To me, working internationally has always been appealing. It provides an opportunity to go beyond being a tourist and really get to know a country, its people, and its culture - all while being able to financially support yourself. In one sense, international work experiences (to me), sound like a vacation and ignores the reality of work and the stresses of a new environment. What about you? Do you want to work aboard? Why or why not? What are some of the pros and cons? Why are individuals motivated to accept international assignments? Which of these motivations would you consider as positive reasons (or motives)? Which would you consider as negative reasons (motives)?
