Pure semantics. Just because they aren't doing so directly . . .


Apparently you don't fully realize that experience in some rather specialized jobs (or even with specific companies) don't always transfer as readily as you'd like to think. Or stopped to consider the potential economics of moving a household and everything in it to a different location where you'd simply move back up the same path a little.

Understand that living the life of a "Have Gun, Will Travel" road warrior touching base back at home once or twice a month isn't for everyone - the emotional and potential financial costs there can easily exceed one year's salary. Don't believe me? Then ask anybody who's been divorced over it.
