Financial experts are seeing a spike in affluent working Americans looking to resettle in Europe. They say it's time for Europe to prepare for their arrival.
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.
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.
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.

You’re retired?
Better do that thing where old people retire in Europe what I keep hearing so often about!
