Even though Domas Girtavi?ius, a young perspective specialist fluent in three languages and has the possibility to choose any country in which to live and work, he moved back to Lithuania after graduating in Economics and Chinese Language in USA as he decided to contribute to his homeland, Sigita Limontait? wrote in ?Tiesa?.
He has graduated from Middlebury College in Economics and Chinese Language. Moreover, as a part of his studies in Middlebury College, it was mandatory for him to choose one of the University?s branches or partners in a foreign country. As Domas explains, it was only natural for him to choose to spend a semester in China, as he was already studying the language.
When asked why the recent graduate decided not to pursue a career in USA or China, he explained that his decision was based on the philosophy of choosing a first job position where h could get the highest number of opportunities and a place to grow. As he noted, Lithuania is a great place to work and improve for those who graduated from really good universities. For instance, those working in a branch of any of the Big 4 financial enterprises in Lithuania are coping during their first year with some of the tasks that their colleagues in USA experience only in their second or third year.
Even though the Chinese language is known to be extremely complicated and difficult, Domas had studied it for four years, and as he noted, Middlebury College in USA is known for its extremely intense Chinese language programs. All of the students sign a contract that obliges them not to speak any other language except for the one they are studying during their summer vacations and their studies abroad. Because of this method students become highly fluent in a very short period of time.
D.Girtavi?ius has recently started to work in ?Invest Lithuania?, where most of his work time is devoted to attractinginvestments from China.
According to D.Girtavi?ius, Lithuania is attractive to foreign investors due to several reasons: 1 the logistically convenient geographical placement of Lithuania with easy links to Scandinavia, Western Europe or Russia?s markets, 2 efficiently expanded IT? infrastructure, and 3 most importantly, the staff. His company emphasizes that Lithuania boasts that it has a convenient infrastructure, a number of highly trained and talented as well as affordable specialists, most of whom are fluent in at least two languages and possess good knowledge of communication technologies. In the global market, Lithuania is seen as a country from which one would buy business? process services, due to the convenience for the foreign companies to reach a variety of global markets. Moreover, Lithuania is one of the leaders in the internet speed and mobile technologies usage. Great conditions for manufacturing projects are provided by the free economic zone as well as the industrial estates.
D. Girtavi?ius also admits that he sees Lithuania as a place with many opportunities for the young, innovative and educated in many different career paths. Many young specialists are getting chances here which to most would be unreachable in bigger markets.
Reflecting on his studies, Domas says that the best universities in USA are famous for their workload and the individual attention given to the students. To study one has to learn discipline and hard work. However, the whole environment and atmosphere is highly motivating; for example, when one can find at least half of his course mates in the library studying at 11 in the evening and when a professor stops by and gives suggestions for the article which one is currently working on.
When asked if he is planning on moving soon, the young graduate answers that the world is too unpredictable and that it is natural for professionals working in international markets or speaking several languages to travel a lot or be placed in a foreign country. However, for the time being,? he claims to be happy and wants to work here. He also admits that even though the circumstances might change at some point, he intends to keep ties to Lithuania in the future and spend at least some of his time in the homeland.
