[quote=Anonymous]As the wife (and also a federal employee), I do not think the benefits are that great. It is extremely difficult for spouses to find work overseas. In modern America, both adults have to work and if they don't, it's easy to slip in earnings. That's the biggest hardship many families face. Also, most overseas private sector jobs pay significantly higher. My parents lived overseas with my dad's company and they received much higher salaries than FSO officers and his company paid for much more (for example his mortgage was paid while they lived overseas and they also received free housing).[/quote]
