Adventerous or Crazy?

[GAsux]

Yesterday I became aware of a job opportunity that I hadn't previously considered and have been thinking about a lot ever since.

In my line of work, I actually have the potential to apply for a position in Tel Aviv working in an embassy. In my head, it actually seems like an amazing opportunity. I have spent a significant amount of time overseas in the past few years. There are very few opportunities in my business to work in a place like that.

I fully understand that nature of the location and the risks associated, but they don't seem that daunting to me. I would not be able to go until roughly 2005 or 2006 when my current position "expires" so to speak. Regardless, in my head, despite the negatives associated with such a move, it seems for better or worse like a unique opportunity to get a first hand account and look at what's happening there.

Does this sound crazy? The few people I've mentioned it too all seem to think I am out of my mind for even thinking about taking a job anywhere in the region, much less Israel. Im just curious to hear from someone else's point of view if my desire to go there is irrational.
