"My study-abroad experience highlighted the importance of culture in creating an attractive, productive business climate in Costa Rica. I am definitely more interested now in international business and would be more likely to consider a job opportunity abroad. When you can apply your interest in finance and accounting to another country, as I did, it is far more valuable and creates a well-rounded learning environment."
