Out of the 4 things listed here, in the US the only one that's "normal" is a 40h workweek. 5 weeks of vacation is a lot unless you are really senior or pulled a lot of strings. 2weeks is the average "base" here. Solid health insurance is usually expensive. Public schools are "free" but you are going to have to pay for college. I don't know of any completely free colleges anywhere in the country. (Not saying there aren't any, but I've never heard anyone talk about a good one.)
