Sell your soul to your job and the dollar because it’s the only way to be successful in this country. Be prepared to pay $100 just to walk into the doctors office. Plan on having kids? That’ll cost you $10k out of pocket with MAYBE 6 weeks leave for it (unpaid). Seriously do research on what you eat. Our laws are written by the billionaire class so food isn’t as regulated here. Buy a car and be prepared to drive everywhere. The US is huge and has a ton of awesome geography to see. Stay away from the south. Seriously. Americans love the Irish so be ready to be loved by everyone you meet. Keep a stress ball and whiskey handy when doing your taxes. They’re a huge headache. If you haven’t already, I’d recommend getting your degree in Ireland first if you have plans to go to school (if you haven’t already). University is quite expensive and you will need loans or scholarships to pull it off. Give up on buying a home unless you want to live in Oklahoma or Kansas.
