I have a friend whose husband works in Siberia for Halliburton. He has 3
secretaries that top one get $300 a month. They are pretty, intelligent
and
very hard worker putting in more hour that they are paid. Because there
are
a thousand more just a pretty, just as smart that will work just as hard
wanting the job. After Africa Siberia is the promised land.
