    What are you talking about.

    they earn twice a European salary for two years

    What industry are you in that an American salary is competitive with a European equivalent? Not only is the cost of living in Europe lower than it is in the United States the renumerations are also consistently higher.

      The only American salaries consistently lower than European salaries are service worker salaries, who are not high skilled workers.

      Probably healthcare, doctors, nurses, PA’s, techs etc. make a lot less in Europe than in the US. But they also don’t have nearly the associated debt.
