Point taken, thanks for the advice. I actually haven't considered an ME job overseas, didn't know they were paid higher.
Not only you're paid more, but you also get tax breaks and often benefits like housing and car allowance. As far as I know if you are US citizen, unlike most Europeans, you still have to pay taxes in the US even if you live outside the US, but less than if you were home. Of course there may be local taxes, but depending on your contract and the country you work in, your company may pay that for you. The only way for US citizens not to pay US taxes at all is to give up their citizenship.
I work on the oil rigs, currently in Saudi Arabia, as a drilling engineer. I work equal time rotations, 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off (pretty much always have). I have never paid a single cent in taxes, and while I am not going to plaster on the forum how much I make, I can say it is "multiples" of 60k per year, even though I only work half of the time.
I will start off doing exactly this. Deposit online and play shit tons of hands at the micros with PT3. Do you recommend single tabling to learn range and game concepts better, or multitabling to see more hands?
Single tabling is horribly boring and slow except heads up (the only more boring thing I know is to play live full ring cash games in casinos). If you play 6max start with 2-3 tables. If you play FR start with 4-5. Some sites play faster than others (Full Tilt is noticeably faster than Party Poker for example).
