    I doubt any country in Europe would want a dude with a Masters in English and MFA in creative writing

    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.
