Become a more self-aware and intelligent person by studying abroad. 82% of exchange students feel as though they see the world in a different way after going overseas. Why is that? First of all, traveling will make better workers by increasing the ability to solve the problem intelligently (as you will become used to seeing different methods and outlooks). It will also make you a more relaxed individual who is able to see new solutions without stressing for an answer to the problem. You will have better non-verbal communication skills after traveling abroad, especially if you go to a location where you cannot speak the language. Finally, you will garner an understanding of yourself and have better self-awareness after time in a new environment. By upgrading your understanding of the world, yourself, and different cultures you will increase your earning potential!
