What do most trailing spouses do in Doha?

- Is it easy to find a small paying job in Doha? (Background in executive Recruiting in Europe/Asia, trading, master 5 languages)or should I prepare myself on becoming a full-time housewife and enjoying unlimited salon & mall time?

- Is it extra hard to meet other women if you don't have children (since you won't be going to school functions etc)?

- Can you get around town easy with English, or is it a huge advantage if you were able to speak basic conversational Arabic?
