Traveling Jobs in IT?

Posted by Cliff on from the avoiding-the-cube-farm dept.

wed128 asks: "I am currently a freshman at Penn State University, studying for a Computer Engineering degree. However, I look at the graduates ahead of me and many of them are cubical warriors. This doesn't really bother me, however i'd like to see the world before being confined to a cube for the rest of my life. Are there any jobs in an IT field where I can travel? How would I go about getting the right contacts regarding this? I have 4 years till graduation, so this isn't a direct plea for a job..."

    Well, there's always the Navy. They're always looking for skilled people willing to server.

    With your IT degree you will be perfectly prepared 4 years from now to land a job in India or China doing IT work for American companies.

    and many of them are cubical warriors

    If you wish to travel the world, it is highly likely that you will need to command at least two languages. From your post, it is clear that you do not yet command your native tongue and a second language is highly doubtful.

    Cubical refers to a cube shape. Cubicle refers to a partitioned space, ironically for sleeping, such as a carrell that is commonly used for office workers.

    As a student at a prominent university, with desires to "see the world", one should really have a better grasp on the English language. Most US employers require their employees to be skilled in English. Obvious exceptions include Yellow Cab and 7-Eleven.
