Considering the cost of living and tax rates in the UK, I'm not surprised your income is higher. If I lived in the UK, my current grad student stipend wouldn't even be enough to allow me to starve to death.

Oh if we're talking about being a student
How much does it cost to go to university or college over there again? I didn't work through either and my debt comes to about £5k ($10k)!
I think you'll find British universities are also filled with international students (including many from America).Is that why so many American universities are filled with international students (including many from Britain)?
The average UK person will this year have a greater income than their US counterpart for the first time since the 19th Century, figures suggest.
The country's reputation as "rip-off Britain" seems assured, after research by banking giant HSBC showed only Norway and France had higher living costs.
The survey, which uses data from the Economist Intelligence Unit, ranks countries according to the relative cost of sustaining a typical British lifestyle and illustrates how long a Briton's typical annual expenditure would last overseas.
Of course, this seems based around consumer spending and doesn't quantify health costs, for instance. Need a heart bypass or a hip replacement in some parts of the world? It's going to cost you, big time...

Maybe it's just something universities the world over have in common![]()

Wow, took you guys long enough...
I don't know that saying you're better than Americans is that much of a victory. I'm from America (Ohio) but my China made toothpick is better than America.
Our only saving grace at the moment is that in 11 months time, we may be back on the road to recovery...
I really don't hold America in that high regard anymore. I lost my Patriotism after this whole "Iraq/Afghanistan/Iran/Still Can't find Bin Laden/Patriot Act that takes away rights/Almost a Police State/America is the Police of the world" thing
