I look forward to coming back to the US, but I'm not looking forward to this absolutely horrible concept of having 10-15 days off a year. Vacation time is a friggin' joke in the US.

Wow, 25 days minimum is alot more than we get here. Maybe more Americans would travel more if we had the time off work. I get 3 weeks, and that's high for here. Where I work it takes years to get a week, then another week, topping out at 3 weeks. My hubby gets
no vacation where he works, and nobody else does, either. No matter how long they have worked there.
My three months between high school and college were spent working, saving money for college. As are the summer months between college years. Student loans/grants/scholarships didn't pay for it all; we were expected to make our own financial contributions as well. But that was back when you couldn't get a home loan without a sizeable down payment.
