Hello!
My sister and I have been offered jobs teaching at one of the private schools in SD. Our combined salary per month will be RD$ 76,000, or approx. $2000 CAD. Also included in the offer is: paid shared housing (what might this mean?? I will be talking to the employer soon, but I am curious) + utilities, local health insurance (what would this include? any ideas?) and transportation to and from work. Do you feel that this is a fair wage being that we are experienced and specialized teachers? If so, do you think living off RD$ 76,000 will allow for a comfortable lifestyle and the opportunity to travel around the island a bit, being that we are left to cover food, entertainment, transportation (outside of work), and cable/phone/internet costs?
Basically, we are just looking to hear from people who are knowledgeable about costs associated with living in SD.
Thanks in advance for the help!
