I love my job and it pays me enough to not worry about it. The secret is living in any western country except the U.S.

    Ridiculously expensive housing without the salaries to match. But at least I don't have to worry about going broke if ever someone in the family gets sick I guess.

    Right, because there isn't rampant capitalism and wide spread poverty pretty much everywhere else too.. 🙄🙄🙄

    🙄 the US has plenty of not the majority of high paying jobs. Working in high skill STEM pays absurdly good.

    It's like skill jobs that get fucked.

    The absolute number doesn't matter much if the expenses of living in the STEM-riddled areas are just as high, if not higher.

    And Europe isn't expensive to live? Canada? Australia? All of them have very high CoL in population centers. Especially tech hubs. The only place that's significantly out of whack is CA and to be honest, much of the time it's still worth it. Go remote and get the best of both worlds is quite common and easy.

    He's right though, live in western Europe and I got both the time and money to enjoy life.

    Even the poorest in my country have a "right to vacation", special programs allow them to travel for barely any money.
