If your going to open a business do your homework. Open a business in an area you understand fully. If you love that type of work you will do great. If you just want to make money, find a job. If you want independance, are willing to work hard, and you have a dream then you may be quit successful in business.

I recommend looking beyond KBR. They seem to be hiring a lot of Eastern Europeans and third world folks. Try some of the other companies I recommended and look for job fairs in your area. There are still a lot of jobs in Iraq (although if the peace holds and the troops start to withdraw those will shrink). If you can handle it, look for jobs in Afghanistan, no withdrawl there, should increase contracting as more troops go there. Also look at positions outside what you would normally apply for. Think of your qualifications and what you can bring to a contract, be open to possiblities. Don't give up and keep sending resumes.

People make mistakes, go through bad times in their lives and have baggage they have to work through. If you have communications issues, if both, and I emphesize both parties, want to try and make it work they should. This is a decission of both people involved. Many people don't want to throw away years of marriage, stability, and affection. Not all couples should stay together, but many through counselling and hard work make their marriages work. I for one would want to know what went wrong and try to salvage the relationship I have with my spouse. There is a difference between and indiscretion and a long term relationship. I have been married twenty years and my wife is my best freind. I think I would try to save the relationship. But that is me, with the relationship I have with my spouse. Everyone has different relationships.

Lots of people are working overseas over 60, the oldest that I worked with was 75. I am sorry to take so long to respond but I am currently on contract at Camp Taji, Iraq. I am over 50 and in my office there are several people over 60. People with experience are needed from welders, truck drivers, teachers, administrators, warehouse, food service, accounting, basically the same jobs needed at home but usually for much better money.

Thank you for your nice comment. Charles
