Surrender,

Why did have the impression that you live in the USA? I was wrong all along

It is a fact that people in America are more fortunate than other Somalis in Europe etc...when it comes to apportunty..With us it is like a peace of cake offered to you to eat...Simply because if someone is really serious enough he/she can go to school all they want, can go to work all they want, can do partime/full-time....and jobs are available...The choice is theirs..They can be on welfare for the rest of their lives or they can be heart surgeons..No one is stopping them...

In other words, "The American Dream" is always available..

It seems some of you have it very easy in Europe. My tuition per year is 15,500 and that doesnt include and those must be paid by all students at the Uni.

Why did I always think Tech was cheap? Isn't it a state school?

[I, Caligula]

so i see Americans/North americans are luckeir than us!

Hardly.

You guys pay next to nothing for school. Some of the schools I'm looking at are ranging around 45,000 a year, which is around 28,000 dollars in GBP.

Even with aid, my tuition will never be as light as 6,000 or 7,000. You Brits are the lucky ones with dirt cheap tuitions.

[Kolombo]

blithe,

Which schools are you looking at?

[LaQaNyO]

Alhamdulilah I had my tuition fees all paid for in addition to, I also received a grant- £3000 spread over my 3yrs of study ( It is not much but it is free)... Until now I regret taking out student loans in my first 2 years of studies! Stick to interest-free overdrafts with student accounts

[surrender]

Kambuli

me? hardly. i live in the UK. and education here isnt all that runtii. but i guess you guys have it all. america is the land of opportunity i heard! untill you dont have any money which then you just die! is it true you guys have to have health insurence or you wont get treated in hospitals at all!? here isnt all that "opportunity" as class system still exist! but the walfare system does treat people equally. shame our people take walfare system as free ride!

[FAH1223]

if you dont have health insurance, you're screwed

thats why healthcare is number one issue this year

but the problem is when you try to live beyond your means... people need to be sensible and go with what works rather than flashy stuff

America will recover faster because the government doesn't have as much invested in social entitlement programs as the Europeans

Yeah right
what do you know about investment in social???
You need to get your fact right dont gibberish

[FAH1223]

JOHN, Europe's high payroll taxes, along with restrictions on when and how companies can lay off workers, make employers slower to rehire when a recession ends.

That's one reason why economists expect the U.S. to stabilize faster than Europe. The euro-zone economy will keep shrinking next year, whereas the U.S. should be growing by then.
