No, if I’m between real jobs, I do whatever other sorts of work needed to pay my bills. I have worked with plenty of high skilled people who did just as I described though, immigrants, Americans, etc. they earn twice a European salary for two years, then get laid off in a downturn or quit and spend a year doing dumb shit and net out ahead anyway.
What industry are you in that an American salary is competitive with a European equivalent? Not only is the cost of living in Europe lower than it is in the United States the renumerations are also consistently higher.
Tech workers in the US can actually come out ahead. It’s very far from being the case in most fields though.
The average mid level salary is roughly twice that of the EU, with the discrepancy getting more extreme with experience. The system is grossly unfair, so the best compensated jobs also tend to have the lowest health care costs and best vacation packages.
Obesity, a global logistics machine which spreads instability and advances America’s interest throughout the world, sometimes blowback from #2, and finally the ability to take a long time off between high paying jobs since you won’t get vacation time and you will probably get laid off or burnt out in a couple of years.

What are you talking about.

Probably healthcare, doctors, nurses, PA’s, techs etc. make a lot less in Europe than in the US. But they also don’t have nearly the associated debt.
The only American salaries consistently lower than European salaries are service worker salaries, who are not high skilled workers.
And what does that extra money get you in the long run?
