Taking a Job as a Personal Advisor to 1 of the Wealthiest Men in the World

[JCMach1]

Most of you guys know I got the job teaching University here in the UAE two years back. However, life is often very strange.

I recently have had the one of the most powerful and wealthy families in the Middle East in my class (not house of Saud by the way. I was asked by his main personal advisor and chaperone to join the household and work as a personal advisor to the young Sheikh (talk about influencing hearts and minds).

The salary details will be outstanding, but I will also be keeping my University job as well. :)

Anyway, there will be a DUer in the palace.

I will be expecting the call from the CIA any day... :)

1. WOW.

Umm..wow.
Be careful; culture shock and all.
Congrats!

[JCMach1]

2. Not culture shock... I have been here long enough not

to have that any more.

It's just a very cool thing to happen.

3. Do you have to move? Are you happy where you are already?

If all that wonderful stuff happens and you don't have to pull up roots, so much the better! Cheers! :party:

I love that, "There will be a DUer in the palace!" :hi:

[JCMach1]

5. No move involved... I have been here for 3 years

as an economic exile from the Bush economy...

[catzies]

14. Congratulations on all your new good fortune! Be well and happy and safe

and, um, live long and prosper? :P

[LynzM]

10. Wow, dude!

Congrats to you. What a story... DUers *are* everywhere! LOL

[hickman1937]

11. You know of course that Agent Bob read this.

Probably already passed it on to the CIA.:tinfoilhat: :P

[JCMach1]

12. Hey, as long as they pay me well...

Got that Bob!!!

[SoCalDem]

19. Where did Agent Mike go?? Is Bob his replacement?

What's his DUname?? Not_the_CIA ??

[Lydia Leftcoast]

13. Isn't it strange, the turns one's life takes?

Congratulations! :toast:

[barb162]

16. I love it! Sounds great

[SoCalDem]

20. Excellllllent !!

The CIA probably already knows :)

[Liberal In Texas]

21. No, the Sauds and the Bushs are big buds.

You are no more a sell-out than I was working for FOX News.

(But I'm not doing it anymore.)

[clyrc]

22. It's not the House of Saud!

The rulers of the UAE are very different.

The one drawback for me as JC's wife is that he will probably be gone a lot more now, and spending the extra money can get you only so far. I imagine I will get to do even more volunteer work now, which is what I like to do.

[Wetzelbill]

23. see if you can get some chump change so I can pay off my student loans

:)

So when can I come visit? Serious, I'll do it. :)

[redqueen]

26. Wow!

Congratulations!

:toast:

And good luck!

We have one inside the walls repeat....

Wow that really sounds great.
