    It means new opportunities in Europe. If you live in the US, it might be interesting to know that many master studies in countries like Germany are given in English and have extremely low tuition.
    Work/life balance, healthcare and public transport are all better as well.

      While that sounds wonderful, it means I’d have to figure out how to fund a move to Europe (and pay tuition? idk how that works in other countries), assuming I even found a program I wanted with a school that would have me.

      Starting point: Bachelor’s Degree and ~ $175 to spare lmao

        The degree is fine but you need to save at least 10k or so because the German government isn’t going to grant you a multi-year visa if you cannot prove that you can take care of yourself financially. Tuition on public universities is generally low, many are tuition free but you will still need several hundreds of euros per year for related student services. And you are allowed to work locally to cover your expenses (housing, groceries etc)

      Even Germany beats America in public transport and that already was a low bar
