were you working less than 40 hours a week and not having much stressthen ? if yes you lucky guy and you should not have come. for your kids, you can send them to those nice public schools. at least i know in beijing, a lot of nice schools they don't have much homework for kids any more. and if your kids are good enough they can get into those top universities with top major. after that they can easily get into top jobs, $wise much better than here. the only thing is if long work hours and stress is an issue for the family...
