Opportunities outside of the U.S

Germany- Germany has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the EU. There's a shortage of skilled workers in many professions in Germany. These include qualified engineers  (mechanical, automotive, electrical and building,) scientists, mathematicians, IT specialist and both hospital doctors and GPs.

Ireland- The key sectors of the Irish economy are services, industry and exportation. Trade and exportation have grown hugely in recent years. The country is one of the worlds largest software exporters thanks to low taxation, its geographical location and the fact that English is an official language of the country. 

Russia- There is a strong TEFL market in Russia, but you'll need a good knowledge of Russian, particularly outside Moscow.The main opportunities are working for an international firm, teaching English, or working for a non-governmental organization (NGO). Russia has more academic graduates than any country in Europe, so there is no shortage of candidates to fill graduate positions. 

REFLECTION: I think that having a job/career outside of the U.S is a huge opportunities. You get to experience the different type of culture. You also meet new people and try their food and their religious culture. Many countries in Europe are wealthy and have a huge wage.
