<p>Let's say that you've got your MA or JD and it's time to find a career. Can you look anywhere in the world for a job? For example, let's say that Sicko scared you straight, and you want to work in France. How easy is it to start a career in a foreign country?</p>
<p>One obvious limiting factor is your degree: some transfer a lot better than others. Continuing your example, an American JD wouldn't get you very far in the French legal system.</p>
<p>What about with a general grad school degree like a Masters? Or an MBA?</p>
<p>You can, because my friend Marie is going to work in France when she graduates. She is getting a degree in French though. If you know another language, that will probably help you unless you're looking at England, Australia, or Canada. I want to do research in Africa or South Asia with my anthropology degree, but that will be through an American source probably (whoever is giving me the money to do the research!).</p>
<p>I think the answer to this really varies from country to country. Like quaere said, it depends on how the degree transfers.</p>
<p>Herein lies the irony: If you get a master's degree and are smart/qualified enough to easily go work in another country, you're probably going to have a reputable private carrier, and not be like the people in Sicko getting screwed over.</p>
<p>In a lot of countries your qualifications might not transfer. If you have an MD or JD the country in question might not accept your degree or have different requirements for working there. It would be easier with an MBA because that is a more well-known and recognized degree internationally.</p>
<p>....Sicko?</p>
<p>Michael Moore's latest movie. Without getting into a political discussion it's about the American Healthcare System.</p>
<p>lol vyse....how does that have anything to do with what you all were talking about?</p>
<p>because the OP mentioned it.
</p>
<p>Well, if you have a bachalors *it can be in any field you can sign up for JET * a program where you teach english in Japan. It's a good program, but overall it's pretty hard unless you minor in chinese and go Harvard .China loves harvard people!</p>
<p>^That post made very little sense.</p>
<p>dude You know Sicko is just Michael Moore propeganda. He just looks at the problems in our healthcare system, not the ammount of money it would cost to fix them, and what socialized medicine could do to our countries economy.</p>
<p>Money doesnt go on trees, Michael Moore. I'd love to have every person in this country be fully covered, but the cost of doing so would destroy our economy(much like the french economy is destroyed).</p>
<p>People like Michael Moore is what is wrong with healthcare in the first place and why it is so expensive for everyone else.</p>
<p>that isn't the point of this thread though!</p>
<p>Yes you can work any where in the world provided you have the proper documents stating you are eligible to work in that country and you can speak the language.</p>
<p>Documentary film makers are the reason that healthcare is bad?</p>
<p>In many countries in Europe it can be difficult to get a green card (or there equivalent). And of course, many specialties won't transfer well. Your best bet is to work with an international company and then transfer to an overseas position.</p>
<p>Immigrating to Europe is a royal pain and it's getting worse everyday. I saw comparisons of salary's between the US and England, and the English are getting screwed over. They are suffering from brain drain because many come to the US for significantly higher salaries, and they already know the language/culture. But hey, if you want, go for it. I can't say that I haven't thought of it. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.</p>
