Comment I work in Germany (Score 5, Interesting) 374
As an American working in Germany, it's hard to give up such a comfortable job.
I'm paid well enough that my wife doesn't have to work, I set my own working hours, every overtime hour is paid out or taken as comp. time, I get six weeks vacation plus 13 bank holidays, unlimited sick days, and I actually enjoy my job!
I dread the day I return to the US for work. It used to be about the money, but now I have a son.
