Is there any sort of license that a U.S. Pharmacy Graduate can get so that they can work in any country they want to work in, at anytime?

So let's say I graduate and licensed in New York. Can I one day just pack my bags, head over to Germany and get a job there?

NO. If you get licensed in New York, you cannot even cross the Hudson and work in New Jersey, let alone overseas. 🙄

I suppose there are some third world countries that will recognize US licenses and not make you do anything else, but every civilized country has laws that are very different from each other, and until you pass their boards (and you may not even be eligible, after graduating from a US school, until you do more schooling in that country) you will not be able to work there, unless you job requires no license. Not to mention unemployment is much higher in most European countries than it is in US and in EU you will not even be a first-tier candidate even if you get licensed in that country because you are not a EU citizen.
