It hadn't really occurred to me to seriously ask where an American could leave to and become a citizen. I've got a degree in Information Systems and I work I.T., which I would think would be relatively valuable somewhere.

"IT" as in operations, networks, security, support, or? I mean a suitable background in networks and you'd make 130k USD plus pension as a networking consultant in Denmark. IDK about citizenship though. As with all the rest of Europe, we've seen a rise in right wing populism and are now suffering from its resulting inane immigration laws.

But if you're in for the adventure, then you could look outside the list of English speaking countries. There's The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, we all speak English and we all have healthcare... But don't go to Sweden, they suck :-)

I'm gonna stick around for a bit longer and try to clean this shit up. But it's never occurred to me to ask who'd want me if I wasn't staying.

There are a shit ton of companies in my area that are looking for IT people here in Germany, and I think thats the case all over Europe.
