To all of the posters who managed to tell me that I'm not competitive without a college degree in a normal manner, thankyou, that's the kind of information I was looking for. Silly comments & pictures in reply posts aren't really called for (& disappointing if coming from professionals).

For those asking where I work, it's in PNG. If you're unsure where that is, google it.
Why do I want to leave, well, anyone who's spent any considerable amount of time in a 3rd world country without being part of the military or diplomatic corp will understand why. Like most people, I want to move on career wise to something bigger & better.

Enjoy.
