I need someone to walk next to with a sign saying "NO I DON'T NEED A DAMN RIDE, I AM PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF WALKING TWO BLOCKS". In Spanish, of course.

I pay in Presidente and companionship.

Unless you are assigned to the DR for the sakes of your job from abroad then there are no jobs out there for gringos to walk into, anywhere, never mind the touristy areas of the Island. No doubt there are some, but I have never come across anyone ever who has found a living wage job from the ads in DR. And being as the thread is so vague 'any jobs, not call centre' I am guessing you do not have a strong education or a trade or specific profession, and so call centre is the cream for people like this the world over, not just the DR.

If 7000 to 10,000 pesos is all someone can expect to earn, how difficult would it be to give English lessons to a group? They could each pay a pittance and it may easily surpass the 7000 mark.

I know this sounds like a great idea but in reality people often do not show up on time
or show up at all for the lessons. They will also want to ?pay later?which will end up causing you
more headaches than it is worth.

Not to mention that just because you SPEAK a language doesn't mean you can TEACH that language.

I know a few good hearted folks on the north coast who tried teaching small groups of people english. They are no longer trying.

So frustrating because it is a ticket to a better life. The job opportunities open up exponentially with the ability to speak English.

I offered to help my maid's adult daughter with her English. For free. Since she wants to be a bartender at a resort. But she never showed up for the lessons.
The only time I saw any enthusiasm from her was when I bought her a used purse at la pulga. Then I stopped having her clean because she was incredibly bad at it, and lazy.
And now she just WhatsApp's me asking for money because she is "necesitada". :-/
