Sure. Consider a job that is seasonally based and/or has natural pauses (such as teaching, tax prep, or something linked to tourism), or is largely contract or task-based (construction, transportation, consulting, writing copy, design, etc). I'm not sure what you're trained in, but think creatively in that field. There are always people paid to do more than punch a clock.
Anyway, live modestly from that first world job, and take the savings to live in DR. It is not easy, and will require sacrifices, but when you consider that most starting public school teachers in Georgia make almost 10 times as much as DR counterparts, you can see the benefits to earning in one place and living in another.
That said, my advice would be to return home, get a "day" job, and in the evenings learn skills that allow you to work from your computer (like medical transcription or web-work). Then move back when you have some independent financial stability.
Don't worry, they're not moving or shutting down the island. Everything you like about the island will still be here when you return. :glasses:
