Life After College? Intern Abroad!

Congratulations! You’ve worked super hard overthe last few years and now you’ve graduated with your degree in hand,ready to start the next chapter.The only problem is: you’re not sure what life after college looks like for you.First of all, don’t worry! It’s much more common than what you think.In fact,44% of undergraduatesclaim ‘they don’t know what they want to do after graduation’.

Traditionally, the two most common choices are to go travelling or to start work straight away.There’s no right or wrong answer here but bothoptionshave pros and cons. Travelers traditionally get the ‘horizon broadening’ experience and have a great time but lose ground in the career market to their peers who entered employment straight away. Whilst on the other hand, workers tend to regret missing out on the chanceto explore new cultures, meet new people, and try new things.

It’s a tough one but there is a way to have your cake and eat it too. Interning abroad gives you all the benefits of travelling whilst also boosting your career prospects.It enables you to have an amazing experience without the guilt of postponing your career.
