Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>Hi. This is my first post. :)</p>

<p>My dream job is working for places like World Bank, IMF, non-profit organizations, etc. and I'm confused as to how it works.</p>

<p>I'm currently an international undergraduate student at a USN top 20 university majoring in economics and possibly minoring in computer science or math. I'm planning to go to graduate school (Ph.D) for economics, with a concentration in developmental economics. </p>

<p>I'm also multi-lingual.
English & Korean = excellent (native language)
Chinese = very good</p>

<p>So..how does it work? I would appreciate any comments. :)</p>

<ul>
<li>Is it extremely competitive to get these kinds of jobs?</li>
<li>How is the pay? (entry-level, senior-level)</li>
<li>How is the lifestyle? (traveling alot? working many hours?) </li>
<li>What kind of prior work experience would be good?</li>
<li>Any other tips/comments/etc? </li>
</ul>

<p>Thanks for the help. :)</p>

<p>No offense to anyone here, but I don’t think anyone here would know.</p>

<p>I can tell you they are quite competitive to get a job at, and that travel and hours will vary depending on what your actual job entails. Other than that, I don’t have much to offer.</p>
