Please provide your input and your thoughts. I have a friend that is a diesel mechanic. He has mainly worked with really big engines, done it for 20+ years and has had his own business in his home country. He was down here for almost a year (north coast), living on savings. While here was here he fixed some plantas and a diesel jeep for friends. The people were very happy with his work. He borrowed/rented his tools.
Now here is the question.
He would like to move down here but need to work. I told him that he could make a living here, there are people that would like to have a reliable English speaking diesel mechanic, for fixing there plantas...(I am not talking about plantas in car washes, let them wear out... ) He is the worrying kind, and he needs to invest around 15 000 US for the tools etc. so he is in doubt. I have another friend that is an electrician and people have appreciated his work and been willing to pay a little extra for a guy that knows the purpose of the green and yellow cable...., and this is one of the reasons why I think that my diesel-mechanic-friend could make a living here.
What do YOU guys think? Your input very much appreciated. If your answer is yes we might have a new expat here...
