"Quit your job and leave behind everyone you love"
- maerF0x0 5y agoLife is an economic game. You have to make the choices of what is most valuable and you cannot have, literally, it all. as an immigrant to the US, i can share that it has been hard to do "leave behind everyone you love", but also I met new people I love as well.
- ghaff 5y agoPeople do move for jobs and leave where they grew up and much of their family lives all the time of course. And, at least for certain types of workers, living where you want to live with fewer job-related constraints is increasingly an option.
- pbuzbee 5y agoAgreed. Feels like my choices are "start a new life somewhere totally different" OR "rent forever". It definitely causes some cognitive dissonance when I weigh that tough choice against my relative well-paying tech job.
- refurb 5y agoI mean that pretty much what every immigrant to the US ever did.
