    Seconding this. Moving to another country without skilled work history and/or higher education in a niche field that would be of use to the destination country is extremely hard to do. You, basically, have to beat out a skilled worker that already lives there. The other option is to be wealthy and buy your way in.

    A lot of people have this misconception that moving elsewhere is easy. Turns out, when assholes yell at you about leaving the country when you don’t like something, they’re not being genuine and more doors are closed to you than open.

    And, if you’re asking yourself how all the other immigrants are doing it, I can guess that they’re possibly being exploited with by pay that won’t be a living wage and/or have a desperate situation back home.

    Interestingly, I’ve seen a few people warn that, when poop finally hits the fan because of ww3, you don’t necessarily want to be the othered, new family on the block.

    Take my words with a grain of salt, but reality might be much different than people think when it comes to jumping ship.
