I'm in high school in the US, and my goal in life is to live on a small farm of my own in Scotland (I know, It's a bit early in my life to plan it all out, but I've wanted this since I was little, and I love planning things). My plan is to go to University in Scotland, and become a history teacher. Eventually I will reach my goal, and teach history to children in secondary school.
My question: Would it be easier if I immigrated starting with a Student Visa and working my way up to a citizenship, or would that be a wast of time? Should I go streaght ahead, and apply for Scottish citizenship without waiting four years?
