Well as the title saids I feel like moving to Dominican Republic. Am 19 years old. Working on my Computer technician, with A+ certification. After I finish my courses, my plan is going to Dominican Republic. I already have family over there and all, Also my Parents already have a home located in Tenares. Also I also know a friend of the family who owns a small business and saids he need a computer technician. I would give me a hand in the job.
I would take DR over NYC anyday, It just that new york city I have gotten tired of, and It depressing out here at times. I might look for a change.
But also I am worried that if I choose to move, That I would make a bad choice.
What are your thoughts???
You're
19 and...
tired??? Gawd, when did it start? Any hernias yet? :cheeky:
I remember being 19 and seeing greener grass EVERYWHERE but where I was... you know why? It's not tiredness it's the lack of maturity and a too easy life in developed countries, taking too much for granted.
You want to see 19 year old really tired? You come over here and see all them kids digging, working the streets under the sun, tying to sell some "stuff" on cities' mayor intersections and so forth and making, well let's say "a little less" than what you are making in the US working in an air conditioned office 40 hrs a week, when you're not on paid vacation.
Oh yes, you are a computer technician... let me see, you could assemble computers in one of the many shops around here... how much do you think these kids make here? How many hours do you think they log in each day, each 6-day week? Believe me, they can give you a true definition of feeling tired too.
Or have you saved enough money already so you could start your own little outfit? You want to compete in this already somewhat saturated market, fight the customs (for your elements) and so forth?
You want to make your dream come true without it becoming a nightmare and without the almost certain outlook of having to crawl back to where ever you came from in a year or so, bearing a big VOID in your curriculum? Work your tail off in the US, keep your spending low and SAFE the money and maybe in 10 to 20 years, you will be able to retire here or elsewhere and you may also have experienced what feeling tired really means.
... J-D.
