What kind of International job can you get with a MBA in International Business?

I plan on getting my MBA in International Business, but I do not want to stay here in the United States. I want to minor in the Italian language, so I am curious as to what kind of job I could get in Italy. Maybe in Rome or Naples, but any city would be fine towards the middle or south of Italy. Also, is Italy easier to live in than the United States price wise?

1. That depends. Are you Italian? If so, you could probably get a job in Italy reasonably easily. However, if you are an American, the chances are that unless you have a lot of prior work experience, you won't get a job out of the country for a number of years after getting your MBA. Most of the people I know who have gone in that direction have worked from the U.S. with international contacts, with the eventual goal (often 10 years or so) or being able to go overseas. There are a few exceptions, but generally companies don't send entry-level employees abroad to live.
2. Naples, you want to live in Naples? Have you been to that armpit? Anyway, depends where you got the degree from. Top programs are well known in Europe and respected, less programs are not.
