Susann,
ReplyDeleteYou are quite correct, those salaries do not look to bad! More than I am currently making, and the jobs seem very interesting to me as well.
I would obviously have to relocate.
I especially like the community out reach worker.
Those salaries make me want to relocate right now. I love the pay and you know what they say. " If you are doing a job your are passionate about it don't seem like you are working".
ReplyDeleteSusann,
ReplyDeleteThe Program Development Youth Officer position seems very interesting because it allows you to work with children and help them to develop life skills that needed to survive. I might just look into that positions, the others are also very interesting especially the salary. Great post!
