International Career advice

Sup Oasis.

So after much thought and deliberation I've concluded that I really want to leave the US after college. I want to put myself out there and explore what the world has to offer. Perhaps find a job in Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, Japan, or wherever.

I've got one year of undergrad left and I'm at a Non-target studying finance. To be honest I don't really care what I end up doing and I wouldn't at all mind doing something non-financial as long as it has room for growth. I hate coding though so please don't recommend programming even though I know programmers are in high demand over seas.

So my question is this. What kind of international jobs, that a finance major could get, are hot right now? And more importantly, what should I do in this next year to prepare for my international job search?

I would suggest staying the US and gaining a year or two of work experience before considering.

Local language + non recognized school + Visa restrictions + applying straight for graduate positions you've got very little chance.

 

LOL at your name/picture.
