I still go out with them but it's become more of a tradition every week than actually something I want to do, and let's face it, once they move in with their girlfriends they won't go out nearly as much anymore.
So I was thinking what it would be like to just move out of here and get a job abroad, preferably somewhere where they speak english since all my other language skills are shit. And I'd like it to be a country with good weather. I was thinking about the west coast of the US, but I understand that getting a green card is pure luck. And even if I would get one, what are the chances of getting a decent job with the diploma I got in Belgium? I'm 23 years old and have a (professional) Bachelor in Computer Sciences.
Does anybody have any experience with moving/working abroad? How much money would be needed to save before you go? Are there any other things I need to know?
At the moment it's not even something I thought through yet, just an idea that came up in my mind. But it's best to hear if it's possible/not possible at this stage than if I would start spending more and more thoughts about it and turning out to be a pipe dream.

What ever you do when you move, do not sell your house in the uk if you think you may possibly want to come back again. I sold my apartment in the London so i could buy in Houston, Texas. 8 months later i came back to the uk and the houses had got even more expensive and i havent been able to sell my house in america yet. So when you move make sure you dont make it a permanent thing for at least a year. I suggest renting
