Wife and I both finding positions in EU?

What is the actual liklihood of both of us landing a position together in an EU country? I know these are highly sought after, but before we start applying to begin next year is it even worth our time? We will not pursue the opportunity if we need to live seperately.

I moved here in late 2020 for College and want to move. My current situation is I have a very good scholarship to go to law school here, problem is that the law school only places jobs in and around Memphis. I was hoping to get into some different schools around the country and did, but I cant finance them (especially with the new loan rules). I have a Political Science BA with a focus on US Government and International relations, and honestly work in that field is slim. I am a decent writer (when I try) but don't know if I am up to snuff to get a job in New York at a major publication (I also don't have a portfolio to apply with). Even if I landed a NY Job, looking at the starting salaries seems grim (for the COL). I have two years of work experience as a Paralegal, but I don't want to do it forever.

If anyone has similar experiences or advice please share, thank you!

For reference my Fiance and I both applied together this past fall and ended up getting into a few schools together, but ultimately could not get enough money to make the schools we wanted to go to worth while. Ultimately we decieded on a local school that sits in the top 150 (University of Memphis). Neither of us are happy with this decision. We have decided we dont want to delay our future careers any further. We both took jobs with the premise we would be leaving in the summer for school in the fall and don't want to overstay our welcome.

My Finace thinks our best course of action is transferring, I believe it is best to reapply despite the challanges that will create for us. She is confident we can both place within the top 5% at this school. Our undergrad has a long history of placing its graduates within the top 5% at UM many being 1st or 2nd in the class. I think there is a good chance of placing well but not 100% - but reapplying also wouldnt grant us a 100% of getting the money needed to make better schools worth it. I do know that transfers almost always pay sticker, but sticker for 2 years is a lower debt load and we would hope to jump the rankings above where our LSATs put us (for reference we are both 16(mid-low), which would make higher tution "more worthwhile."

I would love some advice if you have any thank you!

I am confused by the language on the United website, "The maximum size of a checked bag can be 30 in x 20 in x 12 in (76 cm x 52 cm x 30 cm) or 62 total in., including handles and wheels."

Most specifically the use of "or" I have a bag with a width 2.3 inches over the depth limit, but 4.3 inches under the width limit. The bag measures a total of 59.9 inches; 2.1 under limit but still over in width. Should I be worried about paying additional fees on this bag?
