Internships Abroad
An internship is the best way to find out if you're interested in following a career path, so instead of taking the first foreign job that comes along, why not opt for a taster series of internships? Despite having little more than your expenses paid for you (if you're lucky...), you will make fantastic international contacts, improve your language skills, potentially discover your dream career and get your foot on the first rung of the career ladder! Much more fun (and efficient!) than interning after graduation!
