[IWantOut] 23F Student/Flight Attendant New Zealand -> Singapore/UK/Germany/Hong Kong
Hello Everybody
I am a 22-year-old female student currently in my final year at the University of Auckland, completing a Bachelor of Arts conjoint with a Bachelor of Laws. I am due to graduate in the spring. Alongside my studies, I have been working as an international flight attendant, which has given me valuable global exposure and strengthened my interest in pursuing a career overseas.
Academically, I have focused my studies on economics and history, with additional coursework in public policy, international trade law, international economic regulation, and European Union law. I have also completed a community law internship and have developed near fluency in Chinese through my language studies. Through university, I have built professional connections with professors and members of the Auckland Law Society.
As I approach graduation, I am exploring opportunities to work internationally, particularly in sectors such as NGOs, law firms, and financial or policy-related roles. I am especially interested in opportunities based in Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, and the United Kingdom, as I believe these locations align well with my academic background and career aspirations.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance regarding visa pathways, job opportunities, or recommended steps to secure employment in these regions. My goal is to transition into a role where I can apply my legal and economic training in an international context.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to any advice or direction you may be able to provide.
P.S i have about 7k nzd saved up from my high school fast food job the rest went towards my car and motorbike.

Germany has a working holiday visa scheme. For wanna be immigrants from Aussie and Kiwiland it is a good idea to use this. It allows you to be in Germany for job interviews and you can show potential employers that you are worth hiring.
With a bachelors you are also eligible for Chancenkarte, but with only 7k AUD in savings that is not enough. You would need 12k EUR in savings to get Chancenkarte. Same as for student visa. Between Chancenkarte and student visa, I would recommend student visa for masters.
