Now my question is: What is the best way to approach such a goal? Major in Finance. I live in Ohio. Born in Europe/Bosnia. I really want to work in one of the two mentioned countries. I forgot to mention. Would it be a better move if I had someone in one of the two countries bring me over somehow?

It is extremely difficult to get a work visa to work in a foreign country. you must have a job skill that is needed there...and often must have a job offer and documentation of enough income to support yourself. You need to start your research by going to the websiteds of the embassies ofSwitzerland and Austria to read their requirements for getting a work visa. the first website below gives contact info for the Embassy of Switzerland. They do not give work visa info on the website...you have to call or email them with your questions. The 2nd wesite gives info on a residence permit for Austria, and you can also click on "contact' at the top of the page to get their phone number. the next 2 websites are info on working in Switzerland. good luck in your research.

I do have a friend in Geneva, Switzerland. She works for a bank. but what she did was she went into a big bank in the USA then, she applied for a transfer to the bank in Switzerland with the same company. Its easier when the Company backs you up with your Working Visa applications. Nonetheless, learn German or French before you go, its a plus.

There is an agreement for the exchange of young professionals between the United States and Switzerland. Under this agreement it is easy to get a limited work permit if you find a job or an internship. Contact the Swiss consulate for details about the agreement. Btw: To find a job it is recommendable to speak one of Switzerland's national languages.
