For the next one year, she has been working on a project in Indonesia. Lives in a 5-star hotel, flies home every weekend. If she doesn't want to return home, she can use the same budget to travel Indonesia. Ka-ching!

Tough life isn't it. But someone's got to do it.
whats her background?

I am guessing the following.

1) She has good honors, probably first class.
2) She faced alot of competition for that position and fortunately she got it.
3) She is good looking.
4) She most likely studied Business Administration.

From what I know, its really really really difficult to get into this business, even more so than banking (discounting the IB ones)
