Businesses will do the cheapest, easiest option for whatever it is they do. The question always comes down to what is cheap and/or easy. "Make the number go up as soon as possible."
They do not care. Just like they don't care about the coal they burn.
It's all up to the individual. Whatever makes your motor run. But I'd universally suggest traveling to other countries to experience different cultures first hand. Other than that... Just interact with and experience as many new things as you've got the bandwidth for.
Character matters.
