Want to move

15 years ago
I really REALLY want to leave the US and move to Europe. I am thinking Switzerland would be nice. My wife and I have been married only a year and a half and we're both under 30(I'm 28, she's 26). I don't really want to buy a house here in the US because I really don't want to stay here. How hard is it for first-time home buyers in Switzerland? If/when we move, I will be just finished with my BS in mathematics and a minor in computer science. Should I have a hard time finding work that would allow us to buy a starter house? What do starter houses run there? Also, we would like to have children so how is the education system there?

If you don't think Switzerland would fit our needs, where else would you recommend I try that isn't cold?

I personally don't care where, as long as it isn't here. I don't like it here and I don't belong here and I want out.
