Work Abroad Wednesday

Working abroad after college

Finding Work Abroad that Pays
Most bachelor’s degrees come at a steep price, leaving many graduates with hefty school loans to pay back. If you have financial obligations that make it necessary to find paying work abroad, consider the following suggestions:

Join the Peace Corps. Volunteers are provided with a modest living stipend and receive a transition allowance at the end of their service. They can also defer payment of their school loans and may qualify for a 15 percent cancellation of their outstanding balance for each year of service.

Do freelance work If you have experience where work is often contracted, consider marketing yourself as a freelancer. Extensive research in finding employers will pay off with a flexible schedule that allows for travel.

Plan on Changing Your Plan
Plans sometimes go your way but they can change in the snap of a finger, make sure you have a back up plan.
