Like most US folks, I wish I had job flexibility and the money to just up and emigrate. Alas most have no choice but to stay.
I gave up my career and started over in something entirely different at a paltry salary, but I got out.
I totally understand your decision, but historically emigration is FILLED with stories of even professionals like doctors and engineers needing to accept very low paid wage work and re-credentialing in exchange for a longer term reset in a better country.
Again, I absolutely get it - but that’s not the same thing as “no choice”.
You still have to have the money to move, be healthy enough to be accepted by the new country, etc. For many many people there is no choice. None. Often those that need it most.
Not blaming anyone that has the agency to leave. But it is what it is.
Can confirm, I cut my salary in half to escape
i think doctors and scientists would have an easier intergrating than othe rprofessionals, givien how they arnt making a complete change in thier career, just “relocation”, plus the benefits of being one these groups.
limited for those that dont have a spouse, PHD, MD, or some kind of niche speciality that isnt demand in other country. or you are unable to apply for grad school in those countries.
My only option is arguably worse than the US. Only positive is that I could go to the beach more.
