80hours··on The Euro falling into a recession?

80hours··on The Euro falling into a recession?

Nothing special. Euro would be exchanged with national currencies. No money will be lost or anything. Just a giant currency conversion, but with some turbulence around it.

Having said that, the Euro is a great project. It will trigger a common European economic policy and that will push Europe to the next level.

You can get a work visa (similar to US green card) if you can find a job that pays more then 46000 Euro/Year. That is the typical IT starting salary for companies like SAP or Microsoft Germany - if you are good ;)
