Wizofoz, It is nice to hear from someone who understand the Arabic culture. Your point about how the world is changing and how the change is coming to our part of the world, is absolutely right, but isn't it time for us to change too?
And yes, a desk job would be very stable for, but I'm afraid it would be TOO stable, another thing is that the desk job description is unknown! What will it be? No one knows! What will we do? No idea! So taking the desk job is a big risk too, I might hate my self for taking the desk job after some time, cos there is a good chance that they wont know what to do with us and we will end up doing nothing! Just sitting at a desk all day long.
