> The biggest problem in these situations is that people are highly dependent an their current job (especially in the US) It's not only that, it's also that the money is really good, comparatively speaking. One of my close friends is a tech guy and works for the biggest European defence company, which is mostly a French-German alliance (they're also in the business of making planes), and two of his last job stints abroad have been in Afghanistan and in Saudi Arabia. There's no way he could have made the sort of money that he made had he decided to work for a local, very boring company (I live in an Eastern European capital city).
