1. 2 year agreement
2. It's a paycut from being an independent contractor in the states
3. Leaving all of my family
4. Wife jealous from all the hot women
5. Eventually, I would pressured to teach more than 16 days a month as I would be the only MCPD there and I'm not the kind of person who likes to work 5 days a week. Just being honest.
6. I would have to leave my house in my home state.

Job security for programmers who are keeping their skills up isn't even an issue. Believe me, unless something really bad happens like a depression, I just don't see that changing anytime in the near future.

Thanks for the heads up, but while I am going for a degree in computer science, I'm not going to be doing a programming concentration...I will be doing at least two programming classes as part of the core curriculum, but my concentration is going to be in information technology. I'm not entirely certain what exactly I want to do career-wise long-term, that's part of the reason I want to take the broader IT concentration so I can get exposure to different areas that I wouldn't get exposure to with the computer science concentration. (I know it sounds redundant, but there actually is a path for a computer science degree with a concentration in computer science! )
