In all sincerity, how do you get out and find work and should you? I’m 40F and have barely left this country. I don’t know how to make a better life for me and my children and I’m not even sure that this isn’t still the ‘safest place’ as the saying has always been. Are all governments corrupt? Are they all at risk of war? Are rich people and corporations given legal passes and tax breaks everywhere? Is there gang violence, racism and sexism everywhere? I want to live without fear that my kids could be killed by some idiot with guns, I want our family to live a life free from servitude just to to pay for car+home+health insurance and not worry we could die simply because we couldn’t afford to pay the highest price for medical care in the world, and I want to know the government or a corporation won’t be allowed to harm people and places with toxic chemicals or skipping safety measures. I want to be more than fuel for capitalism. This is a serious question. I’ve intentionally left my home country out but I’m sure you have guessed.
If you fear violent crime, the gulf region is very safe. I moved to my current country when I was 41. By many metrics is far worse than my home country, but I earn a lot more and have way more holiday and time to spend.
Moving isn’t easy, many things to consider. You are leaving behind your social and professional networks, family, et al.
Moving for a job at least guarantees a visa if needed. I would not recommend moving without a job, ever.
Are you looking for somewhere to settle forever, or just to pursue a career and life abroad? Depending on your area of work, there are plenty of temporary opportunities globally if you look. It can take time when you have no experience from a country to land a job there unless you have very niche skills.
