I just want to escape this country as soon as possible. Currently I am in a low-average job in civil service, dead-end career (a career that hasn't even begun as career where?), due to just me not fitting in to the system. I tried forcing myself to fit in but I don't think that is even possible without me going insane. Maldives is only Male' city and the resorts. The rest of the country is as good as sand banks. No facilities, No education, No health, No good jobs, Nothing at all. I also don't want to talk about living in Male' as a rent slave.
[The type of slavery in the title is about human trafficking - rent slavery is allowed as long as facilities are there]
So where can I start?

If you can't bypass the current system in maldives, I think it will be so much harder for you to survive on a 2nd world or 1st world country. With proper qualifications, you may have a chance but you will suffer.

White skinned countries are gonna be a hard hit for you based on your expectations here. You'll be treated poorely. That is something I have noticed when I travel. We Maldivians are categorized as Indians and treated horribly in other countries. The best option I see is Malaysia or sone south Afrcan countries.

Best way I think it's to get a student loan and go to SE Asia and east Asia is cheap to live, before you finish studies find a way to stay there, (marry someone, job)

Easier way could be go to an international brand resort. Work for 1 year get some connections. And find the opportunity to work abroad. There are many Maldivians working in UAE , Thailand, Australia as well.
