I've been working as rig electrician at a Hungarian drilling company for five years now but six month ago my rig went out to Iraq where some Hun geologist suspect huge amount of gas. Unfortunately (?) I didn't become a member of the final team so I've been there just for the time of rig up, after which I came home. Must admit I was hurt by the situation as the main point of selection was not the expertising of rig but the "in-law relationship". As I don't have any relative at my firm I won my job by a hard English language interview and my (real or imagined  ) knowledge came handy in Iraq a lot of times not just for me but my bosses as well. Okay, came home and took the compulsory rest. Some days after my arriving I got a call from the HR manager who offered me an administrator place and more than 50% salary rise  untill the company buy a new rig where I'll work as usual - electric man. So actually I can work in the country for almost the same money as if I worked in abroad...The big wheel turned one and so much I felt depressed as I'm feeling well now haha... Have you ever felt something like this ?

unfortunately in the last decade because of current political wind , too much money have changed hands.. 
 
and I lost many extra job opportunities just for that reason.. meaning that I loose serious money
