Post Body

I am a soon to be college graduate currently looking for jobs. The recent situation in the US has pushed me over the edge and I have begun looking for jobs in other countries.

I will be graduating with a B.S. in Bioinformatics which as far as I am aware helps me as it has applications in a number of in-demand fields such as data science/statistics/machine learning and medical fields.

However, I am wondering if it is worth my time to look, as I imagine they generally would prefer someone with more experience. I have a couple of internships but nothing major that would necessarily give me an edge.

I am really fine with going just about anywhere that speaks English, but failing that I am also ok with countries that don't necessarily speak English but may conduct a lot of business in English (Hong Kong, etc.)

It seems like my specialized degree can be both a blessing and a curse, because it is simultaneously considered in-demand, but with few openings.

I also wouldn't be opposed to getting a Masters / Ph.D in said country but I would prefer to get a job immediately. However if that is my only option I may take it.

What would be my best path to a working visa in another country/ what is worth my time to look into? For example, I've heard about Work Holiday Visas but I'm not sure whether they would apply to me. I'm also not sure whether these can be upgraded to permanent resident status eventually, which is an option I would strongly prefer to have.
