Good luck Dave - I'm sure you'll do well mate. No1 Son went to live in the USA 5+ years ago after 'meeting' a girl from there on the 'net. (How do you do that? rub your meeces on the screen or what?
) Anyway he's now married and is Senior Network Administrator for a huge IT firm out there following a few rapid promotions.
Just be aware that the rewards are out there, but they expect their pound of flesh, and everyone accepts huge travelling distances as the norm which means a long day at work.
