$500 + bonus and overtime pay sound good. Does Laos has overtime pay?

$200 US is the minimum monthly income in any sector if you have a qualification.

I know people who work for the government that earn $200-$300 US per month.

That's right, local people working for foreign companies earn around $500 US per month, they get bonuses too.

Mining company make about $300-$500 million a year. And pay about $100 million in taxes. Wonder why Lao government like them. These number I throw out are estimating. I read them on the news.

Brother that is one of my many ideas because my background is Geology and Seismic/Electromagnetic Geophysics. However, I may need to go back to school for 2 more years so I can get my PhD. Would you join me if I can get it going

?

Enterprise and Development Consultants Co. Ltd, Kerberos Co. Ltd, and CIT Lao Ltd are some firms that offer accounting jobs, but I think they only employ Lao nationals.

All that 'well' money is DANGER money! What happens when the mine collapses? How much are you willing to bet against such circumstances? We just had a mine collapse here in NZ about 6 months ago. Pike river something or other. No one survived. Cry

My friend (has a PhD already in Geophysics) and I are trying to start our own consulting company using the most updated Geophysical tools (shallow seismics, magnetic and electromagnetic) to detect any out of place anomalies (UXOs, underground water table, reservoir, mineral deposits, buried archeological buildings and underground caves and so on.....) below the surface. Since the country in the developing stage, I figure that Laos is the perfect niche for us to be in because they probably need to figure out what is underneath the surface first before they build any infrastuctures (buildings and roads).
