Maybe with the new visa changes, some might be tempted by this gem from the International Job Board ...

ESL in the Green Zone
We are a consulting services company. Our client needs one ESL teacher. We are searching for an adventurous, self-starting, independent person to teach English to Iraqi government servants in a secure environment in the Green Zone in Baghdad. The Green Zone is probably safer than most urban neighborhoods (mostly because you aren�t driving around, and are not subject to auto accidents). Incidents of shelling into the Green Zone are almost non-existent.
You will live and work in a secured compound, with guards and shelters.
Your students are Iraqi government servants. You will have 10-20 contact hours per week, with a flexible schedule, based on students� needs. You are responsible for lesson planning, grading, testing, level assignments, and other administrative issues.
Benefits: Room, board and business class round-trip travel provided, hazard insurance. Salary based on experience, minimum of $7,500 per month.
Requirements: Native American English speaker, U.S. citizen, experience in adult education.
Contract length: 6 months.
Preferred: ESL experience, U.S. military experience, Secret security clearance.
Living Conditions: Shared trailers (one roommate); comfortable but small. Each trailer has its own bathroom. Free laundry machines and supplies. Excellent food service 24 hours a day. Recreation and bar on compound.
If you know someone who is ready to reach the next level in ESL, please contact me immediately.

A poll should go along with this, IMHO. You would get alot of hits. I wouldn't want to get my tits in a ringer and blown up by a bomber.

| It's risky of course but what isn't in life? 6 months work for 50 000 dollars, thats a risk i'd be willing to take no qualms about it. |

There's risk, and there's sheer stupidity. This would fall into the latter category, IMO. |

| I saw that that was a minimum of 7500 a month. With a masters in TESOL and 5+ years experience under your belt you could be commanding 9-10 000 a month, who knows? 6 months on and 6 months in Thailand living like a king. |
