For context, I am 20F ~1year away from graduating with two Bachelor's in International Studies and Communications. I am looking to get out of the US permanently, but most resources I have reviewed have said that the best way to do that is with a work visa, and some said that varying companies may be more willing to sponsor that if I have work experience there already/coming from a closer university.

I feel like coming from the US they are simply looking to suck the students absolutely dry via tuition loans, and extra years etc., and as I am preparing to graduate and enter into the world at large I fear I have a very US-oriented tunnel vision on my education and future.

TL;DR- Is it worth going to obtain a Master's degree in order to be more appealing to future international employers? And if so, where to go??? I would love to hear about any and all universities from the point of view from someone not necessarily from the US. I feel like a lot of our media has been really skewed lately and I really am looking for some first hand advice and not some paid blog. TIA!!!

Hi, not sure if this is the right place for this- if not please redirect- but I need some advice, big time.

I graduate from a smallish liberal arts college in the South in about a year. I am double majoring, one of which is International Studies, but once I graduate I plan to immediately leave the US. I have been having such difficulty getting a straight answer for someone on the most cost-effective and safest way to move. It feels like no one wants me to actually leave the US.

I speak a good bit of Spanish, and I have Scandinavian heritage. I know it's important to plan in advance, which is why I'm beginning to formulate it a year in advance. But it's proving to be difficult to plan ahead of time because of things like reliable employment abroad, as well as housing.

I have never been outside of the States, unless counting Canada lol. As embarrassing as it is to be an International Studies major and never have been abroad, I have to get out of the US for all the reasons. But I know that other countries don't necessarily want another American coming into town.

I just want to get some thoughts and advice from a more experienced community than I.

TL;DR- What is the best thing for a new college graduate from the US to do to get out of the US permanently? (Working visa, digital nomad visa, etc.) Which countries are best in quality of life (happiness, affordability, public transportation, etc.) Where would be a good realistic bet on employment opportunities (I want to work in international government)?

I have time before I graduate to visit such places on volunteer trips or travel abroad, so the more options + details the better! Again sorry if this is badly worded, can you tell I don't really know what I'm talking about lol. TIA!!

Hi all, wondering about paddleboarding around/near Boston Harbor just outside Oly and possibly Hope Island as well. Fairly experienced SUP so i feel like it's feasible for me but if anyone has any tips that would be much appreciated!

Hi all, I know that Carbon River is out and there's no access to Mowich Lake via vehicle, but it would still be possible to hike out there. Would it be feasible to hike the wonderland trail to get out there, and if so, how long would it take and where would the best trailhead for closest access be? I tried to find some maps but thought I'd ask here too. TIA!

Long-time avid re-watcher of Psych; was restarting all the episodes as I packed up to move and during my rewatch of the Yang trilogy, I felt like all the clues towards Yin being Mary Lightly were so well placed. But then when Yin turns out to be Just Some Guy that we've literally never seen before...??? Idk. It would've been nice for Yin to have been someone close to the team; I've even seen some theories of it being Buzz but idk. Thoughts?
