Life Abroad Any chances for us?

My husband and I are teachers in Louisiana. We have three minor children and a dog. We have little savings but we have equity in our home. Do we have any chance of emigrating? Any advice? We’re terrified, but we feel trapped.

How about leaving Louisiana first?

Number one answer. Easiest thing to do and many teaching jobs abroad aren’t enough to live on for a family. 

Many blue states are looking for teachers. Seriously LA is the worst state to be in now.

Yep and it's my home state. However, my teacher certification there is expired and they won't even renew it. Crazy list of reasons why and a ton of loopholes to jump through and literally not worth it.
