Just wondering... What is the minimum wage in the Dominican Republic ? Also.. I hear the police and nurses don't make a lot of money there so I was curious to what professions, if any, do make a lot of money ?

The minimum wage varies according to the size of the business. For large businesses, it is a follows.

The minimum wage has been increased 4 times in the last 4 years, The minimum wage used to be 8,465.00 RD$ back in 2012, it was increased in 2013 from to 9,905.00, then in 2014 to 11,292.00 and now to 13,211.00.

This is in pesos, per month.

As Lindsey pointed out that 13,211 $RD monthly is about $1.85 US per hour for someone working a 40 hour week.

This OP is about what profession this person could train as in thier native land to transfer to DR and make a living, no? Or am I the only one seeing this OP for what it is?

To make it good, you need to have made it good elsewhere previously. You will not go from rags to riches in DR, hell, you will not even go from rags to rags, more like rags to gs.
