in your own objective opinion, which is better? US citizenship or EU citizenship?

However, last week, I interviewed and was offered a new job in a EU nation. If I accept their offer, I will
end up making way less money, probably less than USD$89000 per year, before the high taxes in that country.
(but I will live in a EU nation)

When you're deciding whether or not to accept the offer, keep in mind as a US citizen you're going to be taxed on your worldwide income. I.e., you will also pay US tax on income earned in this other EU nation. (And this applies to greencard holders as well.)

If there is a tax treaty, you should get credit for the EU nation taxes that you pay. (Keep in mind though you may get hit with alternative minimum tax (AMT) and may have to pay additional US tax even if you move to a higher tax jurisidiction.) If not, you may want to consult with an international accountant to see what you'd be making net and if you can live with it.

Thank you so much. My own reason to keep all her passports is exactly because of some benefits. She is very intelligent and i know she wants finish college here but also she is looking for to some college overseas in the future.

US is silent on dual citizenship - that is, US allows its citizens to hold multiple passports. You need to check what the dual citizenship policy is for those other countries.

From the internet (which you should verify with the actual consulate):

Brazil - dual citizenship allowed
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_nationality_law

Portugal - dual citizenship allowed
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_citizenship

China - dual citizenship not allowed (Looks like Chinese citizenship is automatically revoked, it doesn't need to be actively renounced. At the least, once you naturalize and get her US citizenship, Chinese citizenship will be revoked.)

Since the person in question already holds Brazilian and Portuguese passports, doesn't that mean that their Chinese citizenship is already void?

Based on what the original poster wrote it looks like all passports were acquired when the child was an infant. Also the Brazilian and Portugese passports may have been technically obtained before the Chinese one (i.e., maybe not triggering automatic revokation). I don't know the specifics of Chinese law, but I would not be surprised if in such a case the child would be able to decide which citizenship to retain once she reached majority (18 or 21).

Before the US allowed dual citizenship, I had friends who were born in Canada whose parents later immigrated to the US while they were minors and obtained US citizenship. They were temporarily allowed to retain dual citizenship until they became 18. At that point for US purposes they had to choose between the US and Canadian citizenships.
