My fantasy is some job that I can relocate (yes, relocate not flying everywhere multiple times every month) every few years and I can bring my wife with me along the job if she's unemployed or something.
Do you have a degree? What skills do you have? A company needs a reason to send you overseas and the people sent are generally highly qualified in a specialty. I knew two guys who went to Saudi Arabia in the early 80s because they knew a lot about computers back then. I also knew a guy who went to Saudi in the 90s because he was some kind of phone and telecommunications expert.
Law and business. Years ago, I was doing freelance wholesale for 2 or 3 years about cell phone and motorcycle. Before that I was in charge of marketing department of an Internet provide company (pretty young, and nope, I'm not a genius. Just family business). Then someday I woke up and just want to leave my country. Now I'm 24 and will attend college for BA. I think with the opportunity to study in NY, I can find some job that can take me to around the world.
I guess experience in my country is pretty much useless or doesn't need to take into consideration when I'm in US so, start from scratch again.
My recommendation is to major in international business.
For example, the University of Pittsburgh has a MBA in International Business, but there is also a certificate for International Business you can get with a BS business degree.
Some meeting planners with large corporations travel internationally quite a bit. When I worked at big pharma, the list of places my meeting planner had been to made my head spin!
Do you want to travel or flat out move to different places over and over?
Finance/Accounting. If you get in with a big mulitnational company there definitely is the opportunity to move around the world if you prove yourself.
I'm an auditor and we travel frequently. Business travel is VERY different from vacationing though. It isn't really fun. You work every day in a cubicle or office like usual, but you are in a different city.
Plus, you are stuck with your co-workers for however long the audit lasts. You ride with them in the car, share a hotel with them, eat all of your meals with them, and you are stuck on an airplane with them. Not being able to get away from your co-workers is the worst part about business travel.
Business (auditing is usually on site, consulting, sales), health care (nurses, med tech -- not so much international), language stuff (interpreter/translator), legal (litigation side - attorney, legal videographer, court reporter, interpreter, paralegal, expert witness in something)
I don't mind travel a bit, even 10 times a month is fine. I'm not fantasizing about some business travel where I have free time to explore the city or freely doing whatever I want. It's just I don't want to stay in one place for long. Instead of finding the opportunity to apply for citizenship in US, I think H1b visa is more than enough. After 6 years and relocate to another country for work and repeat. That's my fantasy.
