"contract" is used very loosley in this area. If you were to accept a job like this and descided that you wanted to go home - it is illegal for them to hold you in another country... they are required to get you on the next plane ride home. It's not like being held under a contract as a miltary servicemen... you can quit anytime. The contract just states all the terms of hiring... such as vacation pay, sick leave, salary, potential bonuses and/or end of contract bonuses, and so on...

IMHO - for a new guy out of college this would be an awesome way to get some great experience on the resume and make some good money...
Yet another option. Thanks for the info Warrior, this is something I never even would have thought of.
