Well, I feel the same. I would have a pretty good shot at work in Ireland, but I won't really want to change my country, let alone move to Belfast for work that is not directly the type of work I want (Its game support). But yea, I can see the wages are quite different, but likely the prices for food and living are lower as well. A montly paid job for me, should I get one with just minimum wage would likely be around 5'950 $. (But then I would have to pay a good chunk of that in taxes).
