Moving to DR for school!
Mirador,
In the US different states have different rules as to what constitutes a 'classic'. Having said that I sometimes wonder why there are no 'classic' cars in the DR. Of course there could be but in my 9 years here I've never seen any. I don't get around like a person such as yourself so it could just be a case of little experience on my part.

Rentals are really very reasonable still. I do not know of any loans that you can get where you only pay the interest. Interest rates here are very high, so, it is not a good idea to borrow money.

Actually I think it is 20 years. I had a classic once: a 1980 Toyota Corolla station wagon in mint condition. In other words, I drove a publico! Down here they are like the "cepillos" -- no one wants them. In NYC, however, I was constantly being offered money for the thing. In fact I sold it at a profit.
It depends. Whether you work in the public or private sector. A government employed physician will make around RD$ 30,000 a month. That is relatively little more than other government employees with much less education or responsibility. They have had to resort to strikes to reach this level. A physician in private practice will make more, but will not be on relative economic scale a physician in the US will be. Private physicians in the DR can earn an upper middle class income. They are usually not the high-end earners that their US counterparts are.elly said:
Well that excludes the politicians and businesses which depend on government contracts. The legitimate high-end earners in the DR are successful self-employed businessman, upper management of large corporations, lawyers in large firms, commissioned salespeople of big ticket items, etc. Many fields will have its stars making the big bucks while others in the same field are starving.
Medical School? why am I even bothering to help you?
No self respecting school would accept you for a medical degree program in Spanish unless you can prove proficiency in that language. Therefore, either you have applied to one of the degree mills, OR
you are going to one of the two places here that offer medical degrees in English: Unibe and Utesa. I do not think Utesa is recognized by the California Medical board, so it would have to be Unibe for you. So you don't really need Spanish.
Don't sweat it.
