UK for family person
You earn less than your mate in same field in USA like Doctors or IT but you get free education for your kids and UK healthcare is one of the best in the world and it’s free partial.
If anything happens to you, meaning maybe you can’t work work again then you get full disability benefits.

USA for single person

You make more money in USA as USA pays more but you have to paid for everything and when something goes wrong then you are finished grin
If God wan come punish person make he come get 2 baby mamas grin

If you're looking for a simple answer, of course go for the number 1 country with the biggest economy in the world and got the whole world revolving around them and their currency - United States of America


But then the right answer would be you asking yourself and answering several questions. For example how do you plan to get to the US? Is it even possible as of today for the "layman" to just go get residency in the US. The easiest way rn to get residency in the US (if you don't have 1 million dollars to qualify for the investor visa) is through immediate family members who are either citizens or permanent residents. And even being a family member to this US person has various categories, for example, visa applications for spouses, children and parents of the US person are processed under 3 months. But for siblings of a US person, that could as long as 10 years.

Immigrating to the US via the student visa route? Well, you join the long queue. Admission letters and even sufficient funds don't guarantee any visa approval. They deny you so fast you would wonder if you offended them for being a Nigerian. These guys are trying their possible best to reduce the number of Nigerian immigrants and therefore you've got a huge task of trying to convince your interviewer why they should allow you into their country. And each fiscal year, the state department gives the embassy sort of a quota on how many applications to approve or reject. That's why you see news like up to a 92% rejection rate in 2017


Reverse is the case for UK tho, yea they don't own the world, not so big economy, etc, but since their exit from the EU, they've been gradually going the Australian way using international students to boom the country's economy. So yea they've redesigned policies regarding student visas in such a way to attract more students who can afford to pay for education in the UK. They reckoned the education exportation business is quite a great business, Australia is doing very well when you look at how much the country makes each year from international students. And overall it's a win win situation for them, you pay the cumbersome school fees and contribute to their economy, and thereafter they train you to become a highly skilled migrant who would eventually be useful to the same economy in the future. That way every immigrant is a potential economic asset and not a liability

So do your research and see where you fit in and which of them is happy and more likely to have you immigrate to their country, BUT that's after careful consideration of what you'll be going over there to do by the way
