>>212582971Depends what you're looking for. If you wage slave then Europe is better. If you have any kind of ambition then the US will be vastly simpler.
Given you have some method of income then the US is probably easier to build wealth. I wouldn't wish being low income in the US on anyone, while being low income in Europe is not that much different to a young person from being middle class as someone middle aged since you don't have significant expenditures.
Anything culture has the US beat, be that concerts, museums etc. Especially when you don't have a lot of money. While the nature in the US is stunning wherever you go. You can't even buy that here. Somehow even the shittiest roach infested Saar-Hotel in the US has better vibes than a hotel in the Saxon Alps. In terms of driving somewhere after you finish school or something there is simply nowhere to go. I can drive from Hamburg to Munich in a day.
I could go to a different EU member state but chances are that something just won't work there because I am not in a different state of my country, but in a different, well, country. In the US driving actually is a tremendous experience. But maybe I'm just nostalgic.
If you're looking for personal independence then the US is probably better especially when you're young, too. I am not talking about living in a cramped apartment for $2500 a month just to "live in the city". I think any European metropolis gives you a better experience than suffering in New York, LA, or wherever young Americans move to these days to pursue that aetheric "living in the city".
I would always keep my Europassport. It feels like the Western system almost exclusively exists for the Transatlantic person with a foot in the door on both continents. If you have any 1st world EU passport, specifically German or Irish, and a US passport you're basically living life on easy mode. Study here, work there, retire wherever your options are best.
