richard 123 is right - if you come to qatar its doesn't have to be for ever just come back with a view to looking out for pastures new.
you have a good job and lots of friends here...which is a really good foundation to look for somewhere new.

i had to stay in UK to do my studies... i wasn't happy but it gave me the means to leave... it was a bleak year but well worth it now.
