International Business...need advice
This was posted in another forum but I'm posting here as well to get more help
Hey
So recently I've been revising my previously adamant attitude that I have to go into consulting and have been considering working in business, but on an international level. I don't know why, but somehow the idea of travel, something I used to hate, has now really sparked my interest. In fact, I think there's a really good chance I might move to Asia when I'm older instead of living in the US. But I digress.
The point is, I have a really keen interest in international business, but need advice on a few things:
-
My main areas of interest in no order are economics, the IT industry, and finance. I'll be upfront and say that money is a pretty big deal to me. I don't want to be middle class (aka when people say, "oh you'll live comfortably"). I want to be fairly rich (at least 6 figures, but ideally 120-150k+). I know, I'm a bit shallow. The thing I'm worried about is that if I pursue this that this goal won't be attainable. So what are the jobs in the international sector that can offer this type of salary. I understand that there will always be competition for these jobs, but if possible, what are ones that aren't incredibly difficult to break into (i.e. I-banking type jobs where very few make it).
-
What would be an ideal major combination: Economics + Language, Economics + CS, or CS + Language. I like the finance/econ sector probably a bit more than high tech, so Econ is probably necessary, but can having CS give me something that Econ won't skills-wise? Also I think I also want to learn another language (such as japanese or mandarin) to help me. But what would be best for me to major in to get a good job on the international level? Also, can one still enter the high tech industry with an econ major?
thanks...and sorry for the long post.
I'm doing Managerial Economics with Spanish, and some extra math classes. I'm in the process of interviewing with Banco Itau right now. If I get it I'll be in Brazil for 6 months, as an intern. I personally want to end up in portfolio management.
