a paradise because of course they have their problems too, but I wonder what Europeans think when they read articles like this?
- CalRobert 8y agoAs someone who moved from the US to Europe, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Unfortunately Europe seems to be trying to become more like the US, and my adopted home (Ireland) is an eager student. I can't imagine going back to less than a month of PTO a year, and even that feels skimpy.
