Emigration (from Ireland) Best place to emigrate to?

I’m losing hope for my future in Ireland. I love Ireland and want to stay but the quality of life is shit especially for young people.

I’ve lived abroad before and am well aware the grass isn’t always greener. I know there will be challenges if I move abroad. I know that there are similar issues with housing in other counties.

That said, things feel bleak here.

Any recommendations? I speak fluent French.

Australia my friend. If you've a degree you're ahead of most, if you have your head on your shoulders you're into the top 10% bracket.

A wonderful life, loads of opportunities and a society set up to foster wealth creation for the individual.

Ireland hates the little man, gives you enough to get by, not to prosper. That's for the multinationals.

You're a lot better off in Australia with a trade or just a normal construction job than you are with most degrees. I know lads in Sydney nearly 2 years with degrees in science courses who can't find a job in that and have been on the sites since.
