two thoughts: First it's illegal for you to work in the country under a tourist visa, so any jobs you find are going to be under the table and no protections from greed or graft (like in not getting paid). Some of the "call centers" hire with the understanding that you will have your Cedula within 6 months, they pay Native English Speakers $120/hour ($4.00/hr) x 8 hour shifts (that's RD28,800/mon or $US 847/mon). I highly doubt you'll ever get $1000/mon legally.
Assuming you are a Dominican Citizen since your family has a house and your father lives in the Zone, you are still faced with the low salaries that are typically paid. One friend I met worked at a large department store, small pay, and typically fired at day 89 of employment. He could reapply in a couple of months but not right away. This way the company (Plaza Lama) didn't have to pay into government coffers, taxes, etc, for a "full time employee".
Good luck
