a process engineer and a chemical engineer are more or less the same thing, but the job title varies depending on the country and/or industry you are in. i work for an engineering design and contracting company in Australia. we mainly work on the design and construction for the oil and gas industry, and several general and specialty chemical industries.

well, there's an aussie engineering company who has partnered with a US firm to start rebuilding in Iraq (bridges, oil refineries, and so forth) but they can't get anyone to go - even with 125% uplift i.e. current salary x 2.25. coupled with the other recent terrorist incidents in that region, it's a might too dangerous over there just now.

@gelfen - Ohhhh, now I see . . . I thought that you were pertaining of not going in my country ??? With all the ongoing - killing incidents in Iraq, I am quite sure that less investors will be diverting their coffers there . . . might just result to 'coffins' ! |

Suffice to say that I've crossed Iraq off my 'potential holiday destinations' list!
@jojo - You got any more garbage for me?  Mind you, if you ask any of my friends they'd say that I talk garbage!

@jojo - Glad you like the T-shirt! 
@Gelfen - just to rub it in, it's been about 25C today, and been even hotter the last couple of days! Lots of sun, which is unusual for the UK.
Hey, we're only about 3 post off this thread becoming a 'flaming' one!

oooh quick add a few more then!
@sammy: well, you could do with some sun over there
i actually don't mind melbourne winters too much since it is rarely seriously cold. i personally don't like the heat (could be psycho-sematic from my years working as a pool lifeguard! )
