What would you do?

FILSON

If you can't work abroad because you don't have a work visa, and you just finished architecture and currently studying masters. 

If your goal is to live and study abroad.

  • would you apply for another master abroad, than try to find a job within 3 months (if you didn't find a job you'll be forced to return to your hometown)
  • would study a PHD abroad that will guarantee you staying in the country (but you'll end up with no work experience) and After your PHD you'll apply to work Abroad
  • would you quite your current master (if one to two years still remains) and apply to a master abroad

I'd question what the end is if working abroad is the means.

I'd prostrate myself on the internet seeking anonymous advice.

I’d stop asking random internet people to make adult decisions for you. Second, I’d realize that more education is probably not the answer.  Then I’d revise my goals to something realistic, like getting that first job and building experience. Fourth, I’d hit the pub for a beer.

Hey Filson, where exactly is abroad? Advise may vary depending on where you wish to go. 

You don't need a work Visa for most countries if you are a student and are applying for an internship.

Filson, where are you from? as Sami says, the advice and process may vary depending on where you are and where you intend to go.

Why don't you simply get a work visa? That's what I did when I wanted to work abroad.

How do you do so? you mean before applying for jobs?

This depends on what country you are a citizen of and what country you are trying to work in. Often, you will require a sponsor from the firm you will ultimately work for in your visa application. This is completely normal. As an American, I did this in England once and Germany twice. My current office in America has plenty of people on work sponsored visas. If you want to work abroad, just go do it. Millions of people around the world do this every year.

If your goal is to live and study abroad, go live and study abroad.
