This is not a bash on American but rather an honest question.

You could also think of it in a lazy man's view: I'd have to learn everything all over again. The culture, customs, language, social norms, and a whole new brand of people. To someone who is more "I have to get out now", then they're probably going to be more open and willing to learning a whole new system.

The way I see it, it all comes down to one thing: Will I be better off if I lived somewhere new?
