I went to the US for y2k , and was there for 5 years.
I came home with the exact same amount of money as I had when I left. And I also got a deep understanding for the absolute depths of cruel poverty in the US and for safety nets they don't have.
Do it. You'll never be the same, and you'll really appreciate Canada better.
Nicely phrased.
What did you do there, if you don't mind me asking?
I continued the work to build and maintain the "one true Unix" ;-) and a Linux side project until we sued IBM so they destroyed us.
So. Nerdy IT stuff that today we'd outsource and work remotely back here, but in 2k required working onsite in beautiful 2-person offices with closable doors, visual privacy, and a view of a happy groundhog most days.
