Thanks everyone for the feedback.

After reading all the comments and considering the facts, it looks like unless the school fees are covered, I am going to take a financial hit if I take this offer.

Especially the comment by 'mozaismyhero' hit it home the fact that whether I am really that desperate to move to Qatar and started me thinking in that direction. Until now I was caught up by the excitement of this new opportunity but without really thinking at what cost.

I will talk to the HR and see what they come back with and then I will take it from there and keep you posted.

Thanks again.
