Spanish and Chinese are the biggest ones right now. Business are really hiring bilingual people in these fields. Trust me, I've looked!

change of career international trade or banking?

We Answered:

Change of career between International Trade or Event management.
Well, quite a decision.
First I want to say that from my point of view, the International Trade has nothing similar with Event management, basically because the "risk level" is way too different between those careers/ jobs.
But if you want to get a job with deadlines and work under pressure I can tell you without any doubt, you may chose International Trade. Here are my reasons:
At International Trade, International Commerce, Foreign Trade or any similar, you'll be under a different kinds of pressure, as in international trade you have to interact with many parties that are involved in the commerce process: producers, carriers, ware houses, maneuverist, surveyors, authorities (customs and related), exporters, importers, banks, brokers, shipping lines, insurance companies and even lawyers. As you can see there are a lot of parties involved so, it doesnt matter where would you participate, you can be sure that you'll have to interact and try to coordinate all the parties looking for achieve project objectives, time lines, financial limits, goverment regulations, etc, etc.
For this area you must understand and consider that you'll risk your health(stress, nerviousism,etc), your social relationships (sometimes you have to be available 24/7) and many times -in case of possible personal/ company errors- your money (errors on international commerce must be pay by someone, always). Obviously, you must have some abbilities for work in this area, academic (learned) and non academic (usually natural ones).

Well, I hope this can give you a better view of this career, I consider that you'll find the pressure and demanding situatons that you want.

languages for international finance?

We Answered:

Since you are speaking in English, I assume you know english. If you speak Spanish and Italian correctly, then probably French is the next easiest language to learn, but German will probably be the most useful, especially since it is a number of the German speaking languages in Europe that are the centers of Finance.

Good luck. International Finance is going to be wild ride during the next few years.

I am finishing up my studies in Finance and Business Economics and I went with German.

Nothing bad to say about German. Frankfurt-am-Main is the largest financial center on mainland Europe.
