  • I also just don’t belong here, I was raised to only speak English, and I didn’t follow any culture or traditional values here.

    First and foremost, get started on learning the local language and how to mesh into the local culture. Not with the intent to stay in Cambodia forever, but because it’s an essential skill to have if you plan to migrate anywhere - learning to assimilate is key to succeeding in many societies. If you bring your current mind set with you to a new country, you’re not gonna fit in either.

    Second, sit down and find out what type of a career you want. Once you’ve got something figured out, check if it’s financially realistic and if it’s possible to migrate with that career. If it’s not, then pick another career choice and reassess. Computer science, engineering and medical are common suggestions for migration-friendly career choices…

    Third, find out where you can get your future degree. This will depend large on what finances you have available. Some countries have no tuition but high cost of living (like Germany), others might have tuition and low cost of living (like Afghanistan). Your budget will determine your options. Canada and the US are expensive options.

    Fourth, once you’ve decided on a realistic career and country, start learning the language of your target destination, unless you plan on going to an anglophone country. Start saving up money for the move.

    I currently live in a country with universal healthcare. Doctors reached the cap for how much they’re allowed to earn in 2023 several weeks ago, so all appointments are scheduled for 2024.
