Probably Norway, Finland, or Sweden. At the risk of potentially offending all Scandinavians, in terms of the things I personally care about, all three countries can be considered as essentially the same. They all check pretty much all of my boxes. They all have ideal (meaning Arctic or subarctic) weather, they’re in a particularly beautiful part of the world, politically and socially they generally align well with my values, hiking and other outdoor activities are readily available, and while it’s not the primary language, English is broadly spoken to a high degree of fluency in all three countries. Meaning I wouldn’t have to struggle to communicate while trying to learn the local language.
In terms of a degree, I don’t currently have one, but I generally enjoy the field I currently work in, so I’d probably go for either a general computer science degree or something more focused on system administration. Possibly with a minor involving some electrical engineering courses.
