I left Costa Rica yesterday. The capital and some of the main tourist areas seem to be thriving. Compared to 12 years ago when I was in Costa Rica last, economically things seem to be really on the up and up. I also saw evidence of a 'green' culture developing with markets becoming more popular. Why would you want to leave Costa Rica for a job in the Dominican Republic?

Hi Chris! To answer your question... I fall in love with a dominican... and since he is still finishing his career I decided to move here until he is done. I love my country with all my heart and I miss every single thing about it, but God and love brought me to the DR and I will do my best to get used to it and most importantly, to keep progressing in my career.
Any input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hey Chris what are the prospects for an American with very marginal Spanish skills, graduating with a degree in history, but has an extensive background in sales? Just putting out a feeler. Thanks!

coldbrewski, learn the language. Go to classes even now. The prospects may be grim for history and sales in English, but they increase magically in you put Spanish skills into the mix.

Venus, the prospects for yourself and your Dominican may be brighter in your own country. Perhaps not, but Costa Rica really impressed me at my last visit.

Hi Chris!
I know I have better opportunities in my own country. However, I am here for the next year AT LEAST, so I need to get something anyways.

Coldbrewski,
Learning to speak spanish is not that complicated, however you will find some difficulties while learning how to write, the best thing to do is finding a local friend who understands english and can translate things for you and help you get acquainted.
Also, there are several schools that cater to americans with economic packages that will help you learn the language and improve your writting/reading skills as well, I can recommend INTENSA in San Pedro. If you don´t understand or can read spanish, there is no way in hell you can get a degree in history, specially on a career that involves so much reading.

Best regards,
Venus
