Help on moving

Nov

First of all, thank you all for the great information I have found on this site. My dad and his wife are moving to Ecuador soon and have been talking to me about moving down there. I am going to school full time to become a teacher. I graduate in two years. I am single with no kids. I would appreciate any suggestions on getting work in Ecuador. I have a disability pension of about $1300 a month. Thanx ahead of time.

Answer #1

Being single you can live quite well on that amount of money. Are you planning on going to school here to finish your degree? That would be a great thing to do if you speak Spanish, if not it will be more difficult in my opinion. Ecuador is a wonderfully diverse country. Getting a teaching job here is not hard if you want to teach English from what I have heard. Other jobs are more difficult for a foreigner to get, but hopefully someone on this forum has had some experience in getting a job and will join in the conversation.
I wish you all the best.
Where is your dad moving to?

Answer #2

Hey,

In my opinion jobs arent that hard to get in Ecuador if you’re OK with accepting a little less money than you would in the States.

My recommendation is to take a few months to learn Spanish though as this will open your options up much broader than just teaching English…unless thats what you want to do.

good luck, Dom

Answer #3

Thanx for the answers. My dad is moving to cuenca in 2013. I will be taking two semesters of spanish in college. I am looking for someplace nice and warm, but not too humid. I am coming from phoenix, with little humidity. Also, not to be rude, but someplace with a little bit of the nightlife as I am single but don’t plan on staying that way. Thanx again for the help!
