Basically, I don’t want to be an engineer in the US, but I have no choice but to go to college in the US due to my situation. What would I need to do to take steps toward working abroad? Preferably in China. I can imagine learning Chinese is a must, but what about citizenship and other things?
EDIT: Also, what other options you want to suggest?
I don’t think American citizens can work (unless it’s volunteer work or tourism) or live in Cuba (unless married to a Cuban person, but they do recognize same-sex marriage). Iirc the US doesn’t let you buy property in Cuba or trade with Cuban companies due to the Embargo. I believe China is much easier, the only major problem is the language barrier.
Presumably the cuba option is predicated on cutting ties with the US, though it’s bad for other reasons unless you can get to Cuba with a significant amount of machinery, fuel, and food
