I have a question for the people that were able to go abroad after finishing their degree

Help / Question

Hi guys, I hope you're all safe from this war.

I'm a second year engineering student in lebanon, and honestly I'm just so lost. How will I ever be able to build my life in this unstable country? I just think it will never happen, and no matter what, we will always have a useless government and a failed state.

Does any of you have tips on what I should be working on to have higher chances of having a better future abroad? I am in one of the top universities in the country with a scholarship, and I almost have a perfect gpa. But ofc I know that this doesn't mean everything I want will happen only thanks to my gpa. Do you think that I should try and secure an internship abroad in my third year? What about having a semester abroad in another university, does this actually help in a way, or is it useless? (my university always try to convince us for these exchange programs, but idk much about the details).

I have been thinking about making this post for the past week, and I hope if someone can give me some tips, especially if he went through this.

Thank you guys.
