Work, Travel, Study

Was looking up on programes on tourism that I could do and came to realise that I should be looking at Masters programes and not those short diploma courses. After all, I have a degree already, I should make use of that leverage and advance to something higher. Quite a few masters programes in tourism or business don't require degree in the relevant field. Also, I am starting to toy with the idea of doing a masters overseas. It only seems logical to me, since I so want to spend sometime abroad.

Guess the only issue is money. For that, I happen to come across a scholarship given by a tourism education institute in Australia (www.the-ice.org) for doing masters programs under their member institutes. Without a scholarship, I'm even toying with the idea of doing a part-time masters and work while I study. I thought, since I want to do work and travel, why not work, travel and study altogether!?!?

One of the courses that caught my eye is the Master of Hotel and Tourism Management by Southern Cross Uni (http://www.scu.edu.au/schools/tourism/index.php?page_id=217&menu=4_159). It has an internship component which I think is really good, practical learning experience. Of course, I will need to further look into all the available courses. All these are still ideas.. swimming around in my head. I can't even say for certain I want to foray into the tourism industry as a career. Really don't know yet. Need to find out much more. But right now, these ideas are very appealing to me. Help me take a look at the scholarship and programe and give me your views on it can? Thanx.
