My husband's first paycheck in 1980 from ARAMCO was $5,000.00/month. He was a mechanical engineer who made $800.00/month here at the time, after taxes.
*****Being an ARAMCO employee ALSO meant paying NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX. Wowsa.
With the foreign-earned income tax exclusion - jobs like this are serious savings and wealth builders.
How does on go about applying for these jobs; anyone know?
High salary's go hand in hand with danger and unpleasant job conditions.
If the conditions were easy and your biggest danger is a paper cut the salary is generally much lower.
