@@BobKnight-mm2ze Thank you! And I wish you luck on your journey too 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. And yes I came back at like the worst time 🤦🏾‍♂️ I thought about Switzerland but I was so exhausted from the Italian immigration process that I didn’t have the strength to start another (At least for now) But I will say I’m excited for this next chapter!

@@designerboy420 I hear you, sometimes you just want some BBQ and potato salad (and cornbread). But look, as long as your passport is good (and, you know, you don't get arrested and get visa restricted haha) you can always leave again. But get yourself up and running, a person needs to feel like they're standing on solid financial ground. And hey, if this was the end to your time abroad, NOW you know how life can be. And that perspective is yours to keep!

@@BobKnight-mm2ze Exactly! I like your perspective 🙌🏾 After Italy I know that I will forever be going abroad. But like you said I need to get finances back to where they were before I left so I can enjoy it once again.

@@anna_lis A sad reality but a necessary one to not remain stuck. I’m also excited to watch your updates as well Anna.

@@designerboy420 You're right and thanks, i'm planning to come back to youtube after a long break, so I got a video cooking right now 👩‍🍳

Yes, I should do a video on these topics! I honestly could do a multiple-part series on Italian bureaucracy. I will never understand why the bureaucracy in this country needs to be so crazy. Why does it feel like endless steps and constant arguing to get simple things done? It almost incentivizes doing things the 'wrong' way just to not deal with the mess that is the public sector.

De gustibus

@ “de pecunia” e “stile di vita” più che altro. Mi tengo la mia Bg, grazie

Hahaha, il buco nero Milano! Milano è solo per lavoro. e grazie.

@@loreCarbonell👍

no place is perfect, and the U.S. has its own problems, but this isn't about comparing which country is 'worse'; you made that decision in your own head. My move is about finding the right fit for my goals right now. I’ve loved Italy, but the decision to leave depends on what I need to grow.

Not all Americans live on the streets and not all American have no health insurance. I am studying in the U.S and for me its mandatory to have a health insurance! I pay way less per month than I have paid in Switzerland for my health insurance. America has so many great doctors and nurses, guess where the majority of research is coming from, Stanford, Yale, you name it. As a future nurse in the U.S I will not rely on tips, I will earn more money than a doctor earns in Italy, so do your research.

I don't plan to move to the US but you must admit that the Italian welfare system has shrunk over time and that social guarantees are very few compared to other countries.

@@truthseeker4084 you will earn more than a doctor in Italy by being a nurse, too bad you don't know the economy, the cost of living in America is much higher and you will be forced to work like a donkey, I think you are the one who has to study, but what can you expect from a nurse

@@designerboy420 we won't miss you, mine is a consideration on what you said previously, frankly I would never live in the USA, a country without history, with racial tensions and a social inequality that leads to having over 30 percent of citizens depressed, given the use of fentanyl and other things

Grazie per aver condiviso il tuo pensiero! Molti vedono ancora l'Italia come 'La Dolce Vita,' ma per i giovani oggi la realtà del lavoro è tutt'altro che facile.

Addio , seguilo. 👋

Thank you for your kind words. Good luck as well with your future. :)

La cosa divertente è che lui ha notato molti problemi dopo un anno mentre alcuni politici italiani li negano da decenni...

@@LUDOVICOPAPALIA eh già...

Careful, he might grape you

Yes, it's so sad. Italy is such a beautiful country, and Italian art is some of the best in the world. It was one of the main reasons I wanted to come. But sometimes, it's best to move when the place is no longer sustainable for you. (I want to come back and enjoy it with a different perspective.)

You completely understand! It's very unfortunate, that this is the case.

