The conclusion that I'll draw is that I likely don't want to be stuck in the US for a good few years. Invest in the US, sure, but unless something changes radically between me and someone else (may happen, we'll see when I'm back in NYC a week from now), there's nothing for me in that country. Zero.
And all the "other fish in the sea" yammering won't serve to change my opinion, so don't bother trying.

I agree with you that once you travel outside the borders of the U.S...it opens up your peripheral vision-especially in terms of all this 'war' on terror that the U.S. government and corporate media has hyped it to be-in order to sell the fear ticket..and therefore justify spending billions $of tax-payer cash on unessacary projects that do nothing more than build up their military apparatus.
In order to live abroad there are many things to consider..such as..'What is the primary language'?..My sister just moved to France..And thats what they speak...French.
How tight is your resume?...it better be impressive to live/work over-seas.
Can you adjust to the coulture?
Whatever you decide..I hope it works out for you.
