Why would you ever want to live, especially to those two countries?

You will hate it after a while. Going there for a trip is not the same as living....

The reasons stated on pages 2 and 3, the quality of life is exceedingly higher than the USA as well.

Edit -- and having lived in Italy three years and enjoyed it more, I would think that I would have sufficient knowledge of both.

I know several that emigrated to Austria and married Austrian spouses... none would want to leave permanently.

I think of far worse places to live and the pace of life for many is great.

Like I said in the other forum: If you want to work as a psychologist and are serious about your plans of moving to Europe then go for your degrees there. I doubt that you'll get a license with an American degree. A bachelors in psychology is especially worthless because no psychologist in Europe has a bachelors nor do they go to professional schools to receive a doctorate like they do in the States.

Also, you said you speak Danish. How well do you speak it? You should be very fluent in the language of your respective destination. That does not mean to only be able to order a Big Mac at McDonald's.

I think your best options are either: Going to university in Denmark/Austria and then trying to find a job. Or go to school in the US, then try to find a job at a big company and hope to be transferred to Europe.

FfF, you said your parents were not born in the US therefore you must be a dual citizen of the US and some other country (or you could be). So, if it's not a big secret, which is it? - it can make a difference as to what immigration options are open to you.

Aha, so get yourself a Canadian passport (in addition to your US passport, not instead of). That would allow you to get a working holiday visa to the UK (if you are aged 18-30) and there is also the possibility of an ancestry visa. Neither of those options are available to US citizens.

Whoa. I wasn't aware Canada had more options. Thanks Bronto!

You also have options for NZ and Australian visas through Canada, although the UK is closer to your end goal.
