  • “Extremely high tuition fees for colleges” this is also highly dependent on states and whether or not you’re considering having children in that state.

    You’re initially correct, it’ll be high tuition rates for you, but your future generations may greatly benefit from a citizenship/resident status.

    Example:

    My dad is an expatriate from Morocco to Florida, USA.

    He never finished college because he had kids he had to work to support. However, Florida is one of 17 states that offers state-government-funded merit scholarships. Between that and fafsa, I went to a state university (UCF) completely free the first go around.

    UCF is a highly recruited STEM school (engineering, finance, accounting) with a pipeline to high paying LOTS of jobs on the space coast. A lot of these jobs easily pay 6 figures in the first 5-10 years of the career, offer good health insurance, et cetera.

    Work life balance will be profession and company dependent. I’ve been at companies where I worked 60 hours / week every year, and I’m currently at a company where I work 25 hours / week.
