      Just “speaking English” typically won’t get you a job unless you have a degree to back it up.

        It’s enough to get you in the door in some countries if you’re willing to teach English. But it won’t get you permanent residence without a lot more work.

        Also most countries where that’s possible (East Asia) aren’t much of an improvement over the US if you’re running from rampant capitalism and social conservatism.
