We are wanting to give our 4 children (ages 9-18) an experience to live in another country and have fallen in love with Aqaba, Jordan. We have no idea if we can make this work and would love any information or ideas you can send our way. We do not know Arabic but could learn - but mainly we are seeking jobs! My husband is a refrigeration engineer and I have an Elementary Education degree. We all have farming experience as well. We also owned our own Bed & Breakfast for years. My oldest son has welding certificate/experience and is getting a class A driving license. Can anyone help our family make a dream come true or is this an impossible task for a middle class American family?

Hi
I think it is very doable. There is an International School which would love to have as a teacher. As for your husband and son I believe it will be easy to find a job working as private cotractors or joining a private business
such hotels, port authority or construction/ mechanical contractors. Good luck.

Thanks Andrew, Would you know of a technical recruiting firm dealing with mechanical engineers(refrigeration specialty) that I could contact? I appreciate any leads. I am approaching this from the US also.

There are several professional recruiting firms here in Jordan. I can't recall the names now, but you could google them easy. Good luck.
