sure, if

o you don't mind being treated with disrespect

o you want to live in the lower economic stratum.

o you don't want vacations that require money

o you don't mind moving at unpredictable times

o you don't want a wife and kids (if you're a guy). No woman 
who wants a family will want to live and raise kids living 
in your lifestyle.

o you don't want your kids to get as good an education
as you had

o you don't want to contribute to a retirement fund

o you don't mind watching the people you work for being paid 
lots of money, having stable jobs, going on vacations where 
and when they want, living in the same house all their life 
and owning it, driving cars that don't break down and going 
home at 5pm.

> Surely the wages are at least livable

absolutely. They're approved by the US govt. We love having 
smart people like you applying for jobs, people who are 
passionate about your work. Step in here.
