I also wanted to go to the US to work. When I was done studying, and had a degree. Moving to NYC to work was a life goal until I researched the working conditions. Fuck that.

I'd say movies and tv series are the blame to the youth wish to live there.. who hasn't dreamed to be in the NY of "Friends" per example?

Then you start thinking that they had huge apartments and were almost never working and that doesn't match with reality 🤣

Well, rent WAS cheaper back in the 90s, but NYC wasnt that cheap.
