Hi, I'm 26 soon to be 27, currently running a business restoring classic and sports cars, come from an engineering background, only uni degree is in Animal management rolleyes yeah I know......

Can do anything practical, no criminal record, extremely hard working, honest, and like to work hard for good wages.

Is there anything out there that would fit? I'm really looking at ways out of this god forsaken country and working out in the middle east is one of them.

Kind regards

Oliver

Ok ok it was a mistake. All I have to say was Engineering 90% male 10% female. Law 60% male 40% female. Animal management, science and zoology 2% Male 98% female! Oh and an equine block next door when you ran out hehe

I knew the qualifications would be a stumbling block, I'll be honest when I say that the main attractions to saudi are the money and the heat, but as you say without the right qualifications your up against a lot of cheaper labour, is there anything out there that can employ British who are "handy" even manual or unpleasant jobs?

Thanks Rob, I think the difficulty is I can't see me moving to any Middle eastern country and setting up shop there, so it would literally be moving out to work for someone else, if there isn't going to be an application for my skills then it all but negates any chance of a move, with the best will in the world unless I could find a management job to use my degree for then it doesn't look promising, I don't want to work with animals in this country never mind elsewhere.
