Ask yourself, do you really want to talk to pair of really nice gaudy shoes?


 What are the odds of moving to Australia?

I'm don't have a degree but I've been in my field for over a decade and done well.

Are you stunningly wealthy?
Do you hold an incredibly rare and valuable technical certification?

If you answered no to both questions, the odds aren't good.

Depends on the degree of wealth and technical skill.

I have a friend who did it by marrying an Australian. He moved there I think 7 or 8 years ago and just got his full citizenship the other day.

The same may be easily done in United States.

Anything you'd be running from here is already a problem in the world at large, i.e. anti-globalist and nationalist trends. What little world travel I did, despite going through the effort to learn the language and culture of where I traveled to first, did not impress on me the stability of other regions and governments. Its also easy to underestimate the degree to which our familial and friendly support networks cushion and assist us.

Things aren't bad enough here for me to want to take that gamble. The rule of law isn't perfect here but it is absentee in parts of the developing world where a non-independently wealthy expatriate may try and go to stretch what wealth they have, and the developed countries largely don't want our expatriates unless they can pay their way all the way to the grave.

Oh, I totally get there's weird nationalism trend starting worldwide and you can't run from it but moving to another country is a fun day dream.
