    If there’s any smart university women wanting to leave, my city apparently has a decent university. Wink wink.

    Åbo University

    Anybody who offers asylum to transgender Americans will find their computer security capabilities increasing drastically.

    The article does a poor job explaining why people smart enough to want to leave Trump’s America world contribute to a “brain drain”.

    The dumb Americans are currently more proud and happy than they’ve ever been, and they will not be attempting to migrate to Europe.

    Financial experts are seeing a spike in affluent working Americans looking to resettle in Europe.
    Arielle Tucker is the founder of Connected Financial Planning, a company that helps Americans relocate to Europe.
    Tucker received more than 30 new American clients in the week after Trump’s reelection, a level of interest that’s been sustained throughout the last few months.
    Many of Tucker’s clients are in their mid-30s or early 40s and work in executive roles in tech, pharmaceuticals or finance.

    Yet again, the average working-class person is left behind to suffer the worst effects of the policies that these people largely voted for and now cowardly run from.

      I don’t think all or even most of the affluent 30-40 year olds with executive roles in tech, pharmaceuticals or finance voted for Trump. The ones that did vote Trump are quite likely still fond of him.

    Europe barely has sufficient capacity to engage its own educated labor, you think importing America’s surplus is a good idea?

    I hope everybody that can leave will leave. Sadly, I am stuck here because my dumb ass just retired and even if I was not retired I doubt any country in Europe would want a dude with a Masters in English and MFA in creative writing. I guess I will just sit up here in WNC and watch it all burn. At least I have everything paid for. Good luck, everyone, as the markets open to a dumpster fire today.

      You’re retired?

      Better do that thing where old people retire in Europe what I keep hearing so often about!

      If you’re done with seeing everything burn you could consider moving to a place in the US where less stuff is on fire. Also, the flames might inspire you to do some real good writing, who knows.

      sometimes all you can do is hang in there

      Masters in English is great in countries that don’t speak it as their first language. Most people with it got a job right after graduating, some even earlier.

      Don’t be too sure! We’ll need to build a lot of digital services if we want to end our reliance on US big tech, and digital services need a lot of copywriting…

        If you can read/write English natively, you can be useful in catching awkward turns of phrase that a French/German/Dutch/etc. speaker fluent in English might still miss.

          Unlikely to get you a job. Most countries either have a lot of people fluent in English who are better than native speakers or will expect you to know their local language to work there.

    The driving motivation to leave the US seems to be that (these individuals) they’re getting older and astronomical healthcare costs in the US are going to be protected by the system and elite.

    There may be lower tax rates in the US per se but the US healthcare scam is an off-the-books tax, that isn’t coming down.
