Hello DKUMPUNEN, the folks who I have talked to who have worked as contractors over there have said that unlike the military folks who are there, they weren't allowed to be armed themselves. Personally, I don't know that I could work under those sorts of conditions. I do understand that there could certainly be some good money to be made, yet as Al stated, it's a little hard to enjoy it if you aren't around afterwards. Best regards, aevald
There are a lot of get rich quick postings out there. Some in Nigeria, some in S. America, etc etc. As a rule of thumb, If it's sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
There are in fact 100K - 1/4 million plus contracts to be had out there, but they are in places you may or may not come back from.
I look at it this way, 100K to 150K in states is reasonably good deal. 1/4 million plus in a place I stand a 50/50 chance of being killed not such a good deal.
It is possible to get to the 1/4 million/year mark in the states with the right cert package, but your going to be working 360 out of 365 days to do it typically.
I know one individual that took on a contract in Canada that has turned into a 1 million plus deal, but when all taxes, wages for help, and everything else he's had to foot, it's kicked him back to 150k actual gain.
My take on it for what it's worth.
