When I was young I believed America used to be the best, is the best, and will always be the best country in the whole world. Growing up I am quickly realizing that America is going down the toilet with crazy socialist, corrupt government, and lazy bums that just want welfare. If I don't go to college I am planning on moving to Switzerland and I would like to know if that's a good idea? Do they have any weird crazy laws? Is it easy to get a job there? Health care? Please answer :)


Answer
Hate to be a downer bud but when you speak of 'crazy socialist' and 'welfare'... fact is most of the most advanced countries in the world have what many in the USA categorize as 'socialist' welfare programs.

Take Canada for example, The International magazine 'The Economist' recently judged 140 cities and three Canadian cities ended up in the top five. Another international think tank deems Canada as the best G20 country to be a woman... yet we have healthcare, government subsidies and welfare programs a plenty.
That's a huge part of why many think such countries are top ranked.

Define 'crazy laws'
No special interest group laws like granting gays or lesbians or Jews or Muslims or Sikhs etc etc special privileges?
Counties like Canada have no such laws - the true expression of freedom. Intolerance for any reason is frowned upon and the government couldn't careless about your love-life or bedroom. Gay marriage, totally legal here. What do we care how people live their lives [as long as kids aren't involved in a bad way]

"Policies that promote gender equality, safeguards against violence and exploitation and access to healthcare make Canada the best place to be a woman among the world's biggest economies, a global poll of experts showed on Wednesday."

Three Canadian cities are among the world's top five most livable cities. The survey ranks 140 cities based on a number of factors, including health care, stability, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Vancouver was the highest-ranked Canadian city, coming in third with an overall score of 97.3; Toronto came in fourth at 97.2; and Calgary tied for fifth place with Adelaide, Australia, at 96

Last issue - most countries including the USA wouldn't accept anyone as an immigrant without say, college or some professional skill.

A thought. You love the USA, so you should - great country.
Why go all the way across the world dude? Study in Canada, give a country with the same things your looking for in Switzerland a shot. Like it, awesome. Don't like it, the change of heart is only a drive across the border away.

"More than 90,000 students come to study in Canada every year and even more come to Canada to learn English or French. Foreign students bring a rich culture to our classrooms. Your knowledge and skills are welcome in our schools."

Canadian economy - terrific. Things cost more here than in the USA - but them again Canadians on average earn more. Inflation was down this month. Jobs are out there [I have 3 lol]

Food for thought perhaps.

Heart set on Switzerland, here's their Immigration site:

Best of luck regardless of which way the wind blows :)

Living cost in Sydney, Australia?




Rajesh Sin


Hi,
What is the monthly living costs in sydney for a family of 3(2 adults + 1 kid) on various expenses like rentals(furnished/unfurnished), internet, mobile phone, grocery, transportation to office, gas & petrol, Pre-Schooling for child etc.
i am being offered a annual salary of 73.5K Australian dollors, please let me know if this amount is ok ?
How much would be the tax outgo?

Thanks



Answer
If you are not on a PR then it will cost 4K for pre-school (if over 4 years). Under this age it will be very hard to get a place if your wife is not working (as that is what these facilities are for). 70K is mid-high for Sydney (well above new graduate salary) but for Sydney you need to have both partners working to live well (so a 120-150K combined salary is needed). For 70K you will need to live 50-60km out from the City to get a house to rent (closer and you will be lucky to get a 2 bedroom flat). Rent should be between $250 (low end) to $400 for a house (western Sydney 50K) to $400-600 for a 2 bedroom flat 10K from Sydney (a week). Furnished places are not common and are usually for businessmen and will be in the range of 1000K a week - so this is out of your price range. Internet is around $50 a month, mobile phone - depends how much you use it. Groceries for family of 3 - low end $200 a week. Public transport - max of $57 a week on the weekly pass.

The main consideration is that this is a good salary. The problem with many immigrants ideas is that in Sydney to live, BOTH partners work - you can count the number of married women who have children and dont work, on a single hand almost. Staying home to look after your child is a luxury your wife will not be able to afford if you wish to do more than just "pay the bills".
