US $3,000 a month...
... you'd have to earn US12,000 a month US$144,000 a year to afford that...and they would have to select a light skinned real estate agent. 
Worried about not having a guard.

If they were expats, the international company will probably give them a housing stipend.
If not, $144K is a smallish salary for an expat.7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.Comment

US $144K smallish? Where are people finding these jobs. Trust me I would move back in a heartbeat if someone offered me that.Comment

A company is not going to send an entry level clerk to work for them at an international location. The expat would need to be someone higher level, with a significant amount of skill and/or knowledge.
Then think of all the perks the company has to expense...housing, travel, bonuses, etc. The expenses could add up to $50K per year or more. Why spend that on someone that is making $60K?7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.Comment

BTW, I think I saw that House Hunters show. Was it the young couple that was all concerned about security and money since the wife wasn't going to be working while in JA?7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.Comment

LOL, it can be quite lucrative. The only problem is, you may not end up someplace warm and sunny like Jamaica. You could end up in Norway.7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.Comment

And if you go direct to Jamaica, you will be working for a Jamaican company making JA dollars. That is probably way different from working for an 'farrin' company with offices in Jamaica....and being paid in farrin dollas.7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.Comment

Funny though when I was recently in Jamaica, there was a family living with my cousin in Kingston. The husband is a broadcaster and the wife is an accountant. They have 2 rooms in the main house, one for the couple and one for their child. One would think they would be making enough money to manage on their own but....they have been there for years, since before the child who is about 9 now was born.
No I would want to work with a foreign company being paid in foreign dollars. I couldn't afford to work for a Jamaican company earning Jamaican dollars.Originally posted by Pepper View PostLast edited by Tropicana; 07-30-2014, 01:27 PM.Comment
