I can attest to this, visiting another country is cool but I'm in Germany right now fam and I have to say it's not that enjoyable.

A few years back..
My aunt in Alabama was telling me how the company she works for got a military contract..
Where they recruited civilians to go to Afghan.. I think she said Kuwait and Iraq too..
Basically the civilians completed simple tasks.. Like sorting mail..
She said you have the option to get your income taxed or get it tax free..
But if you decide to get your money taxed.. They give you a higher salary.
Told me kids straight out of high school going and coming back with 75k after 1 year

Article was a good read. I'd go overseas in a minute. Need to finish my degree so I can take that hotel manager from Koala Lumpur's offer
You can't even spell Kuala Lumpur why would you go there

IDk their degrees, but hell.. half of them talk and look like they dropped out of high school lol.
But looks can be deceiving.
Even the local contractors do janitorial work and making 75k.. just doing half *** cleaning jobs.
Depending what part of Afghan you in, not so bad as you think. You not ducking bullets and bombs allday everyday. But we have had occasional rocket attacks the past week now it's heating up here.
I sit in a air conditioned building, got flat screens everywhere.. just watched the Nets beat the Bulls.
Xbox, PS3 , watching movies is alot of my 12hr shift. Only time us medics really do work is if someone
Free food in all the dining facilities, some nice looking local afghan chicks.. we'll nice as it's gone get lol.
Especially you making six figs, it ain't a bad deal. But not for everyone

To visit, yes. It's a great tourist country. Diving, friendly locals, good food, cheap, etc. But I personally can't stand traffic and overpopulation.

So, chances of a young brotha with a computer science degree landing a 80k+ job?

If you teach, try to get in DODEA schools. You can go to many different countries. My wife did it years ago and has been in Japan for 6. They pay for housing so you'll be pocketing some money. Pretty expensive here though.
