Ahh, yes, I'm aware of the culture shock. I can assure you, Poland is nowhere near the US in terms of living comfort. I'd have trouble calling Poland a civilisation, but anyway...I'm a fluent english speaker, so that's not a problem. I also hope to learn German soon.
A basic reason for the US i guess is the fact, that it's one of the best places for starting a business, which I intend to do one day. Don't get me wrong, I have considered European countries, possibly even Australia (though it's thinking far into the future).
I don't think I'm thinking as a usual engineer. I love the industry, after all, I'm a hobbyist, but at the same time money is a giant factor for me. I do like business and economics, I'd like to play the stock market, aquire assets, make some investments, as well as doing electronics design. I'm also a giant car freak, it has always been my dream to be a mechanical engineer, doing car design etc. That's why, I want to make two master's degrees.
So yeah, lots of dilemas...
