I love this video! This is exactly what I want to do in life! I want to ask how did you build a life for yourself outside of work with all the traveling? If you don’t mind me asking how much does this career path make it difficult to have a family?

This is amazing. Thank you ! I’m interviewing at a DFI, though, I don’t have experience, I’ve developed my capacities and I’m passionate about a career in international development. I hope I get the job

You really are an inspiration. I have a degree in agricultural economics and would like to major in international development when I get funds because that’s where my passion is.Thank you for this video.

Hello! Will graduating a course in Labor and Employment Relations beneficial in a Development career path?

I recently decided to make a career shift and pursue Community Development work. However, I'm currently enrolled in a diploma program in Labor and Employment Relations. We study about the history of labor problems & current labor malpractices as well as labor laws and economic principles but geared more towards Human Resources and developing corporations and organizations. I've invested time and money in it already and I wanna know if finishing that course will still be helpful in a career path towards Development work?
