Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED.

Don't even need a college degree.

Australia, Spain, UK, Portugal (they may even still be doing that super cheap buying a property thing for foreign workers they're trying to attract in smaller towns), Finland... I assume the other countries around Finland...

Many of these places they are more concerned about filling industries regardless of your qualifications. Education and hospitality are lways in demand. I have four American friends that went to Australia and NZ for short-term visas and just decided to never leave and are PR now. No degrees, though two were former US servicemen which may have boosted their credits.

The only catch for pursuing PR is you either have to have an employer happy to sponsor you, or you are told which cities and industries need you the most. After some time for the government to know you're not fucking them around, welcome to your new home.

Teaching English is a classic too. Especially in SK and Japan. You don't need to know the language well as English is expected to be the natively spoken language in classrooms. Have a friend that never left China doing that and two that never left Japan. No degrees; only basics of the national languages. They obviously have become fluently bilingual over time.
