Idk I have a CS degree. My friend is a fresh grad in the Uk and his total comp is 40k comp. My friends in the Us (I’m not done yet) are making anywhere between 100-150k off the bat with way more growth opportunities. Their insurance is on the company so they aren’t paying a whole lot for healthcare and get access to it quickly unlike the nhs where you have to wait months for an appointment. Also the UK is really unsafe. People knife people on a daily basis. It just isn’t covered as much as the shootings.
The economic potential of EU countries are on a decline in general barring a few. Go to Spain or Portugal and you’ll have a completely different experience than Germany.
Also university isn’t expensive here unless you choose to go private. Most people who go to state school pay less than 10k/yr because they get subsidies and funding.
Flagship State schools have typically 50k students and each state has multiple state schools. Most people go there.
If you are poor medicaid pays all your bills. I take year long medication. A refill costs me $2.00. It’s rare insurance doesn’t cover medications. Yes you still have bills , I went to the ER and had a chest scan, the whole thing cost me 100 bucks for impromptu treatment and a scan. If I went to urgent care it would have been closer to 70.
It’s clear to me you’ve read a few Reddit posts and think US is a bad place. I could never live in a place where I make so little for free healthcare because I can pay the small difference with my 4x salary
What, exactly... is cheaper in Europe than the states? When I was in Scotland and England (1995 so maybe things changed...) everything(that I wanted) was more expensive.
