Quality of life will suck at a regional even if you live in base. Pay will be abysmal. If your life is going to be painful for a bit I'd take the $$ assured of the overseas job. I have a couple friends teaching CAS overseas making over $250K while they wait for a major to call.
Yeah, certainly is some good money with the contract job ($120,000 before taxes). Other issues too. Would be tough to manage regional pay for even a year. Wouldn't do it more than two. Wouldn't do the contract thing for more than two either. Then I'll become a Shimpin Boat Capn.
