So I'm here in Austin on a work trip for my new gig--working for Across the Pond.
ATP is a company that is funded by multiple UK universities to help students get over to the UK for graduate study. It is a free service for students and assists with the sometimes overwhelming process of getting and living abroad, from visa applications to researching programs. My job is to be a presence at grad fairs and enlighten the American public that, yes--you can go abroad for your Master's degree! It's been a joy working for a company I believe in, and while I'm only working part-time for them, I know deep down in my bones this is the right field for me. Whether I can continue full time with ATP or a company like it, I truly know this is where I belong.
Also, it's rather nice to be in Austin, traveling for work, eating BBQ, and visiting with blog friends. But more on that later...

I hope you're having a blast in Austin - let me know if you need any food recommendations (although I'm sure you're getting plenty). Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteCan't hear about your Austin adventures!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you found an organization like that. I hope that it works out, or that it can lead to a similar organization. Sometimes just getting into the certain field helps.
