So you've just graduated from college, and you're convinced it's time to try the adventure of a lifetime. Have you considered working abroad?
Working abroad after college can be an incredibly rewarding experience if you do the right research and find the right program for you. The college from which you graduated should be able to provide you with an array of resources. Try your college library and contact your career counseling center at your college.
Remember that many, if not most, countries have laws on how can or cannot work in their countries from abroad. While you might be tempted to work abroad illegally after college, this is not a good idea. You might think you can get away with it, but if nothing else your conscience will remember your actions. In addition, you might end up with a criminal record. Foreign countries have just as much right as your own country to implement their laws.
An excellent resource for working abroad after college is a program called CIEE. This organization is dedicated to helping recent graduates work abroad. The organization has plenty of information and staff dedicated to helping you to find the right country to work in. The program sets up opportunities with other countries to allow you to work there for a certain period of time. There is a fee, but it is a reasonable fee and an unblievable opportunity. CIEE will often help you find the right resources once you are abroad, too.
You can look up CIEE on the Internet to get their phone number and to visit their website. This is perhaps one of the better known opportunties for such work abroad programs.
You might also consider organizations such as the Peace Corps, the Army, the Navy, and so on. Sometimes your local bookstore or library will have a book on how to live and work abroad. You can also visit Amazon.com to find such a resource.
Before you make your final decision on where to go and what to do, do some serious soul searching. What do you want to get out of this experience? Do you want to learn a foreign language, meet new people, learn a foreign trade, or simply have a relaxing, fun time after your recent graduation? Once you have examined your motives, begin your search for the right resources and get ready to find the right experience for you.
Working abroad can be a life-changing experience, and it is worth taking the time and energy to do the research that will enable you to find the great adventure for you! Enjoy the process, and enjoy your journey!
