I used to be friends with someone who got a job with Boeing and is now stationed in Qatar negotiating a sale of tankers.
Also, my Grandfather worked for GTE Telecom in the 1970's and ended up spending three years in Iran for them. He then went to work for Ingersoll-Rand and did two years in Saudi Arabia.
