If Bush wins I will be looking for a job overseas! Any suggestions?

[seventhson]

I need healthcare for my family and stability in a place that is environmentally safer and psychologically freer.

I am an attorney and a writer who has adminstered grants for nonprofits and wortked on human rights issues.

I also have a background in recent years studying and writing about Holocaust issues and have done some lecturing and teaching.

Help!!!

1. You might want to go here:

http://www.tribe.net

and register. Its a good place for networking and they have a couple of groups that deal with working overseas. You can just do a search there and find those groups. Hope this helps.

2. I'm thinking Cuba

Any place that close to the US which has managed to defeat all efforts at restoring a Bastista like regime can't be all bad.

6. It seems some times, unfortunately, that Castro's regime is Batista like

Maybe nothing is worse than the Bush Evil Empire of former Nazis in Latin America.

But having a revolutionary who kinda sold his soul to the Stalinists (and the Stalinists having been BFEE/Rockefeller/Morgan puppets too) does not give me LOTS of confidence.

But I have considered it.

Believe me.

I and my family have healthcare needs.

Being in a socialist country where our health and sociocultural needs were met would be pretty different. It might even be special.

3. Go the way repukes do

dual citizenship. That way, if things get back to normal, you haven't lost anything.

Try Austria. I hear that there are a few "dual citizens" from there. At least one, I think.

13. dual citizenship in austria

no, austria has (1) wicked immigration laws and (2) a requirement that you give up your citizenship in order to get theirs, plus (3) if you're young enough they put you into compulsory military service once you get citizenship. besides, you're up on the holocaust, what on earth do you want to sit next to the old-fart nazis in the streetcar for????

to be fair, if you overcome these hurdles, it's a great place. safe.
great to raise kids, provided you don't get one of the old farts for a teacher.

4. I think you've got a lot of options

How about going to Belgium? I love Belgium and there are a number of prospective employers. Lots of international organizations and the like, which sounds like something that could be for you given your background. And to top it off, they have the best beer I've ever had. :beer:

5. I have been there and it is a very interesting place

Didn't they have an international war crimes law too?

Maybe I could prosecute the BFEE! (Although I am a defense attorney by natrure since the "justice system" (aka the "just us" system") sucks entirely.

10. You've got lots of potential employers there

The war crimes tribunal is in the Hague, but they probably have something dealing with that in Brussels too.

7. exile

Why does this happen every four years? "If Reagan, Bush, Dubya is elected, I will go into exile..."

Ask this question AFTER the election, first try to win...
Bleeping defeatist...

"16 years in Japan...and hating it..."

8. Non profits / HR laywers are always in demand

Try a couple of these organisations with good reputation.

http://www.rb.se/eng/ (save the children)

http://www.humanrights.se/svenska/sv-lankar2.htm (bunch of links)

etc. etc.

You are most welcome to Stockholm - but could probably do more good where you are!

9. New Zealand

My wife and I moved to New Zealand in January. What a great, safe, progressive country. My wife is a nurse. As they say 'Come on down!' It is a beautiful country---hope you like the color of green!!!

11. Asia? No.

I'm a teacher in Thailand, and can tell you now it's not the place you're looking for- though you could probably get work here. Japan- not much opportunity in your field, I think. That pretty much rules out Asia. Good luck.

15. there's also Taiwan...

always a possibility

12. stay home, the country needs you!

hey, i see your point, but everywhere else you go you'll find crappy governments as well and people that want to emigrate to the us (well not as many as before but still, alot).

and besides, i say: just stay home and get to work!! the country needs human rights activists now more than ever.

14. You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,

and I understand seventhson on this. I don't want to stay in the US if they steal another election.

Come to think of it, If they actually win, I'll probably want to stay even less. It's frightening that he has so much support. I've recently realized just how seriously deluded some of his supporters are, and how much they hate us.

The U.S. is a country undergoing a serious identity crisis and I'm not at all confident that the forces for good will win. :cry:

16. Especially if it becomes a Christian Theocracy.

The government is one thing, but to live amongst people who support this government is another. I just can't believe what shallow, stupid, hateful people comprise "mainstream" America.
