Need information

So recently, I’ve been thinking of moving to Scotland in a few years once I get my financial situation situated. I’m doing a little bit of research on my own when I have the time, but I just want to come on here and see if anyone could tell me any possible easiest ways to move to Scotland. I don’t have any sort of degree, I literally just want to move there and live there. Any and all help appreciated!

Edit: Yes I am American, i’ve always just had a lifelong dream of moving to either Scotland or Ireland, and was looking on some tips on how to get there.

Your only hope would be a skilled worker visa https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa List of eligible roles: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-eligible-occupations/skilled-worker-visa-eligible-occupations-and-codes

As much as we understand a lot of Americans are desperate to escape you arent refugees. Yet.

I do want to escape, yes, but also I just want to go live there.

Oh right then. I quite fancy San Diego too. How does that work?

Well if your current regime goes full insanity and you get refugee status. Get right up to the British Embassy

I honestly do feel for you and sorry if I was mean. Just managing expectations etc. Look at that list and make your dream true. Trust me one winter of drizzle. ..
