Technology, International, French language, where does it all fit together?
I have only ever worked in the IT field since I was in High school. I am getting an international degree with a focus in MIS Global IT leadership and Management. I learned intermediate level French in France and Canada. I can finish my degree in December; or I can postpone it a semester and go back to France to learn more French. I am still feeling lost on where I can go from here. the world is in a chaotic state right now and I could just spend the next few years abroad doing my own thing; learning a new language. or I could take advantage and try to set myself up for the future. but I'm not sure where I want to work, or what specifically I want to do. I want to do something abroad; I love interacting with new people, new cultures, and learning new things. Are there any industries/countries that are starting to surface that you're seeing; that would be worth taking a look into? #technology #international #foreign-Languages #business #grad #postgrad #help #thinkTank #abroad

What's the most financially smart way to move out of town after graduation?
I'll be finishing my undergrad in about a year and have always had a passion for travel, immersing myself in different cultures, new people, and foreign places. I have had this goal to move out of my college town after I finish my degree as a challenge to myself to build new community, meet more people from across the country or world, and get to know myself better. Is this a good idea? I'm very aware of how expensive moving is and I'm worried about finding a job and place to live far from home. Should I wait a year after I graduate until I take the leap? Is this goal setting myself up for financial failure? #postgrad #travel #dream
How much harder is it for a minority to get a job after college graduation?
I understand, in today's society, we are much more open and accepting to race. However, this question comes from experience. When I was in middle school, I was walking home once and was stopped, handcuffed and searched by a police officer because I looked "suspicious." That wasn't even my first encounter where a police officer harassed me because he/she thought I looked suspicious. So, I ask this specific question because, being Mexican-American, I have always faced obstacles trying to prevent me from getting ahead in life. Will I continue to face obstacles upon entering the professional world simply because of my race? #postgrad #obstacles
Where are the best places to look for post grad bursaries?
I live in South Africa and am about to graduate with a Bachelor of Design. I want to study a Masters in Service Design abroad because there are no universities in South Africa that offer this. I am desperate to study further but my family just does not have the means to support me for another year. Where are the best places to find bursaries internationally? What are other funding options available? Any other tips or resources for international study would be welcome!
