The US is horrible for many young men.Mr.Darcy wrote:US of hell is horrible.
Most young men are if they have no savings. It's going to be much worse is you have student loans.Mr.Darcy wrote:I feel like I am stuck in a pickle.
There's a lot of hope. The best thing to do is to finish college.Mr.Darcy wrote:I have pretty much a year of college left and I don't see any hope.
Nearly every country in the world has strict immigration laws. Many only give citizenship to a person if they have a parent, ancestor, or spouse with citizenship. Aside from that you either need to be wealthy or celebrity. Immigration to any other First World or Industrialized nation will be nearly impossible. The only country in Europe where permanent residency is relatively easy to gain is in Montenegro if you open a business. Working Holidays are offered to Americans by Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. There are many barriers to leaving America to expatriate as a commoner than most other countries. Other countries have better social programs, are more about blood (ethnic ties), and restrictive. With a business degree it will be very difficult to emigrate to another country because every country has a large number of students graduating with business degrees. STEM degrees have an easier time emigrating and so do agricultural majors if you consider Australia or New Zealand.Mr.Darcy wrote:...it seems like every other livable country has strict immigration laws.
It's better than being poor and unemployed in America. Everyone needs a job to save money to move abroad. Work, focus on yourself, and plan for the future. No one in America is having the time of their lives. They only believe they are having the time of their lives. The perception of reality is distorted for most people in America (and I would also add many in the Western World). Being one of the enlightened and realizing that they will eventually be destroyed, financially ruined, have substandard relationships, reach a crisis later in life where they wonder what they actually achieved, and then maybe having their eyes opened that they didn't find true happiness isn't a good life. The rat race in America is only present if you intend to stay in America, conform to the American ways (buy, spend, keep up, get an American wife, try to live on credit, get knocked down by American society, and then struggle to get back up, repeat). The rat race is nonexistent if you intend to eventually leave America or do something other than the American rat race.Mr.Darcy wrote:I graduate college, and get a corporate job in Atlanta or something. That sounds like hell lol. What am I going to do there? Everybody around me will be having the time of their lives while I will be some lonely black man stuck in the rat race.
You shouldn't want to move to Hawaii. Hawaii is much more expensive than the mainland, has one of the highest tax rates, and a high cost of living. You'll see a lot of girls in bikinis on the beaches and if you can't get one of them then it will probably make you more depressed.Mr.Darcy wrote:Hawaii seems like paradise, but how will I make the move there?
How would you feel seeing girls like this in front of you everyday and not being able to have one of them or any (attractive) girl?

An American has the right to move to any of the American territories.Mr.Darcy wrote:How do I move to Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands? Guam or Samoa lol?
Puerto Rico: 13.1% unemployment
Virgin Islands: 13% unemployment
Guam: 10% unemployment
American Samoa consistently has a 22%+ unemployment rate (23.8%, 2010)
Wages are also lower and the opportunities are virtually nonexistent in two of those four territories (Guam, and American Samoa), and the Virgin Islands isn't much better in many regards. Unless you have your own business or can somehow attract large numbers of tourists from the mainland and first world nations it might be very difficult to make it in three of the four. Did you think about it and read about those four American territories? They might be great for tourists, retirees, or a vacation home (if your rich) but life won't be economically better or economically easier compared to the mainland.
