Empire4 has a point but let's not give up the aviation career just yet. Lots of people young and old have gone overseas to carriers like Etihad, Qatar and Emirates etc and have actually enjoyed the opportunity to work there. Unless you want to be the last man standing then give the expat job a chance. I've worked overseas for over 20 years and love it. That's just me though so go and see it for yourself. Can always say "no".
