POLL: Do you want to live & work in Europe?

There's a cross-Europe trip in my future.

Work there? Possibly, but not in France. A friend of mine who works fairly high up for IBM regrets moving there dearly; and she was a pretty strong leftist when she left Canada. Working conditions and efficiency, healthcare, roads and traffic, infrastructure (namely telephone lines) are all hellish, in her opinion.

I'll be visiting Europe next year. Why does it suck so bad? Just curious.
 
I worked in Germany for Hewlett Packard for almost 7 months. Was a lot of fun, got to see a lot of Europe. Biggest thing I missed was my family and friends.
 
I'd like to tour Europe, but I can't see myself living there. Maybe in Italy or Greece, but not any of those... other.... countries.
 
I've visisted Europe and it was pretty cool. If I had to choose a country to live in it would probably be Spain. Very friendly people.

The whole Continent sucks?

Where did you visit?
 
I wouldn't want to live in any of them. I've live overseas allmost all of my childhood - Turkey, Germany, greece, and panama. The only place I'd really want to live, outside of the US, would be panama.

Yea, the Air Force. I like Turkey because it certainly is a beautiful nation with rich history, but it is hard to get over the culture shock when you're there. Not to mention getting treated bad consistantly by many Turks (but I would expect to get looked down upon in any 3rd world country).. One incident that I remember was when the turks who worked on base went on strike over theri wages (hell, they were already making WELL MORE than the average Turk made), and they threw broken glass into the base swimming pool. Not to mention that theft on base was pretty bad.

One think I do miss though was visiting the ruins of the country's many castles, and being friend with the Mayor of a seaside town. His estate encompassed an orchard and was right on the water - we stayed in his beachside villa often.

Heh... interesting, being from Turkey myself, whenever I visit my home country, I see that most civilians welcome Americans in every way they can...
I am guessing you were living in Adana, where I am actually from, and I lived there for 17 years. Whenever I go back home, it's always fun to see an American family checkin out the stores in "Real" (new built mall - biggest mall in Europe, size wise) and start a conversation with them... I usually exchange information and usually meet up with them for dinner and everything...
I think the biggest problem with Americans in Turkey is the lack of communication between Americans and Turkish civillians...

How do you plan to get there?

Love to and get to may be different sadly. 😀 Ideally I'd find a company who recognizes a skilled young IT worker when they see it and help me out 😉 How did you get started working there?
