Hello,
If you want to work internationally and you are a citizen of the USA, I suggest you join the Peace Corps. If you’re serious about it, the Peace Corps provides an unparalleled experience in living with local people at their level. It provides a unique experience that will inform your work and worldview for the rest of your life.
After Peace Corps, I’ve spent 30 years working in international relief and development, and the foundation provided by the Peace Corps experience has been a really positive influence on all of it.
Best,
Maryanne
