What could possibly posess me (Or my mate) to move to America?
So a very good friend of mine has an American mother, holds a US passport and is entitled to live and work in the states. He's been considering it of late having graduated last year and we got talking about him potentially making the move. We've both been to the states a couple times, I personally couldn't see myself tolerating it - but we are different people and he is considering it a viable option.
So my question to all those who are from the States - why move there. What has your part of America actually got to offer these days?
^For the sake of clarity i'm in no way attempting to talk him out of a move.

2 RepliesNew England (which encompasses Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut and Rhode Island) is a very nice region of the US. From mountains to beaches and more. Boston is a great city, more or less the oldest in the US. [url=http://www.visitnewengland.com/]Here's the tourist site for New England, basically details all the nice stuff around here. Much better than I'd be able to describe[/url]

(Europe is an obvious exception, but the countries there are the size of our states and you have to deal with the hassle of crossing political borders more often.) This does vary depending on where you live, though. Small towns in the Midwest don't have a lot of various cultural influences, though. On the other hand, the Midwest is a unique culture in and of itself, being heavily influenced by Germanic settlers. Then you have New England, the East Coast, West Coast, the Bible Belt, etc. Each area has a unique culture.

If you want to be an engineer, or computer/software developer, California is great. Lots of jobs available to people in those fields, not to mention awesome weather(if you like the sun). I couldn't begin to tell you how different it is from Europe though.

Edited by LordSaladz: 1/24/2013 8:56:22 PMAwesome American food like tacos, pizza, etc. Jk But seriously, I've never been outside the states expect for when I was born in Germany (military). It really depends on what you are looking for. You can move to the snowy mountains, beautiful beaches, quiet country, or even a huge metropolis. Everything is so diverse and you can pretty much find a hint of every culture in the world (to an extent). In other words, American football should be reason enough.

Question changed slightly for better clarification on the topic.

The number one reason to move to the United State from another country(that is not part of North America..), Chicks/Dudes love a foreign accent, you'll be up to your eyes in tail.

1 ReplyIt depends where you are moving to. The US is pretty diverse and it really depends where your friend wants to move and what opportunities he is seeking.

1 Replywhich states have you been to?

Tell me what your country of residence has got to offer that would actually hold a person back from a better opportunity?

FREEDOM!

Where in the States? The US is the 4th largest nation by size and the 3rd by population. Living in Maine is different than living in Vermont than NJ than NY than CA etc..... Hell, living in North California is different than living in South California.

[quote]So my question to all those who are from the States - why move there. What have you actually got to offer these days?[/quote] It's an incredibly large, diverse (geographically and culturally) that the answer to that is going to depend on what the potential visitor/emigrate is looking for.

More opportunity? Weather that doesn't suck?
