You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Two bouts of unemploymentThe first was in the "extra year" of the PhD I never completed. As a libertarian, I feel a bit guilty about that (I wasn't at the time though). Spent about 6 months lying about looking for work. Slightly soul destroying really.
Second time I was in the US and got no benefits but had some savings to burn through due to the ridiculous discrepancy in housing costs. Had a great time bumming around and managed to end up with a pilot license.
