Expat Jobs: The one industry that is booming right now
By J. Jones

So many people out there are lucky to have a job and spend most of there time trying to keep it rather then get ahead.  The overseas job market is booming and getting ahead only takes the initiative of keeping an updated resume and decent networking skills.  Overseas jobs are pretty easy to get once you have had one before and it is not looked down on if you only work a couple years with a company.  Contracting jobs are only one or two year contracts and as long as you complete the contract you look very enticing to employers with overseas job openings.  getting to a pay scale of $80,000 is not that difficult if you are wiling to go where the money is and are willing to upgrade your education when ever you get a chance.  If you decide working in risky parts of the world is an option for you $100,000 plus is an easy pay scale to reach.  If you are making $140,000 overseas remember that about $85,000 of your income is nontaxable.  This makes your $140,000 more like $165,000 and you haven not even taken into account that your living expenses are paid for by the company.  You do not have to be an executive or high level manager to make over $100,000 you can be a plain old technician and make this much.  It is hard for these companies to get people to fill these overseas job slots don't you think it is time you took advantage of that.  Overseas jobs are a great way to get ahead and stay ahead.  With the dollar dropping those living overseas are hurt a bit by the  exchange rate but when you go from making $30,000 to $80,000 - $120,000 a year it is hard to complain.
