Thanks,
The thing is this.
Im a Hungarian designer living in Mexico since 2003. Im 27 now.
Last time when I had to look for work, I found one here in 2 weeks.
I have seven years of experience, fluent spanish, fluent english... although the last one doesnt really counts there I guess. Here either.
So. I got in touch with some designers there, and they got me a list of good places to work in santo domingo. They also said, EXPERIENCE is very important , so I think those wanna be ones only can get to the wanna be design firms... the better ones look for somebody with experience.
shame, shame, shame but they also say, it helps to be foreigner.
The other thing: dominicans tell me usually that with 500 USD i live a normal decent life in Santo domingo. It gave me some comfort. Now I read that If I want to eat good Ill spend 50USD in a restaurant???? well...it has to be high end.
