juice, congrats on being a squared away 29 year old: having done six years of service and having $200K in the bank.
When Perry talks about real estate, listen. When Perry talks about personal choices, do not listen.
Take the government job and save the additional $100K. Life in the states is going to be very different in four years. $300K will go a very long way, then. You and your wife will have amazing investment opportunities then.
Actually, I think that it will take five to ten years for the amazing investment opportunities — dirt cheap businesses, homes, commercial real estate — to materialize. Cash will be king, and will be much more valuable than a law degree.
