public event

Studierende der American Studies stellen sich während ihres Bachelors oder Masters sicher oft die Frage, welche Berufe sie mit ihrem Abschluss ergreifen können. Da am Ende des Studiums kein konkreter Beruf wartet, gibt es eine große Auswahl an Jobs und viele mögliche Perspektiven und Wege, die ihr einschlagen könnt. Steige ich direkt in das Arbeitsleben ein? Ist eine Promotion für mich das richtige? Wie stehen meine Chancen im Ausland? Welche Tätigkeiten kommen überhaupt für mich in Frage?
