You deserve another answer...
Hindsight is wonderful. This is a bit of a rant....sorry.
When I was in my 20s, all I wanted was the opportunity to do something positive in the DR. Farming, teaching, whatever.
As I entered the 30s and 40s I realized that my own children were growing up free, well bred, and well educated, and that I really had not done that much contributing to their success. Well, except for the fact that I was there; that my job and my lifestyle permitted me and my wife to be there for them.
I cannot imagine a nicer place to bring up children.
There is a great work environment, if you have 'saleable' skills.. Oh, don't pay attention to the problems with the lights, the water or the garbage..those are superficials, what really makes it all come together are the people.
}From what I can see of the society in the States, I am afraid that I could not go there on a permanent basis. Why yesterday, a 13 year old was sent home from school for disciplinary reasons. He went home, got a pistol and went back and killed his teacher!! That is insanity. Of course there was no one home when he got there to ask what he was doing home so early.If this had happened to me, way way back when, I would have been tanned and my mother would have taken me back to find out what was the matter..New World out there...{
Why Move? Because it is very close to being the best place on the face of the earth to have a family, educate your kids and make a living, all the while enjoying every minute of your existance-come what may..
