[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What practice areas are each of you in and how marketable do you expect to be upon your return?  It's a tough market for lawyers depending on practice area and I wouldn't assume you will necessarily be able to get another government job.

I also don't really understand what the adventure refers to.  Will you both be working?

I'm not all that worried about finding jobs upon our return, although I agree that we might not be able to get back into government jobs.  We have a strong network and are both well-respected.  We'd be moving overseas for an amazing job opportunity for my spouse.  We could cover living expenses on what he'd be making.  I would hope to pick up some part-time contract work from friends (who have said they have writing work they'd pass along) to keep my skills fresh and to earn a bit more.  I'd hope not to work more than half-time to spend time experiencing the new country, spending time with our kids and learning the language (I have a beginner level in the language currently.  My husband is fluent.)  The cost of living where we'd be going is much lower, so any work I do would be paid at a disproportionately high rate compared to the cost of living.  [/quote]
