Ok, try not to stick daggers in me here LOL. Information would be helpful. I'm receiving so many mixed messages with regard to making a good living in DR. When I was in Punta Cana last year several people working in the resort told me I would do very well if I decided to move there (yes I understand several of them make close to nothing). I also have a friend from Santo Domingo who I keep in contact with regularly who says the same. Now, I've read some of the responses to posted messages from people who have earned good degrees and it seems to me that they are being told not to go to DR. That or it's going to be very hard to make a living. Having a BS in biology I would imagine I can go into any pharmaceutical, biotech research etc. company out there willing to hire me. Seems to me it's all about landing that job. The way I'm looking at making a living is being able to pay my bills with around 1/3 of my salary. Is this NOT doable for some reason? I can certainly do it in the states. I am well aware the cost of living is completely different in DR thus so are ones wages...AM I WAY OFF HERE?? I'm under the impression I can make the same living in DR as I can in the states but on a different scale.
