Currently I am in Beijing and I am digging it. In fact, I like it so much that I don't really want to stay in the US after I graduate. I dont have much interest in Europe but I am interested in living in Asia.
My father's job requires that he travels all over the world. He has been to every country in the Western Hemisphere, most countries in Europe, and many Asian countries.
I told him of my interest to live in an Asian country and he said the ones that i would want to live in that speak English are Singapore and the Philippines. I researched a little here about Singapore and I'm interested.
I am 20 years old graduating in 2 years with a bachelors in Finance and Banking and a minor in Econ from a Midwest University. Next summer I have a couple big internship opportunities available to choose from. I know English (native), Spanish at an intermediate level, and basic Chinese (I can't read or write it though).
I have a couple of questions:
1) Where do I begin looking for a job in Singapore or the Philipines?
2) How likely is it that Singapore would hire a foreigner with a bachelors degree? Is this realistic or am I dreaming?
Singapore isn't set in stone, but I am most interested in it. It also has fantastic logistics to the rest of SEA. This by itself holds tremendous value.
Learning a new language in order to live in a different country (Ex: Learning Korean to live in SK) is NOT a big deal. I pick languages up fairly easy and have 2 years to really learn it.
I prefer not living in The States after graduation. I have seen many areas of the country that are cool but the average woman isn't my style. I want out.
Anyways, for those that have experience or knowledge about these things, please weigh in.
It's after 2:30am here and I'm peacing out for the night.
