Ready to Leave NYC!!!!

You are willing to work for 200-500 pesos a day???? You better rethink what you are planning on doing.

One thing you might do is to ask the Dominicans who live near you why they are living in New York City and not back home in the DR. That should explain a lot to you.

I have been immersed in the culture here in NYC and the Dominican people and culture is amazing.

I am going to get beat for this but here goes.........
PLEASE do not mix Dom-York culture with Dominican culture, I spent the summer in Washington Heights and couldn't wait to get the hell out of there and back to Santiago!! I have never heard the word N*gga so much in my whole life and I'm black...and if I hear one more 50 cent song with a reggaeton twist, I am going to jail for murder.............
SHALENA

Yeah.. I generally don't make too much of a habit of agreeing with Shalena here (LOL), but I'm definitely on the same page on this one.. I was in Washington Heights last week for the first time and it was quite a shock.. its quite a different culture to the DR!

Very serious post but it is FUNNY AS HELL. That is sooooo true!!! I slapped a little cousin who called me the N word while casually speaking with me. I know he meant no harm. It was like saying dude or whatever but I guess these kids don't know the true meaning. Uuuugggghhhhh our youths....:ermm:

To the OP...

Please read very carefully to what people on here have to say. The search feature is your best friend on here. This has been covered numerous times.

Just a bit of a note about the population of the Second City of the Dominican Republic, which population (along with the rest of the diaspora) sends home about 12% of the GDP and is the second largest source of foreign currency. While it is true that they may not be the pure Dominican culture that one is used to here on the Island, at more than one million people, they certainly represent a force.

The majority of the immigrants to NYC were single women who worked for the most part at poverty level wages. According to studies done at CCNY, the second generation of Dominicans has registered the HIGHEST level of university graduation of ANY immigrant group in the history of NYC. That means, higher than Puerto Ricans, Irish, and Italians who all came in significant waves before them.

Last year, Dominicans won the Tony Award, the Pultizer Prize and the National Book Award.

So ok, they may have grown up through the ghetto... and I certainly hate Reggeton more every time I hear it.....

But WOW.... What the Dominicans have done in NYC is pretty impressive.... really impressive.... because... well, NYC is a tough place to make it.

And a note to HoffaCorleone

They pay people nothing nothing nothing here... you will therefore make nothing here. The only thing that you can do here is to go into business here. And for that you need a Dominican who needs your skills and the art of finding a Dominican who needs your skills and whom you can trust.... well, Jimmy, Don Corleone.... that... that... is the art form

To the original poster. You need to be in the DR and make person to person contacts for best results. Do a search for call centre and contact any that have posted here but again no one will promise you a position unless you are already there.

Good luck


And so that we don't continue with Dominican history and culture discussion in the employment forum best to close this.
