I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

I think it's pretty difficult to move to Switzerland. They don't exactly have an open door policy. It is part of Schengen though, so that might make it easier [even though Schengen is in its death throes.]
Edit: to be specific, US citizens can enter the Schengen Area and move internally inside it without a visa, for pleasure or business, for 90 days within a 180 day period, so you can't just hop back in. [Note this does not include the opt-out areas Britain and Ireland, although you can travel between Britain and Ireland without a passport. A specific visa is required for these countries]
Some countries in the Schengen Area allow US citizens to participate in paid work as part of their Schengen Visa, but not Switzerland. The countries that allow it are: Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, Finland and Norway. Switzerland only allows citizens from Andorra, Monaco, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Japan and New Zealand to work as part of their Schengen entry visa [so if you have dual nationality with any of those places... lol].
If you happen to have Canadian citizenship, and are between the ages of 18-35, you can get a 1 year working holiday visa for Switzerland.
Getting a work permit in Switzerland is notoriously difficult. In the first place, the Swiss government sets quotas on the numbers of work permits it issues. These are being reduced. You need to get a Swiss company to hire you [from OUTSIDE Switzerland], and this position needs to be a high-salary professional, managerial or specialist, which arises from a specific university degree and multiple years of professional experience, one for which no Swiss are eligible or suitable at that time AND it must be inside the quota establishment. To work in Switzerland as a self-employed person you need the settlement residency permit, which US and Canadian citizens can acquire after staying in Switzerland for five years.

Also, it's a very expensive place, similar to the nordic countries. Many Swiss drive regularly to Germany to buy groceries and fuel. So, unless you have a job there (which will have a higher average salary than elsewhere, though), it might be difficult to sustain a normal life standard. That depends on your resources of course. But yeah, a job is probably a must-have anyway.
