A recent Polish immigrant that I worked with left and went back to Poland saying that he had had it with living in North American society .He said point blank in his words, "Everything is for work", meaning that all anyone cares about is working and making money. He told be that in Europe people cared about quality of life NOT working oneself to death....What do you think. Anyone have experience working in both areas????Thx.

That is all quite bizarre, cause I think we, Polish, care about the money more than think about the quality of life! Well, there is no quality without money...
In comparison to other european countries - we are almost nothing. Our country by itself means NO quality. If you have money, you can improve sth. That is why we go abroad to earn sth more, a sum that wouldn't be a humilation - as it is now... for example for teachers (own experience...).
There is a rat race in some places in here, but maybe because some of us are ambitious....

His theory makes a lot of sense to me. All that matters here is a big bank account and ridiculously large houses and overly expensive cars and designer everything. Buy, buy, buy to fill that emotional void!
