I did a stint in Eastern Europe with the Corps. That was much more like real "work" than Iraq. Had the time of my life.
Germany was "real work" for me. I'd still be there if I could.

Worked in Saudi for a couple of years before ,during and after the Gulf War (First one)
Had alot of good times. Hung out with a bunch of different nationalities there.Being an old Southern Boy I wondered whether or not I'd fit in enough but it was a true adventure, to say the least.
Of course doing a hitch with Uncle Sam around the globe helped to broaden my horizons as well.
If your under 30 and single you owe it to yourself to give it a try, depending on where you are planning to go. I don't know if I would do the Saudi thing these days. Would take some serious $$ to make me consider it.

Been teaching in Korea for 3 years. It's been great and fruatrating at times. I'm ready to go to the states for a bit but I suspect I won't stay long.
If you don feel strongly about leavin it all behind then it's probably not the life for you.

If I could do things over I'd do that in a heartbeat. Wish I could now.

in my experience, when you find a job that pays well, there is a damn good reason why it pays well...may not be apparent at first, but there is always a reason...

Been in Dubai for 10 years. I've never worked in the States. It's been a priceless experience; I'll stay another 10 years at least.

I have to ask: what the frick happened? If my life irredeemably went to shite to where I couldn't show myself in American society again, my backup plan is to teach English in China.

I work full time in Germany.
Great experience for me and my family.
I'd highly recommend it, although it is highly dependent upon where you are and what your job is.

quote:Santa Fe Argentina 1999 to 2002 - working for one of the big oil chemical companies - 28 on 28 off - pay was about 30% more than state side. Travel was about a day and half - friends working in Kazakhstan (same corp) had almost a 3 day travel experience working 28/28 - weather for them was a bitch in the winter - not so much in S.A.
I'm talking full time. Not just a trip. Seeing all kinds of jobs in my field with much better pay but I'm not sure I could leave all I have behind. Maybe just for a while to stash some money? Experiences?

If you are single then leave tomorrow. You will save more money, have more memorable experiences, meet foreign women. It is a no lose situation. You can always come home in a year if it doesn't suit you.
