well got a buddy that left to iraq last wednesday to be a "cafeteria lady" lol, said all he has to do is scrub pots and pans, clean floors, fill salt shakers, and put out silverware. said he will be there for a year and he will get $100k for the year, tax free.

I was wondering if anybody else has worked over there in iraq. seems like easy money, but of course your having to risk your life. Anybody with friends or family or personal experience over there please chime in, really thinking about going. thanks fellas

 

I don't believe the $100k for being a 'cafeteria lady'. I'm guessing he exaggerated that a little bit. There are a lot of jobs over there that do pay $100k and up but you won't be scrubbing pots and pans. You'll be out in the field (or desert) working and most of these jobs you need some kind of prior experience. Going to Iraq is something one needs to think hard about.

 

Two good friends of mine are over there, one does fleet maintenance on trucks and the other does some kind of security thing he won't talk about. Both of them are heading home after their next break, there is some kind of election or something and **** might hit the fan.

They like it for the money, but you can tell they're both miserable. My buddy that does fleet work says over and over he just happy to be out of debt, but hates how he had to do it. They get 2 weeks off at home every 6-9 months and are both married (don't know how).

 

I went, but I worked for Uncle Sam... LOL...

 

I bet el sancho has a field day with those desparate housewives.

 

LOL, not sancho. That dirty little scrub.I went with uncle sam also, there are alot of jobs there that pay good, but I like my *** in the states.LOL.
