International cross-cultural experience is key to success in today's job markets. It is imperative to be "globally ready" to compete in a constantly changing world economy. By having studied in different countries you prove to employers that you are capable of coping with change and that you can perform effectively in an international setting. Additionally, working as a summer intern can give you better access to the work culture and job opportunities in each country.
