Moving and working in Colombia

[AlwaysDevoted]

I am making my first trip to Colombia in June. You can read in my introductions what I had to say there so I don't have to type all that again. My question is, if I decide that I really like it there and want to try living there for awhile, how do I even go about finding work, place to live, and all the necessary documentation that goes along with it?

It is hard enough for people looking for a job in the USA to find decent work right now. My question would be how do you plan to earn a decent living in Colombia?

You can be dirt poor teaching english, have a job you can do from your computer, or . Seriously how do you plan to make a living in Colombia? That's the important question with no easy answers.

I do have a few things I do on the Internet that make me a small income. Also, teaching English wouldn't be all about the money, as long as I can pay my bills. I am not really sure, that is why I am asking what expats are doing there that aren't retired. Just exploring options and asking questions.

I met a couple of guys here in Cali that worked online as a mortgage broker and a computer programer. Most of the guys that I know that live here have retirement income and or are day traders. The others rent apartments to americans as a middle man or rent places and sublet them to gringos that don't have a cedula thus can't sign a rental agreement for themselves.

Then you have the guys in the sex chat business and one that works as a part time pimp.

The good knews is I haven't found any americans in the drug business yet.
