Global Opportunities: Careers in other countries

Psychologist in Japan:

Many of the best jobs for Americans abroad are offered through the federal government. For example, the U.S. Air Force is currently looking to hire a psychologist at their base in Japan. The job pays between $52,000 and $106,000 depending on experience.

Travel Writer:

According to Hubbs, the editor of TransitionsAbroad, one of the common jobs that people pursue abroad is to work for a travel publication or start up their own, perhaps while working another position simultaneously. These positions are typically freelance and the pay varies from publication to publication.

Au Pair:

An au pair is a nanny who gets the benefit of living and working with a family abroad. The job may not be ideal for those looking to boost their career skills, but if you want to make some extra money and have the opportunity to explore countries abroad, then this could be your dream ticket.

Teaching Jobs in Korea:

Several organizations offer teaching jobs including Council on International Educational Exchange and the U.S. State Department. We found a posting to teach English in Korea, which pays between $1,600 and $2,700 a month. You must have a four-year college degree and speak English.

Reflection:

I would like to work outside of the U.S because working abroad is an opportunity for a great career. Many jobs are good outside of the U.S and I want a chance to explore them.
