There are other ways but it's very rare. I used to think the only women who work here are nurses, but I recently saw half a busload of Filipinas watching a basketball game, and I heard they didn't work at a hospital, which means they worked at one of the factories at the industrial area. There is hope, but you probably should make sure you have a job waiting here before you leave, because I think Saudi law requires that foreign nationals be hired through agencies in the foreign country.
