Finally - Employed
« on: March 09, 2012, 05:24:12 PM »
Sorry, gotta put this up. Just been offered an IT Job on the 29 Palms Marine Base - been looking since my wife and I moved over in July '10.

Talk about relieved.

Why would you move somewhere with no job prospects?  Just curious for the motives in something that I wouldn't do...

Had a well paying job in the UK (top 5% kinda deal), but wife wanted to move to be closer to her Father - who lives in 29 Palms (well, just outside to be more accurate), so we saved, got the visa's etc, and moved. Sold the house in the UK and made a bit of money - plus have my UK forces pension (medical discharge, so no tax in the UK or US)

It was a bit of bad planning on my part on the job front, but started my own business (mobile computer repair etc) to make a bit of money and give me something to do. Also started a band, and we're gigging every week or so, so that gives me more things to do too.

Neither of us were happy in the UK, wife got a lot of grief from neighbours/random people, purely for being American - which disimpressed me etc, so quality of life wasn't there. Since moving here, I've got some excellent friends, and now have a job with promotion prospects etc - so all is good.

Good question tho Sluggish.
