It's not news that teachers aren't highly paid, but if you're an instructor in South Dakota, you're among the lowest-paid in the nation

No wonder my education was a horrible experience.

my aunt is a geologist and has worked for the same company for probably 30 years now.

she's lived in indonesia, columbia, texas, california...worked for a few months in saudi, russia, norway
but w/ increased technology in remote sensing, this kind of travel might not be as common.

It's a guaranteed way to "vacation" in the Middle East, anyway

I'll say this, though... "IT Guy" is a poor job choice if you want to travel! I might have servers in India and China that I administer, but I doubt that I'll ever see them in person. Hell... I have trouble even getting approval for travel costs to NYC just 60 miles away!
