恳请成功申请人或陪读申请人指教：去非洲交换半年还是辞职去美国学语言，哪个选择对申请更有利？

yhj_888

在一家小有名气的外企工作4年做到中层管理，不算太好， 也不算太差。 感觉背景有点普通， 想在今年10月第一轮申请前做一些加厚背景的工作。 我现在有3个选择：
1，    跟公司申请去非洲交流3-6个月， 同时在当地工作时做做志愿者。
2，    辞职去美国陪读，准备怀孕生小孩（马上30岁了）。 同时在美国上语言学校（虽然英文还可以， 但在中国人里面不算顶尖， 对MBA 面试也有点担心）， 去学校做campus visit, 在美国当地做做志愿者。
3，    跟公司申请去欧洲交流3-6个月。 可以试一下，但难度稍大点。  

想想非洲的疟疾的确有点害怕。 不知非洲的交流经历在申请时的作用有多大呢？同时， 如果是陪读， 是否离职的那段空白期（大约半年）会对申请不利呢？
急切恳求过来人指点。

1, true volunteerism is seldom found in a machiavellianist, no matter what continent we are talking about. africa wouldn't make any difference.
2, work out your relationship problems.  the dynamic between you and your husband wouldn't be improved by working on anything other than the relationship itself.

虽然言辞犀利， 不过还是感谢。 但我是来请大家出谋划策各抒己见的， 不是来听别人教育的哦， 呵呵。。

first of all, thanks for taking this as an "education". i'm flattered.
secondly, you didn't pay anything or owe any mandatory commitment to make sure you get exactly what you want (or what you like) the others to comment from posting on a public forum.
however, i tried my best to give the best advice i could. that is volunteerism

不知道楼主想好了没有呢？
我也遇到了类似的情况，好像出去看看。
有朋友在厄立特里亚的没？

看了楼主的帖子，佩服楼主英文好， 更是佩服楼主做了4年的non-profit. 请问楼主是在中国做哪方面的non-profit呢？一般怎么个申请法呢？

南非、肯尼亚还是OK啦。要是尼日利亚、马达加斯加之流就算了。。。

总之还是觉得就为了单纯增加点Uniqueness在那边呆半年着实不值~优尼科这种事，主要靠发掘~~

谦虚哥

Johannesburg 绝对值得去，绝对长见识。非洲就是几十年前的深圳。但是考虑到LZ马上30生孩子了，还是不要这么拼了。
