I will be starting a program here in Canada for Paralegal and I just wanted to know what the salary in DR for future references.
My dream is to become a nurse but I am not sure how much nurses make down there or if I can live off of the pay. Also, I was wondering if english teachers make more than nurses in the DR. Does anyone know how much nurses or english teachers make? I am fluent in english and spanish if that helps. Also if these careers do not provide a survivable pay, what career can i go into that will allow me to live comfortably in the DR?
I hope this doesn't come across as judgemental because I know you are young and starting your life and are free to choose any path you want...its just observation & advice.
Just reading your posts in the last few months it seems like you are willing to give up your dreams and do whatever job will make you some money so you can live in the DR with your husband.
If you are preparing to submit your husbands PR application, why are you sacrificing your dream to be a nurse? He will be in Canada soon enough...
I know it feels like an eternity to wait out the processing time but it is important to think about what you want for your future together. A nursing career in Canada is extremely different from a job as a paralegal.
Why not save the money you are about to spend on school again, get a job as a nurse and start making money/saving for your future.
My husband has been in Canada now for 11 months. We focused on getting him settled and into a good job right away so that we could save. We have worked really hard & just bought our first house from savings we have accumulated in the last year.
If you really want to have a successful Canadian/Dominican relationship then don't throw away your career, your money or your future living in a place you can't earn a decent living. It might work out for the short term but what about 5, 10, 30 years from now?
Our goal far ahead in the future would be to live in both places....it isn't even close to being a reality right now.
You have to do what is best for both of your futures and your relationship....you just shouldn't have to give everything up to do it. If you do, you will probably resent it at some point.
