Not $55,000 per year. No skilled job pays that little any more, does it? $55.00 per hour isn’t too bad I suppose, but you can get that just about anywhere too with the right skill set without going to Abu Dhabi.
$55 x 40 = $2,200
$2,200 x 52 = $114,400
No income tax (IIRC) in the UAE
If there’s a way around paying the IRS then it’s pure profit.
And if free housing is part of the deal then it’s even better.
But,of course,the sadness of a little girl is very,very important.
