Why do Americans have such a strong reluctance to travel abroad for work? I've never understood it.

Do Americans have a strong reluctance to travel abroad for work? I haven't noticed one way or the other. When I graduated in 2001, my 'reluctance' was based on broke-ness. The difficulty affording even a $75 fee (for a background check to work for the local school district) meant that the thought of leaving all my connections and going several thousand dollars into debt for overseas relocation didn't even cross my mind.
