I see. I just dn't think you'll like those jobs much. BSN can easily fetch 50k starting out.

I love this line of work honestly XD

So, if I become senile, would you mind being my caretaker?

Cost of living in the US varies too much to give a definitive answer. In the Southeast, Midwest, and Mountain West, it's very cheap. Cost of living is closer to Eastern Europe than Western Europe.

I was able to buy a home and support my wife in school making 35k/year. I do a lot better than that now of course.

Was that like a long time ago and house prices have went up significantly then? Or are houses in the US just that cheap? :O

I'm from the Detroit area, and over there people were selling houses for $1! Of course, there were hidden costs underneath it that made it so that nobody wanted to buy it for even that price!

Hidden costs like it's built on a minefield and you need to pay hundreds of thousands to clear the mines (and wait a long time for it to be done) before you can live there? Well that or just hope you don't blow up while walking round your house one day I guess?

You have to pay a huge amount of taxes and the like on the property.

This was 2012 and I bought a brand new home that no one else had lived in. At the time, I lived 10 minutes away from a major university, but I lived in Louisiana. There's only very small pockets of expensive housing, everything else around in the city is very cheap. Not to mention the incredibly small property taxes.

How much can taxes be on a $1 property?

Just did a quick google search of Louisiana home prices... y'all lucky!

Guess I need to move to the US if I ever want to buy a house

and I lived in a decent sized city too. You can get really cheap if you just live in a more country area. Getting loans for rural housing is even easier than the conventional loan I got.

If you dislike your job and get paid terribly, join the military. Then you'll only hate your job. Get out in 4 years (or do what I had done and get out in 7) and get paid well to go to college. Then once college is over get online and look through temp services, quite a few of which will try to help with options more than others due to your military service and get a job making decent pay/great pay.

Worst that can happen: Get shot and killed, but hey, I live in Ohio too so not really a change as far as that goes.

I know for sure from what Star's said in the past that he's not really too keen on doing that!
