For some context, I am bilingual (English, Spanish), Mexican citizen, with a US Bachelor's in Geology.

I live in the US, and quite frankly, I don't think I can live here anymore. I have been lurking on this sub for a while, so I know the best countries for geology in general are the US, Canada, and Australia. I was considering Canada, but several people have deterred me from pursuing that path, as it is getting pricer to live there and harder to gain residency. I have also considered Spain, as I speak Spanish and getting citizenship would be an easier path for me, but there aren't many geologic opportunities there from what I've heard.

What other options should I consider? Or are either of these options good? Any insight is appreciated.

I did an interview in February at a UC school, and was even told I was “high on the list” to receive an offer letter. Technically, i’m accepted, but funding is still being figured out. I hadn’t heard anything since, but I reached out a while ago and was told that the final decisions would be made around late May. I am having some anxiety about it, and I’m wondering if I should be doing more to put myself out there? I had another school in mind, which is why i wasn’t as proactive, but the cost is going to be more than i thought.
