Won’t most countries require you to have a degree in order to immigrate there? I generally agree with what you said otherwise, but as a tech worker with lots of experience and no degree, I think it’s limited my options for leaving the US, while otherwise being a good move overall.

I suppose the law degrees could potentially cover this situation, however. Haven’t considered that the degree may not need to be in the field you pursue. It may depend on the country.

In that case, you would likely need a bachelor degree anyway, and I would suggest getting a degree in "backup" career that have a solid forecast for wages and employ-ability, the programming industry are getting flooded now that everyone is trying to get good money in IT.
