Why should I go to New Zealand in the first place when I have everything in India?
This is mainly because no one pays you in dollars in India. Let's be honest and accept the fact. Almost 90% of the queries every Educational Consultant face are about the job prospects after a course. New Zealand, being a emerging nation offers, lucrative careers. Furthermore, an advanced nation allows more opportunities in quality of life by the sheer fact that the infrastructure is better and negative factors like corruption, pollution, etc are less compared to developing nations. The assurance of essential services like power, water, transportation, etc ensures the quality of life stays on an even level.
If study is the only option to settle, why should I choose New Zealand?
Well, what do you really want when you decide to study abroad? We think you want the following: Good quality of education and living standard in an advanced, English speaking country. Being able to work part-time while studying to support oneself for living expenses without having to call parents every month. Student friendly policies to seek jobs after studies and get a permanent residency (green card). Safety in terms of racism and crime and a good economic landscape to find permanent jobs. One needs to keep it mind that when one decides to study abroad, he makes a huge investment in terms of money, time, effort and emotions. It needs to be ensured that the real reward for all this is by securing a satisfying career preferably at the international level.
