I studied MSc in\u00a0Tourism Management &amp; Marketing course and graduated in 2010. After graduation I returned to Vietnam and\u00a0I am currently working\u00a0as\u00a0\u00a0a Lecturer in tourism marketing at Hong Bang International University. I am also the co-founder of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sunaca.com\">Sunaca.com<\/a> and a partner in other projects, including brand consulting for international export.<\/p>\n<p>The MSc\u00a0degree opened up many opportunities and allowed me to do what I\u2019m doing now.\u00a0The\u00a0\u00a0course\u00a0was an extraordinary experience. The course enabled me to gain many insights into marketing,\u00a0tourism and Information Communicate Technology. All the lecturers are very good, knowledgeable, helpful and supportive. But\u00a0I think it\u2019s the change in mindset that has helped me the most.<\/p>\n<p>During my time at BU I was involved with many extra-curricular activities while studying, and\u00a0in particular\u00a0I helped out with the photography for some seminars and photographs for a charitable event.<\/p>\n<p>I had a great time and learned a lot from the interesting and diverse people that I met.\u00a0My\u00a0BU experience was a truly valuable experience.<\/p>\n<p>Recent graduates looking for work should just stay true to your passion and interests, but be prepared to do other kinds of work to\u00a0survive until you can work in your dream job or business.
