So I have my resume on monster.com and as you know I work in the environmental field as an Environmental Scientist.
Well I got an email the other day about their need for an Environmental Specialist II to work at an Army base in Kuwait. I want y'all's input on this opportunity. The pay is 67,904$ which is like 80,000$ or so in money over here. Everything is tax free. The deployments are a year long
They pretty much cover all of my expenses, including transportation, housing, gym, medical insurance. Everything that a normal company would provide and then some. The gentleman who I spoke with says your biggest expense would be food. He said he was able to bank his salary and just live off his Foreign Area Living Allowance (FALA)
Where I am torn is my girlfriend. We have been dating for 9 months. I plan on marrying her eventually, just not right now.
If I accepted this, I could come home and buy a single family house easily. As you know I still live at home with my parents.
I really don't know what to do. If I didn't have a girlfriend, I would do it without thinking twice, but I am never going to find another girl like her.
They work Saturday to Wednesday and have Thursday and Friday off.
In June its 112 degrees Fahrenheit, but it is only 5% humidity. So its a dry heat.
Thanks. Anyone ever been through this?
