The are certain big transnational companies operating in third world counries with great sucess and require talented people to join them, but these countries many times are in big crisis in all levels or even dangerous ones entering war with their neighbors, where is difficult to raise your children and have a normal life, but for that reason the wages are higher than usual, would you take the chance and move to one of these places?

no, i'd rather be staying here in my country even if my job and salary is just enough for my expenses... better be safe, than sorry... i wouldn't risk my life for a high-paying job, the money is not worth my life...

It all depends on 'how dangerous' and 'how rewarding'! I wouldn't be a truck driver in Iraq, for example. But I've seen jobs in my field in Qatar, I might consider that if the pay was really good. Although generally I'd feel uncomfortable being an American in the Mideast in today's climate.

yes dude, i'm sorry for the ppl who did that. I think those companies should close, because it is a kind of explotation of poor people. They know they are needed and they take advantage of it. But in the bottom the US goverment has the top responsability on that. They say like " If you wanna come here, go to war for us and if ya survive, then you can come here" ... it aint fair..
