I'm seeking advice regarding the simplest way to get a job as an expat in Saudi Arabia. I have no education other than the equivalence of a high school diploma, and what I seek is advice regarding what the easiest and fastest way for me to become an expat in Saudi Arabia might be.
I'm capable of getting a bachelor, but seeing as how I'd like to move within the next two years, it might be difficult for me to complete a bachelor's degree in time. Also, I have no idea what kind of degree would be best for me to get regarding getting a job there.
Maybe a job that doesn't require such a lengthy education could be possible?
What jobs would be easy for me to get in Saudi Arabia as a female? In which positions are foreigners wanted? English is technically my second language, but I consider it my primary language and speak it fluently with a generic North American accent.
Also, what other options are there for me regarding moving to Saudi Arabia? Let's say I have a partner willing to become my husband, but isn't in any position of decision making within his family. Is rushing through an education to get a job my best option?
Thank you.
