Kisha,
why not look on Elance, I don't know what skills you have, but you can be self employed working from home if you have a computer and head phones if required. I believe they charge about $15.00 US or so to join, than you can bid on posted jobs that match your skills. If you win the bid, you get the job. This all depends on what you can do...Web Design, Data Entry, Telemarketing, etc..Some of these jobs pay very well..100,000 over 2-3 Years of work. Some jobs do not require a w-9 for tax, so the money is clear, but i would always file to be safe. Also, being here in the DR, you don't need that much. You can live real well on $200.00 a week, that's almost 30,000 peso's.. Just a thought...
