Or won't they care much aslong as I know the stuff I need to know?

Oops, hadnt read that far. To answer you, many businesses are looking for international experience (though like you said, generally within their field), but not exclusively so - working in another culture can help you with your communications, teamwork, tolerance and other skills that might be desired by (particularly large) corporations. Particularly if you let them know that you have those broader skills.
The idea i had - you working in IT within a school - is then a mixture of the two; it stays in your IT field, its experience in a foreign country, and should contribute positively to your application process.
Have a poke around:
