similar to the last post - how can i escape?

hi everyone, i'm not sure if this is the right sub so please lmk if it's not. i'm from a middle-eastern country and i'm looking to move abroad to work. main reasons are to escape my family who are putting pressure on me to marry (i'm a woman so my worth isn't valid unless i'm married apparently lol).

currently studying psychology abroad in the UK (on a scholarship, my background is lower middle-class.), however, i've been struggling to stay on track of things - i've got an solid CV with extracurriculars in diff fields (psychology & humanities & volunteering), my grades aren't the best but they're not bad either, i'm graduating next year. i wasn't really sure if i wanted to continue working/living abroad, but now i'm certain. Any tips from people who were in similar situations? after skimming the sub i've started looking into getting a TEFL before I graduate, i could really use some guidance for anything else, thanks!
