For this assignment, use Web and library resources to research globalized professionals. Pay special attention to the way this concept relates to your current major (such as Accounting, Finance, MIS).

Using the information you have found, write a 400-500 words paper outlining your thoughts. If the idea of becoming a globalized professional appeals to you, describe how you might enhance your qualifications. If the idea does not appeal to you, explain why.
