Depending where you live in the US, cost of living fluctuates. As a rule of thumb, $1,000 USD per month should be enough.
Well, I think it might take more than $1000 if you're moving to England instead of USA. It also depends where OP is moving , what kind of apartment he wants to rent, how much will he spend for expenditure, etc. It might take at least 2000 USD for OP in my opinion.
It takes much more than such a small amount to live in the U.S/U.K if you plan to lead an average life too. Homes are costly, you should try for hostels. You could seek help from any friends or relatives in the country otherwise. I would advise you to get a job before shifting, try studying hard and getting quality resume
At the same time just as a point with studying... these mainstream style qualifications are going to become less and less relevant as time goes by. I would choose very carefully if starting out on study again, you dont want to end up with a ton of debt and a useless degree.
I am not talking about degree, but talking about the education and the quality of knowledge received. Learning more and more will still be easy in his own country but things might get a little tough as he steps into a new country. He'd rather feel more stranded. And instead of having a useless degree, I would recommend you to study something you're passionate about and master in that.
The reason why pursuing education would help you is because you will be open to work at much more different kind of jobs because you will be having about so many things you learn. If you like graphic designing, you can study from internet about how to do it, learn drawing and painting and experience similar fields to your interest. it will help you have more options for job.
