"Career Benefits of Study Abroad." Career Benefits of Study Abroad. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 Nov. 2015.

This article that I found online has to do with the overall reasons why studying abroad can put you on a successful path to your future. There are multiple statistics of the average percentage that secured a job after graduation with an extremely high salary. Also, the majority of students get into their desired graduate school. Studying abroad helped students' language proficiency and communication for the work force. This article was an easy way to start my research because I got the general idea of the benefits of studying abroad. Going further, I will need more in depth examples and situations and maybe even interviewing students' to get a quantitative research to enhance my argument on this topic. 

"Studying Abroad Could Give You an Edge in the Job Market - CNN.com."CNN. Cable News Network, n.d. Web. 11 Nov. 2015.
I wanted to find an article based off of a student's experience and not just statistical data with the benefits. This article I found discussed a student named Ashley Blackmon and her experience studying in Barcelona. She stressed that during her interview for a difficult marketing position, she did not even discuss the business classes she took in college or even high school or throughout her life. The first thing she spoke about, the only thing, was strictly her studying abroad experience for 5 months. What set her apart from other candidates from this job was her critical thinking skills and her cultural background that she took upon in Barcelona. Since there are such positive outcomes to studying abroad, all important figures in the world are trying to promote international travel for all students. This article was another basic one to gather information from a personal experience. I will have to make a trip to memorial library to find more in depth information towards this topic. I may have to broaden this topic to gather more information but right now there are a lot of hits on studying abroad as it becomes more popular.
