My husband and I are thinking about moving abroad for a few years with our 1.5 year old daughter. No political reasons or anything. Just feeling up to a little adventure.
Him: 41, Masters in Counseling Psychology. Currently a mental health therapist in Seattle.
Me: 35, BA in sociology. Experience in non-profit fundraising and currently work in healthcare marketing.
What cities and/or countries would be the best place to look for jobs with our education and skills?
We are both English-only speakers, but willing to learn a new language before we move. Before our daughter was born, we traveled quite a bit in France and Italy but are open to moving anywhere. We are both Americans.
Most countries require that you have a work permit before arriving there. In most English speaking countries as well most EU countries for a non-citizen to get a work permit isn't very easy.
If either you or your husband is Jewish or have at least one Jewish grandparent, you could consider moving to Israel.
If you fancy the UK, you might be able to get a tier 1 work permit (formerly known as HSMP - highly skilled migrant's programme) with a master's degree. Or, check out the shortage list under 'related documents' on the linked page for a tier 2 (sponsored) permit. Only one of you would need to get a work permit - the other could then get a dependant's permit which would also allow you to work.
