Given the current politics down there, I am already hesitant to travel 
south. So my personal benchmark is fairly high, and this job handily 
meets that. If I can get down there I will make close to normal month's 
income in 3 days. Given my debt load, this will go a long way (and be 
worth even more when factoring in savings on interest).

My current employer is very cool and is helping me get through the red 
tape, so my hopes are up a modest amount. :)
