If you know what job you want, find someone on twitter or in a blog, or on brazen careerist that is in the company, and talk with them via social media. Establish rapport. Then ask for help with the job hunt.

The only suggestion I have is that you need to apply to A LOT of scholarships in order to get enough to fund your trip. Like 100. Some colleges allow financial aid to count for study abroad too.
