@memphis I remember you being a blue suiter, you got out?
So, chances of a young brotha with a computer science degree landing a 80k+ job?
Man.. I wish I still knew. I would be down to do at least a year.any info on where i can get in on this? Id be down to dip for a year or 2.
When I was playing soccer in Germany..
I saw quite a few expatriates working there..
Their jobs were taking care of most expenses..
If I ever obtained my work visa I would have been glad to work for a company over there..
I wouldn't mind working for the right company in Brazil either..
Job opportunities for Americans are increasing over there.
I was playing for Vfl Osnabruck.. Trying to break into the senior squad..Doing what? I know a lot of military have been stationed there over the years and still are. Tell me about playing soccer in Germany, what club? I do want to do a lot of traveling, I would love to live in another country. I love soccer so sports wouldn't be much of an issue for me
Culture shock can last from 6-18 months I believe. It's only natural that a lot of people would have a difficult time adjusting. For me, some of the places I would look into would be: Brazil, Dubai, Qatar, Germany, and other Asian countries.
I'm working on getting a nursing degree. I'm not sure what options that would give me in terms of living in another country. Male nurses do well here. And I also plan on getting for a PhD eventually. School in another country is always a possibility.
If any of you have the opportunity, you should certainly take it.
Also, checking out traveling shows like No Reservations helps gain some insight to the culture at least
I was playing for Vfl Osnabruck.. Trying to break into the senior squad..
They are in the 3rd division.. It was fun because it was the first and only time I got paid to actually do what I love doing..
I was making 600 euros a week under the table and I had place to stay with no responsibilities.. Just play soccer..
Coaches suck though.. If you play like Khedira or Mueller.. They LOVE you. Or if you are big striker like Gomez you're good money..
Me.. I play similar to a Rooney or Ballotelli or even Sturridge.. The style doesn't go well with most coaches over there. I tried to adjust but I realized it was pointless..
I had people showing me around so it helped with the culture shock. You really don't need a car and everything is in walking distance.. So that was cool.
I did some networking for other opportunities while I was there too..
I met a couple Americans that were working for Hellmann logistics company..
They said they have job openings and there was a possibility of me getting a job there if I obtained my work visa..
I also met some Americans from the local basketball team who had significant others that held nice positions at hotels.
Its all about getting that work visa though.. I guess you have to prove that you already have a company that has offered you a job.
^If you don't mind me asking how did you get the international job? through employer posting position available in India or something? or finding the India position on an international job posting site?
Everyday life for us military people.
I'm in Afghan and I've met civilians who re-up their contracts every year and been here 4-5 years, racking up 150k+ TAX FREE a year doing easy work.
Hell, even do a quick year, stack up your dough tax free and go back home.

I have a friend who is doing that right now. Had another friend who applied last year but didn't get the job. I think it's because he's a little socially awkward . The same type of job was being offered through my college for the duration of a semester or two. I'm graduating in a few weeks and will look into it. I need to start filling up my bank accounts since they are so empty.I have lived overseas in South Korea for four years teaching English. I wish I had thought about this when I was younger. I wasted being 21 to 23 in some stressful, not for me, corporate job in Atlanta, GA with AT&T (I'm from Cali). 23 to 27 (my age now) have been the most productive, and stress-free years of my life.
I moved over to South Korea and have had an amazing time here and stacked scrills.
The UAE (Abu Dhabi and Dubai) are always looking for teaching jobs. Especially Summertime, but just know its around 100-120 degrees
