Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, stands at 2, 717 feet over the city of Dubai. The building, which cost about 1.5 billion dollars to construct, is a testament to this nation’s growing wealth and ambition. The entire Middle East shares in this booming growth, which has created an impressive and thriving job market that, just like the oil drills that dot the Persian Gulf, is well able to reward those who tap it.

Gulf jobs abound in many industries. More people than ever are visiting and buying homes in the Middle East, especially in Dubai, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, opening up opportunities for real estate agents, property managers, and those trained in hospitality, including hotel and restaurant managers. You could make it all the way to the top and become a landlord in the Burj Khalifa, which has about 900 apartments.

If you’d like to work at this fantastic building but you’re a little more hands-on, sign up to be a window washer. The building is outfitted with a special track for cleaning the windows below floor 110. After that, it’s a thrill a minute. If you’re at the top of your window-washing game, maybe you’ll be allowed to hang from a rope to make sure the building’s pinnacle is in tip-top shape.

If you’re more interested in helping the wealth grow than seeing what it’s spent on, there are a plethora of financial jobs in the Gulf. Auditors, financial managers, accountants, and bankers are needed to safeguard and manage the assets of some of the world’s richest people. You could become one of them: if you have enough experience and training, you can start your life in the Middle East with a six-figure salary. You’ll have to catch one of the window washers outside of your office window to find out how much he makes.
