Hi:

I am currently working for a finance company and my salary is in the mid 50s. Last week I got an email from a Recruiter for a English and Nepali Linguist position  to work as a contractor in Iraq. They are paying 150,000 dollars for one year. And he tells me that I can terminate the contract anytime. It will take me three years to make what I can make at this contracting job in one year. Then in one year I can come back to the US, pay off my debts and maybe even invest in a house. I have talked with few friends about this and they all tell me that this money is not worth going to Iraq. I am so torn. I need your advice. What do you suggest I should do?

ps. I am a Nepali female and I do qualify for the position.
