How crazy would this be?
I'm middle aged, stupidly took voluntary redundancy 7 years ago, thinking that with my experience and qualifications I would find another job.
Hah.
I've had some temp contracts, but I'm not paying into a pension. Covid hit the job market hard and it hasn't really recovered, I'm barely making enough to cover living expenses. This is probably going to get worse, not better.
I have been offered a job in a very dangerous country. I would be living in a compound, but there is always the possibility of being in very real danger.
However, the money is amazing. I could do 3 months there and earn a year's salary.
DH wouldn't be happy, we have been married for years and he is giving me a hard time every day about money.
DCs have finished Uni, are in their early twenties, we've seen them once in the past year.
I've always been independent, I'm not scared and really, what have I got to lose? I'm living a slow, suburban death.
This was never what I wanted for myself. DH has got stuck in his ways as we've got older.
All thoughts appreciated.
