What country do you live in and what do you think of it?
What are the costs of living like?
Are there many jobs?
No speculation please, Replies from euro's only please!

You're going to have a hard time getting responses from a form of currency.

UK, I like it.
More expensive than the US.
It's a pretty competitive market, but there are jobs.

If you have a degree in a pretty solid field, like math, are your chances of being able to move over there and get employment/citizenship decent?

More than likely, but I don't know why you would want to.

I've talked to quite a few people from Europe. The rebellious types I've talked to would rather live in the U.S. And some of the rebellious kiddies I know in the U.S. want to live in Europe. What gives?

I live the US but I have come to the conclusion that many people just dislike where they live because every country is full of problems. Maybe amsterdam is the solution? I have never been though just heard stories.

Well...legal pot is cool I suppose. But in my opinion I think amsterdam is way over crowded and is a shit hole. Drugs being legal or not really doesn't matter to me, I can use drugs if they are legal or not. There are a lot of other aspects that make a country good other than drug legality.

AMsterdams a very expensive city and they tend to only give away the lame jobs. You have to be recommended by your employer because they can't get a dutch person to do the job!
I'm looking into Portugal, although I wouldn't go there looking for work. You need to work in the UK where value of money is high then move to a cheaper country, thats the trick!

I thought the best thing about Amsterdam, when I went, was how nice and open all the people were. The canals were pretty cool too. But there were piles of shit everywhere. I don't know if they were dog, horse or bum, but there was definitely shit everywhere.
