Are all the Overseas Contracting Jobs Closing Down?

With conflicts ending in Iraq and soon to be Afghanistan, you gotta ask yourself, are all the contracting jobs going away? The short answer is no. While it is true, that many of the contracting jobs in Iraq has since closed down for good, some have merely shifted to Afghanistan. Also, there are still aircraft mechanics in Iraq performing maintenance on the Iraqi aircraft.  The real question is, what will happen to all of these contracting jobs when Afghanistan closes down? Personally, I think there will always be a need for aircraft maintenance overseas and frankly, leaving Afghanistan would make me quite happy. I don’t feel the Afghanis deserve or want our help anymore, but now I’m getting side tracked.

There are still lots of opportunities to work on aircraft overseas in war-zone environments.  Mechanics can earn a very good salary and take advantage of big tax breaks by doing this. Also, you can take pride in the fact that you are aiding out military by providing a much needed service.

But are These Jobs A Good Idea?

The best reason to go overseas as an aircraft mechanic is for the money. Yup, plain and simple. There is no faster way to make a 6 figure income especially as an aircraft mechanic. Hell, I know doctors that make less than some aircraft mechanics when you consider all the tax breaks that are available for overseas contractors. Trust me, because I’ve done it. I have worked multiple contracts in multiple countries each time making great money. So much money in fact, that I was able to change my life. Plus, anytime I want to go back and make some great money, I can. My point here is that If I can do it, so can you. Where else can I earn 6 figures without a college degree? Not only is the money to good to pass up, working overseas have these benefits as well;

• Great tax breaks for overseas contractors
• Most contracts provide free food
• Most contracts provide free housing
• Most bases have gyms, movie theaters and PX stores for shopping.

Plus, as an added money saver, you can lower your car insurances because you will not be driving. You will save a ton of money by not buying gas for your car, food or housing. Your whole check can literally get deposited into your account without spending a dime. Now tell me when the last time you were able to do that?

But isn’t it Dangerous?
