Which of the posters live in Cali? Medellin?
« on: December 05, 2010, 04:20:15 PM »
I would really appreciate any information(pros and cons) you can share about living in these two cities?  The women?  Work opportunities for an educated American?  Quality of life?

Thanks,

Toby

Well for a really good job in Cali paying in dollars at US salary levels that provides housing subsidy and a new Nissan product for transport you´ll want to be employed by CIAT (Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical). You won´t need to speak Spanish but you will need a doctorate (or be working on one) in an agriculture related field. Next down the ladder would be teaching a subject (science say) in English at a top private bilingual high school but you might need "pelanca" to get the job. Lets see, after that I met a guy on the plane once who works in Buenaventura, two hours from Cali as a salvage diver making propeller repairs etc. to mostly Chinese ships. Moving further down the pay scale I know three Americans who operate video chat businsses in Cali. I don´t think business is booming. And then at the bottom of employment opportunities would be teaching Enclish at an instituto.

Toby if you´ve got the credentials and it sounds like you may, CIAT is hands down the best employment oportunity for an educated  North American in the city of Cali. I´m a little surprised that there have been no more responses to your post but you did direct it to posters "in country" and I guess there ain´t any. Regarding the other themes there are more pretty women in Colombia than churches and the quality of life (depending how you measure it) is on a par with the US. If you plan to drive in Colombia that will probobly be your biggest learning curve.
