As many of you know, I've been looking for permanent employment for a while (10+ years in computer networks integration / administration / support).
I received this in email from a friend and I don't think I'll be applying... The $35 per day per diem raises the salary to over $4300/mo or $52,000/yr... If I was single and in my twenties... it'd be tempting... No taxes makes the resident equivalent to over $62k per year (assuming 20% taxes, most folks pay more). >Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 05:39:36 -0800 > > Looking for a new job? > >> >> This was being posted on other 911 related groups. >> >> >>> AREA SUPPORT GROUP-KUWAIT EMERGENCY SERVICES DISPATCHER >>> >>> CSA Ltd., A Department of Defense Contract in Kuwait currently has >>> the following position open.
