Thanks for all the replies. The situation is this-my neighbor was telling me if I like the DR so much I should move there and get a job.
I told her that is kind of the opposite of what we are here for-I mean lets' face it, as people who were not born in the US were are basically economic refugees looking for better-paying jobs and to expand our educations.
Some do and some don't, and this is what I told her-
If I could apply online to a hotel and get a job paying me that much money without anyone knowing me in a sector where I have no experience and/or desire work, then what the hell are YOU doing here?
Why don't YOU go back to your country and work in a hotel if its' like that?
Because its' NOT like that and we all know this. Now, of course I didn't come across as rude as I am stating it here, but you guys get the point. I was very diplomatic but I was also quite direct.
But for some reason she seemed pretty adamant about trying to convince me otherwise.
I dated a chica who worked as a hostess in a hotel in Bavaro and she made absolutely crap money(somewhere between 6-8,000 pesos monthly) and had to work 12 hours a day.
But like I said the super is one of the biggest liars I have ever met in my life and so are his kids. But it just surprises me that my neighbor, who is from the island, would believe this. Now I have proof.
Thanks again everyone.
