Where do we get all the money to just 'move to another country' with? Are we supposed to just leave all of our friends and family behind? How do we get a successful job in a new country with no connections or understanding of the culture? What if we don't know any languages other than English? That kinda limits one to Canada, UK, etc. Also, a lot countries actually DO have strict immigration policies and don't just let anybody in.
