Most Americans enjoy moving from one place to another. They always seem to be going somewhere. For example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometers away just to have dinner with a friend, or they’ll even fly to Europe just to watch a football match. In many states, people don’t stay in the same house for more than five years. A person might be born in one city and go to school in another. He might finish middle school and high school in two different cities, and then attend college far across the country. When people start working, they often move from job to job before they find a career. This is very common in the United States. It can actually be a good thing for workers, because every new job gives them an opportunity to move up to a higher position and get better pay. It also gives employers, bosses, and managers a chance to benefit from the new ideas and skills that different people bring to their firms and factories.
