There's even a trend for US grads relocating to developing economies. A lot of us (me included) have found very interesting work/life arrangements in places with lower taxes, lower rent and higher salaries (relative to cost of living of course). There's even a smallish trend of people expatriating to avoid crushing student loan debt. IMHO I'd expect that to increase. http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/23/pf/college/student_loan_fugitives/ http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/23/pf/college/student_loan_fugi...

As one of those people, I have to say taxes and prices are much lower in the USA than say china or Thailand. Especially when you get away from food and low end services. I work in china but shop in the states on my visits back. As far as salary goes, I'm a bit below us levels but can save alot because I don't need, nor could I buy even I I wanted to, a car. Working in Swiss was like that also, things were just too expensive to buy so I was able to save alot.
