Is raising a family, in Newton, Massachusetts or raising a family in Perth or Melbourne, Australia better? |
Travel Info Better, I mean with education, accesibility to other places, resources, jobs (medical profession), entertainment, safety etc. Is America really as dangerous as people say it is? Does every second person have a gun? Is Massachusetts a relatively safe state in america? Does Massachusetts have a shortage of doctors? What is the best place in america to raise a family with regards to what I have mentioned? I am from Australia Travel Tips I don't know the answer to this question, but I think it is interesting what you have heard about the US. I do not know many people who own guns. The only people who I know that own guns have rifles (or whatever) for hunting deer. Most people I know hate guns. I have never felt unsafe living in the US. I think the media has a lot to do with it. The news outlets only show negativity. I live in an urban environment and never feel unsafe there. I wouldn't want to walk a few blocks away on a weekend night, but I wouldn't feel safe doing that anywhere. The only place in the US that you may find a shortage of doctors is in very rural or poor communities. The only potential problem that you may have is that there is really no government sponsored health insurance for the general public. So, you will want to make sure to accept a job that offers health benefits. Mass. is one of the most liberal states in the nation. I don't live there, but have always had a great experience there. The airport could improve a bit, but I have always felt safe in Boston and surrounding areas. It does have a high cost of living. That is really its only downfall. |