Italian here. Also the fact that for some unknown reasons americans have a concept of ''Italy'' totally destroyed after 9/11 and the '08 Subprime Crisis (''La Dolce Vita'', a country permanently stuck in the '50-'90s loop, a never ending ''economic miracle'' and general optimism and relaxed life, the usual stereotypes of loud people with mandolin and gondolas etc etc'' doesn't help at all. All these thing were true ... but now they're gone. We're just an average western globalized crumbling country. Also i see many americans totally unaware of the big internal difference (North / South, Milan and the other cities etc etc)

@@loreCarbonell Ironically this is what makes Italy and America similar. People watch Baywatch and think America is working and then rushing home to your beachfront apartment to surf after work. When in actuality, California has a huge housing crisis because average incomes are completely disproportionate to the cost of renting let alone owning a home.

@ i know. My former girlfriend was from Marin County. You’re 100000% right

This is precisely it!

@@Younessss_ Yeah, you’re right 😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much! I’m sending you positive energy with your life and I hope to start posting new videos on my next chapter soon 🙌🏾

@@usernamenotfound2000 ❤️🙌🏾

Polimi also has very efficient secretariats for international mobility that could be useful next time!😉

@@usersjrbck_1318 Hello, I’m doing much better. I know their economic system doesn’t favor young people at all. But here is the thing I would go for the experience and the cheaper tuition but not for the long term of starting a life there. So when you get to your second year you can really try to push to find something else in another EU country if you want to stay on that continent. But that’s really hard too, and it’s hard if you need to work during your studies in Italy (that’s like not existent so keep that in mind) :/ but it will all work out ❤️

​@@designerboy420 my masters delivers for a year included 4months of internship. And I'm a non EU citizen. So.... i feel like it is not easy to get a job in another EU country after my intern. Unfortunately tuition fee is way more expensive than normal public uni.

@@designerboy420 So would you say overall that you would've hoped if you studied in a different country?

@ Nah, I enjoyed being in Italy. I just wished my expectations were more aligned with reality

Thank you for your kind words; I really appreciate them. :) I am glad my videos are reaching people so they can try to prepare before arriving in Italy. I wish you the best of luck whether you decide to stay in Italy or travel to somewhere else that fits you. 🙌🙌🙌

From North America to France is still a big downgrade, if you only care about salaries.

@@barondino4628 Can you give us a salary range, I am curious too.

@@chidozienkemdirim6393 Awww thank you so much. I’m sorry it didn’t turn out how you expected but often that really leads to a new direction of where you need to go. ❤️

Hello! Good for you for taking pattern-making classes. Those will be so helpful. If I could give advice, the best thing is to go out to a party, club, or even an event. (This was hard for me because I would get in a bad mood and not want to talk to anyone.) But I am always delightfully surprised. Networking is key, and I would also find freelance clients in these environments. Make an amazing portfolio and show it to everyone, and this will lead to jobs.

​@@designerboy420 Thats also true! im the same after an year im closing a bit socially but u gotta put yourself out there. Any fav spots in the city to do so?

@@solahumada9822 My favorite areas are Isola, Porta Venzia and Nolo ❤

Unfortunately, no :/

Thank you for your insight. However, I wanted to add that the situation for workers in Italy can be quite challenging. Typically, true freelancers manage multiple clients, which allows them to diversify their income and potentially negotiate better rates. However, in many cases, companies in Italy hire freelancers in a way that resembles full-time employment but without providing the stability or benefits of a full-time contract. These freelancers end up working full-time hours for a single company but are still classified as independent contractors. This arrangement often results in lower overall compensation than one might expect for similar work in other parts of the EU.

You are correct when it comes to the salaries. Since Italian wages are statistically lower than their EU counterparts, comparing them to American salaries would significantly change the variables. However, In my opinion, it is still cheaper to live in Italy. In America, you must pay for a car, car insurance, gas, and maintenance; our health care cost is the most expensive in the world. We must tip when paying for a service. Our groceries are expensive. And since many things aren't made in America we pay for overseas goods. So yes, the salary is less, but the money goes further in Italy than in the USA.

She will need to receive the student visa first because she will not be able to apply for the residence permit without showing the visa. So once she receives that, she will have a part of the permit process. She will still need to combine it with other docs like health insurance etc....

This is the one I had. Its super easy and not expensive for a whole year: www.waitaly.net/en/
