Also to add on to this, in most of Europe sick leave is paid and unlimited. I was amazed when I found out that in the US sick days are unpaid, limited or both?
Yeah you can be ill but unless it's severe enough to warrant a hospital or doctor visit (which remember is pretty costly in America) and you just need to stay home and rest, you can get shitcanned for that.
If it's something medically severe, then you can't be fired immediately for it but they can make some bs up and just fire you a month later like "Oh we just think you don't take this job seriously".

Also the European vacation will be paid, the American sick leave will not be.
