    I plan on moving there as soon as possible when I graduate high school. Real tired of America

      Come to Ireland, the weather is mostly shite but global failures on climate change are making it very Mediterranean

          How is Ireland’s tax rate any different to Delaware’s. Opportunity cost isn’t the same

        I was planning on Germany, and I’ve recently met a German friend online which has solidified my choice

          @Hikiru @Squizzy I live in Spain and I’m planning to move to Denmark or Norway in a few years. Heat is impossible to manage here, and the political system is almost beyond salvation.

            I’m considering Hamburg, it’s where my friend lives and I’ve heard it’s a nice city

              Oh nice, than you’ll be right in my neighbourhood. Hamburg is really nice and the northern Germans are the best ones (no bias of course :D).

        Your visas are hard to get without a job, and the only jobs hiring foreigners are… big tech companies. I tried Ireland for years before giving up and going elsewhere.

      Some countries in EU offer Americans free education and easy work permits after graduation. I think Germany has program like that.

        Germany is what I’m planning on but you need to have 11,208 euros (if I remember the number correctly) to prove you can support yourself for a visa to study there

      Theres plenty of places that need workers, in the EU!

      Depending on your education it will be easier or harder, of course (also which country you plan on going to)
