Starting my last week of school as an Undergrad student just
made me nervous and excited. I don’t have a job lined-up and I like to feel
productive all the time, consequently; I have decided to jump into pursuing a
Master degree, a job is still welcome. In my case, I’m graduating with a B.S in
Marketing which I had fun learning from it. Marketing is a very social career,
which makes things interesting since I have met many people from different
backgrounds and some became good friends of mine. This leads me to say
networking is very important in any field specially when you have met people in
the same area of study as you.
I have started, slowly but surely, researching some schools
that fit what I am looking for; therefore, start with their requirements ASAP.
I first decided that my first option should be going abroad specially Europe,
since I have never been yet I have talked to people from there and made me
interested about it. However, let’s have in mind that expenses increase if you
go abroad.
Indeed, another option could be stay in the US and therefore
meet other requirements such as the GMAT. Many people could say the smartest
move would be stay local and pay less but in my opinion is the whole experience
to live in another country that I have never been, speak another language, and
learn from another culture.
In conclusion, one of the schools that I am very interested
in is the IED, Istituto Europeo di Design witch branches located in Italy,
Spain, and Brazil. There, I could see
the opportunity to work on my Marketing Masters and being in touch in Graphic Communications,
which I also like.
Good Luck!!!
I think going abroad is a great way to get more connections and to make a career on an international scale, which always looks good on the resume.
ReplyDeleteEnrolling in a school is a good way to get yourself established abroad because finding a job can be a struggle as a foreigner, but everyone loves students!
Be persistent and the world will be your oyster!
I completely agree with you. Although, I believe experience in your field could work hand to hand with school.
DeleteThanks for the quote; I'm betting on that.
I'm in the same boat Camilo! no job yet, but looking into grad school. I think it's good to learn graphic design and web design on your spare time, since we're both marketing majors. Goodluck on your future endeavors!
