Working for the Russians in Afghanistan
Filed under: Industry outlook — Tags: — nedpelger

Looking for construction work? Has the economy not quite rebounded in your locale? Well here’s an opportunity for the not-so-faint-of-heart. The Russian Ambassador to Afghanistan announced yesterday that Russia wants to help with the reconstruction of Afghanistan by restarting over 150 construction projects started during the last Soviet invasion. The Ambassador stated that the highway and factory projects should help strengthen the weak Afghanistan economy.

What could be better than working for the Russians in Afghanistan? You may even get to be part of building the first railroad in Afghanistan. Think Coolies, 1880s, in the American West .

You should buy your plane ticket today. Just showing up and checking out the situation would probably work best. Let me know how that works out for you.

If you need a bit more encouragement, maybe the clip below will help.
