    I'm a girl and I'm very strongly considering it. I could earn more in a single year there than I could in my first three years after graduating here in the States. The tax incentives alone... If I can just find a way to entertain myself for two years I very likely would give it a go.

    But, you're right that it's not for everyone.

        One of my ex's dad is a senior partner with an engineering firm in Saudi Arabia. They're recruiting engineers in specific fields for a decade+ infrastructure revamping plan. I know it would be awkward having to work apart from most of the rest of the teams who're almost exclusively guys, but I would really like to pay off all my bills by the time I'm 23 or 24. And taxes in the US eat up so MUCH of our income, making that an impossibility if I stay here like nearly every other graduate. Plus, I've seen pictures of some really pretty burkas! They make them in different fabrics and colors and patterns now! I think I could do it for 2 years...

        What would you do if you couldn't go to the movies or if Internet was very limited?
