So what's the real deal on unemployment in the DR? I'm still in contact with my DR chica. Still friends...she wants more but I don't see the point. Still talk lot's and would help her with a visitor visa but she was declined last time and i was told not to bother reapplying until something signifigant had changed...meaning her having a good job, $$$ in the bank, owning a home, etc. etc.
I'm not giving $$$ for the bank, or buying a home and she still doesn't have a job. She says she's been looking...pero no le creo. Is it that hard to find something there? She's smart really smart and I don't buy the whole thing. Again, there's some communication break-down but she seems to be really fussy about what she'd do which sounds weird when you're super broke with a young daughter.
She's lived all over the island doing different things but always ends up back at the campo eventually. I get the impression that there you're expected to help out but she doesn't have to work there b/c there's no prospect for a job there. Going there seems to be her thing to do to keep from having to work??? It seems like a real lack of ambition but maybe its dealing with tough realities?
What's the dealio DR dudes...? is it really hard for a young women to get a job there?
