Black Americans Living Abroad Volume 1 Issue 2 | Page 6

Dear BALA,

I want to make the move abroad, but my husband is totally against the idea. I've wanted to move for years, but he keeps getting in my way, what should I do?

Rosie,

Why do you want to move abroad? Are you running to or running from? What we mean is that if you are pursuing a dream that will benefit you, then it is a decision that should include your life partner. However, if you are running from something, specifically your marriage, then you need to address that issue before you move abroad.

Dear BALA,

Can I get a job overseas if I don't have a degree? It seems as if everyone who is abroad has a degree in something, but I want the chance to live abroad too!

Nate,

All of us are born with some gift or talent that can be applied to a global context. However, it would be irresponsible of us to suggest that it is easy to find a job overseas without a degree. Do your research. We have many digital nomads, entrepreneurs, etc. Find what you can do and where.
