Field of study?
Working in Middle East are good, they don't bother much on the papers, they will see your experience more than the paper.
For the same position you are getting, with paper you may get QR12000(Qatar Riyal), but if you have paper and experience you may be getting QR20000.
Still, working in ME joining O&G companies will have better pay.

I see, still the same, gain experience first and jump to ME.
Or gain experience in ME and jump to another company, but make sure the new company will settle the working visa for you.
Like in Qatar, if the first company never issue you a NOC, you will be barred from entering and work in Qatar for 2 years.
