    Did you just job hunt over there and get a work visa?

    I've got enough tech experience I probably could have. I'm going back to school though out of savings and going to get on a student visa

      Est-ce qu'on distribue les baguettes, les cigarettes et les bérets obligatoires à la frontière française, ou est-ce plutôt une chose parisienne ?

      They're more like a passport. If you don't have them when you arrive, we won't let you in. 😂

        Interesting. How easy is it to stay over there if you go to school? Are the student visas hard to get?

          Take me with you, I'm neither an average fighter nor a brilliant scientist, but you can't live a trans-sister to die in this wasteland of burgers and guns!

              American scientists voted for this. Or they stayed home. Either way they should stay and work to fix their country.

                Since when do scientists make up a majority of the population?

                Are there any statistics on what scientists voted for?

                  Just stop with these non sensical comments. They're exhausting.

                      I have to line up a job before I graduate because I don't qualify for like a "just graduated give me some time to settle" visa, so that may be difficult. I don't really know if the student visa is hard to get. I need to be accepted to school first then I can use that to make my visa application, so the timing is going to be pretty rushed. I'm going to have to set up moving and living, basically be in standstill for a bit waiting to see if I can pull the trigger, then hope the visa clears

                              I'm doing my part fleeing to Sweden, granted I'm a programmer and game dev so not a scientist. I'm done letting the US profit off my skills though

                              Don't forget to get rid of your US citizenship or they'll still profit off your work.

                                You know that a lot of scientists in the US aren't even American. Because the USA used to be the world's best place to do science, that's why a lot of scientists moved there. These people are now moving in the opposite direction.

                                  You don't need asylum if you are a legal resident. Asylum is the most insecure form of permit, especially in Germany, where the society is currently getting more and more hostile to migration, including labeling countries like Afghanistan as "safe countries of origin" and organizing deportations with the Taliban.

                                        The low prospects of jobs for undergrad who don't have enough experience for grad schools also turns people completely away from being a scientists to, unless you have research published or significant experience in lab work prior to graduating you won't get far, it's also harder to get into them health, like

                                          But if you force someone out how is that brain drain? I thought it meant when lower income/quality of life countries "loose" their "smart people" to countries with better living standards. I wouldnt refer to it as brain drain if you do it on purpose. But it seems like i have the wrong definition for the word. Thing is it doesnt really matter, i like that all the smart people from the us are moving to europe, we just have to grab this chance and rise up in industries dominated by fascists like spacex. Btw what is the obsession with space travel among fascist leaders? Sorru if i rambled for a bit too long.
