Visiting the World, as a Geek?

Posted by Cliff on from the globe-trotting dept.

Han Onymous asks: "In nine months my contract as a research assistent at my Alma Mater will come to an end. It will not be renewed, I don't want it to be anyway. But outside the economy is too ill to welcome me. I am young. I am healthy. And I want to see the world before I've got the wife and the kids and the double mortgage. I have no money saved, and I don't plan to save some until then. What can a skillful geek (electrical, electronical and software engineer, speaks three languages fluently) like me do to see the world. Volunteer ? Working for a multinational with exchange programs? Something with no connection at all to the tech world? Please share your experience."

    Travel to exciting distant lands. Meet exotic, interesting people. And kill them. (But only on weekends).

    "save" $10-20K from your pay by buying everything on credit cards, use that as a down payment on a 2-4 unit apartment building, then travel off the residual income. If you have good credit and a job you can surely get $20K or so in unsecured credit at 9.9% or lower (and probably 0-2% for the first 6 months).

    Out of curiousity, why is this modded funny? The military is a great option. They even pay for college, but its a little too late for that.
