need some advise from some level headed people so thought id ask here.
ive been offered a job in the united arab emerates for two years maybe three
the question is should i
1/ turn the job down .
2/ take the job, move me and the family (3 children) abroad for the term of the job and look for somewhere to live when we get back. i live in a rented house at the moment and i am worried about their education as my eldest is doing a IT course at school
3/ take the job and fly home whenever i get the chance dont know how often that will be.
its a close protection job so dont know if i want the family there or not
your thoughts would be helpful steve

A lot would depend on the ages of the children if it were me! I would probably take the job & fly home as & when possible with a view too moving the family if things looked more long-term  |

Wind turbines - away from home alot, but better than staying in the RAF. I had no choice on my final answer. |

Its a toughy but I would go for fly home as and when and make it extra special when im home, as the culture is so different over there( you no what I mean m8, and your family would be safer in my opponion staying hear, but which ever way you decide I wish you all the best
