36% plan to move
36% plan to move internationally for school or work? That's total bullshit, there's no way in hell 36% even are trying to work internationally, let alone actually ending up doing so. Study abroad, sure, but not move permanently.

well also includes "want to" - ie foreigners wanting to work in nyc, americans dreaming of living abroad someday but no actual plan to, etc

Oh I don't think it's the post that's wrong or anything, I'm just saying that people are clicking on "international" because it sounds cool/they'd want to visit, when they wouldn't even want to work abroad in a city like London if they could compared to NYC, etc. Obviously there are some who would but 36% is way too high.

The largest metropolitan area in my state has barely over a million people living in it.
I'm more than likely moving out of state.

I've heard there are quite a few lurkers from India/Singapore/etc. on this forum.
