Default Would you take this job?

Say you were offered a job at a company overseas. It's a large company and your family members run/own it. Pay is amazing to western standards w/expense accounts and no gov't taxes and your position will be that of a middle manager with opportunities to advance. You're not too qualified for the job, yet because of blood relations the opportunity is open to you. Additionally, because of your relations, not much will be expected of you in this career.

Yet you will have to leave all your friends behind and spend the best years of your life (the 20s) in a fun, yet foreign country.

most likely I would take it. in this world it's not what you know, but who you know when getting a job.

I would absolutely do it. But then again, I've always been a fan of living in different places and gaining all sorts of interesting life experiences. Not to mention, the money will :irock:

You can always use your big bucks to come back for visits.
