Anyone here ever do sysadmin/infosec contracts overseas? In Afghanistan, Kuwait, etc or Africa perhaps. You can make 90-150k for one year I'm told. Im about to graduate and may try to do it for a year or two. I really need to find a place that will get me secret clearance.

If you are worth your salt you already earn that in Europe or the US no need to touch those shit holes of humanity with a 10foot pole

you won't have trouble getting that-provided you don't have felonies, they're handed out like candy. Understand the onus is on you to maintain it. in other words you don't need to travel to the asscrack of the world to get one.
jobwise, you're better off trying to get a stateside contract and shoehorn your way into a comfy position, making more or the same amount you asked about, like the RHEL sysadmins i would see on the ship.

Nice. I'm confident I could pull a comfy job here in the states with my resume and I will probably get a job offer from my current part time employer when I do graduate but I was looking to go into the thick of it for a year. I live in LCOL area (southeast US) so that 100k would go super far and wipe out the 15k student loans and buy me a new car with ease.

Information Systems but I have put a good bit of focus on infosec.

You don't need a degree to become a sysadmin. Are you high?
>>
>>62122085
I understand that. But I would be fine with sysadmin being overseas to increase the job options. Here in the states I wouldn't think of it.

How deep in the rabbit hole?

Why do you want to work as a sysadmin with a degree tho

mostly blue team stuff. I'm on my colleges cybsec team and we placed pretty high last year at the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition. no reverse engineering or anything mostly just network security. I think I may go back to school in a few years for an MBA and try to go into a more management type role. I enjoy creating policies and procedures for companies.
