   Skilled worker visas are always seem to require a degree or many years of evident work experience. Doesn't really leave many opportunities for talented self-taught people who hate sitting in a class room or auditorium.

      If I ever wanted to work abroad, I'd basically be limited to Europe due to the difficulty of getting a skilled worker visa without a degree. The only foreign language I speak is English, but the UK is leaving the EU, so I can't go there. If I want to go to an anglophone country, that leaves me with the Republic of Ireland, which doesn't exactly strike me as the tech hub of Europe. Its main attraction seems to be low corporate taxes.
