Indonesia, South America and Africa mainly.

That sounds like a plan. I'm not as high as I can be but honestly don't want to be any higher than I am. When I was in the business of trying to make a name for myself it was due to money and the respect that came with the position. We currently have an open position for plant manager here and I don't want anyone knowing I'm qualified for it. It is more money but those in management positions here are in debt and need that money....I don't. I never want to be in a position where I hate my job but feel stuck because I'm in over my head in debt. Since society flip flopped a few years ago, management positions are no longer held in high regard. All the power is in the hands of the mindless sheep who are nothing more than a warm body.
My game plan at this point is to ride this out for another couple of years, stuff as much money in the bank as I can, sell my house and move somewhere that I can enjoy the rest of my life.
