I'm a writer and content strategist working on a monthly editorial series for a study abroad organization exploring the real, long-term impact of studying abroad. This installment focuses on career pivots, professionals who look back 5-10 years later and can trace a direct line between their time abroad and where they ended up professionally. Looking for responses from professionals who studied abroad at any point and can speak honestly about how it shaped their career — whether that's an industry switch, a new skill set, an unexpected opportunity, or a complete reinvention. The piece will be published on our organization's website and LinkedIn with full attribution including your name, title, and company. What is one way your study abroad experience directly changed your career path — and where did you end up 5-10 years later?
