Any recommendations for working abroad?

I'm a recent graduate (B.S. in Geology and Enviro. Studies with a concentration in Sustainable Development) and I am really wanting to work abroad. I've been trying to do as much research as possible and would like to do something in my field (not teach english) but with so much info to sift through on google it's been difficult finding comprehensive info. I don't know anyone who's done anything similar so I'm wondering if any of you have experience/recommendations.
I would love to go to Asia (Japan, S. Korea, China, Thailand, India, etc..) but I'm really open for whatever pretty much anywhere other than the Middle East and Eastern Europe. I used to live in Argentina so would prefer Africa/E. Asia but I wouldn't snub my nose at something in Central/S America.
Thanks for the help/input! And if you recommend I move this to another thread let me know (I wasn't sure which to post in).

Know the US tax laws for expatriates and try to get the company who sponsors you to pay the taxes you do owe.

I know of probably 8 landscape architects that went to China after school

Don't look to China or India for any sort of environmental or sustainable development jobs.

Really? Companies do that for expats?

1st piece of advice is that a lot of women don't like being called that, so play it safe and come up with a more tactful word.
That's all you get for free.

Does not compute.

Yes. I file tax exempt and my company calculates what my tax bill should be and gives me a hypotax to pay it. You need to make sure their calculation is accurate and know the tax laws for expatriates so you don't get a bill at tax time. Also a good idea to use an address in a state with no state taxes.

Don't go to Africa or the ME.
You're welcome.

Also know that if an employer pays taxes that you owe, you will then owe taxes on the amount paid by your employer, which is treated as regular income.

Get ready to pay double taxes and acquaint yourself with FATCA if you're planning to buy property overseas.
The IRS has the power to seize your bank account overseas if they think you didn't pay all of your taxes.

Isn't that only if you spend 6 weeks or more (Whatever the cap they give you is. I'm just guessing) in the United States? I thought if you spent under a certain amount of time in the US annually, you didn't have to pay income tax.

Yes that's right. You should make sure that's calculated in.
