    Which country to migrate to?

    So, me and my wife, both 23 y.o , we want to apply for some universities but we dont know which countries to choose. aside from their education qualities we are looking for somewhere with good living qualities and possible future jobs. we have 36k€ saved up.

    I got a bachelor in french literature, my wife has one in meteorology physics. we both have C1 in english, I have a B2 in french and A2 in germany. Considering that the tricky part is that I want to apply for a master in Music (piano/conducting), do you have any suggestions?

    TL;DR: I wanna change to music from literature bachelor, do you know any countries that would let me? ( I have studied enough/ have had a few classicl performances)

    You wanna change from one useless degree to another? I guess it doesn't matter where you go because you won't find any jobs anywhere..

    According to my observation, German universities are always in need of students. In vacancy listings, I've seen more German universities than French. I have few relatives/friends (one from Iran) living in Germany. They are doing fine and quite happy.

    Although let me state that, my relative is studying Law masters and the other guy - brother of a friend of mine - is studying for his PhD in Electronical Engineering. Their fields are quite well.

    I would personally prefer Germany over France in any case but my field is technical and I have some "strange" metrics of my own.

    Shouldn't you be an expert on immigration when it's one of your highest political priorities, mister Trumplet?

    The US has plenty of people with useless degrees, like those of the "arts"... might fit right in.

    Wasn't long ago that we had like a 50K Iranian students studying in the US. There still are Iranian students attending US schools but I imagine that it's difficult.

    It's a good time to look for work in the US.

    Yep, especially germany won't help you with escaping islamism.
    You either are still stuck with them or you get killed in the fascist outrages that seek to purge them. Tough luck for you.

    Why on Earth would anyone waste their time & money studying French Literature.....?

    I'm not sure that there are any places in dire need of French literature experts or piano players/music conductors so you might want to save more money and buy a property or change your profession.

    Not to be harsh but shouldn't you have thought of this before picking your major?

    Why?

    Honestly, the media has blown things way out of proportion. The college I attend in Northern Virginia has a good mix of people from the Middle East, Asia, India, Europe, Africa - There is absolutely no reason to avoid coming to the United States right now so long as you do it legally.

    While you wont be able to apply for the skilled occupation visa in australia with your current education, if you are really serious about moving to a country as far away from islamic policies as possible, I would still have a look at http://www.visabureau.com/australia/...tion-list.aspx , you could get a carpenter's degree within a year and a half while your wife could for example become a nurse, this would get you going and you could look into additional education in your field after reaching permanent residentship. Carpenters are generally well paid in australia (35-85$/hour) and there is plenty of work.

    - Additionally, I'd go through a working holiday first, Iran has recently signed a working holiday visa agreement with australia, so you can come to australia for a year, if you decide to work on a farm for 88 days you can get another year on top of it. + incase you manage to find a sponsorship you could theoretically stay in the country indefinately even without the skilled occupation program.

    You can come to the United States. One of our graphic designers was born in Iran and came here as a student. He completed his citizenship recently, got married, and is going to school to be a dentist. Graphic design was the way to pay for school, hence the odd...change...in careers.

    He is an awesome guy!

    This part here in the OP:
