Hey all,
I am trying to make some difficult decisions about fieldwork and, more specifically, whether or not to pursue international fieldwork. I am an older student, so I plan on working in the area that I am in school. I was originally planning on getting all of my fieldwork in this area to increase my exposure to local clinics and hopefully make connections for future employment. However, international fieldwork opportunities are presenting themselves and it's hard to say if the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Well, I say drawbacks, but what I should have said was DEBT. It's spendy! Can any students or professionals out there tell me why they chose (or didn't choose) to take international fieldwork? Does it look fancy on a resume? Did you get more scholarships because you did it? Was it a quality educational experience? Thanks all!
