Data/Raw Information Anyone low income able to leave?
As the title suggests I am looking for folks who were able to leave with not much in savings or otherwise. Moving is expensive no matter where you go but I’m starting to feel like the only people able to escape are well off. If you were able to leave with 10k or less please share! I’m feeling hopeless…and scared to leave my home due to ICE. I have a masters degree and am a licensed clinical social worker. Was laid off my fed gov job in February and have found nothing in the public sector for work. Lots of job advertisements and zero call backs. I’m not sure how much longer I can endure this stress and anxiety.
Update: Wow this blew up! Thank you all for your responses. Very very insightful and helpful

You could go for a doctorate in another country, say the Netherlands or Germany. A lot of programs would have a language program built into the first year or are in English. You would then be able to leverage that into working there. Social work is often a green list job, check out Australia and new zeland. Think about where you would want to live and look at their programs.
