I don't live there anymore - I moved again after 3 years to a different country.
It was worth it because I got out of my home country which is a crap place to live - it turned a lot worse over the past decade too.
Also because it was straight after high school, I did not have much going for me in career prospects. I ended up getting a bit lucky and meeting the right person and got a job as a 1st employee in a startup which didnt work out, but has given me so much experience that my career took off afterward and I managed to do quite well for myself.
Just comparing my life to my brother who has basically taken the path I was going to, same type of career as well. My experiences past high school just seem so much better than his was/is. And in all honesty his life has been pretty good compared to the average of other people in my home country.
