<p>Will studying abroad helps in future finding a job?</p>
<p>It definitely won’t hurt your chances. Learning a new language gives you an edge over the competition and study abroad is a life changing and humbling experience. Employers definitely look for that.</p>
<p>It definitely will. The skills you learn while abroad are invaluable in the workforce.

<p>Study abroad will definitely help – if you really acquire a skill, or something that will translate into a skill later on. I agree with blitzny on the langauge issue. Really, the most important thing about study abroad is language acquisition. If you become a lawyer, or a doctor, or get an MBA, that’s great. But if you are a lawyer, doctor, or MBA that speaks – really speaks and understands – German or French or Chinese or Italian or Spanish, or whatever, then you have an extra skill set which makes you even more marketable/valuable to your future employers.</p>
<p>A lot of scholarships and programs that are being set up via our uncle Sam are directed towards language acquisition…</p>
<p>Obviously also important are cultural sensitivity and the ability to see issues in a more objective way – study abroad helped me immensely in this area. </p>
<p>My personal opinion, for what it’s worth, is that if you’re going to study abroad, whatever you study, you should gain a working knowledge of a foreign language. Since finishing college (and even before) I have been offered several jobs not because of my degree, but because I speak Spanish and German.</p>
