Default Grad School Abroad?

I think I've changed my mind at least three times a day about what to do after graduating, but now I'm thinking about grad school again.

I suppose to be specific I should just toss it out that I'm pretty dead set on living in England for awhile after graduating. Not thinking about the money and all that so much right now, basically it's what I want to do so I'm going to do what I need to do to do it...

Anyway. My parents are both college professors and therefore think getting a masters abroad is a BAAAAAAAD idea because the MA in England is only a one year degree and won't transfer if I decide to get a PhD in the US or teach in the US (because ony of my career goals is to be a univ. prof.)

Anyone have any grad experience abroad? How hard was it to transfer an MA from the UK to a US school and can I get a job anywhere?!????!?!?!?

I'm totally lost right now, I know what I ultimately want to do, but my parents can't help but fill me with the fear of dying poor, alone, and unhappy. HELP!!!
