Just moved to CR(Quepos) I have been getting along OK but still some bumps in the road. What kind of business does Mendee own? (been here for 1 month)

[iCostaRica24]

@magnolia77014 Her and her boyfriend made lamps and bamboo furniture.

ok??? so where can americans work in CR what types of jobs are there??

[iCostaRica24]

@counselorllc WATCH our video, I think it's called, "Working in Costa Rica..Can you? Legally?" that might answer some of your questions.

[counselorllc]

@iCostaRica24 thanks i saw it, it was great, but i was not planning to open my own business. I am more into counseling couples and adolescents, so I just need some direction in that area, social services/mental health. I dont know where in CR I can find opportunities like those. They must besomone where though, ppl in every country have problems. I may want to relocate after I complete college,,, Thanks again

[iCostaRica24]

@counselorllc REally, it would be easier if you just started your own business....you're only talking a few hundred dollars.... because you can't get hired here for those skills.... Funny, that's exactly what I used to do when I was in the STATES.....

[magnolia77014]

thank you for your quick response. i am trying to start a mobile phone rental company. if you have any info. i could sure use the help. i don't know where to start except for purchasing the cell phone. Pura Vida!

[counselorllc]

@iCostaRica24 really? omy. so,, CR does not have mental health clinic, couples who need counseling, adolscencts who have behavioral issues? or are these jobs only for Ticos? I will think about th businesss, its just a bit challenging for me as I am not a business person, as I dont even have a business here. But if I had a few hundred dollars couldnt i apply for permenent residency. I read someone where if you invest in CR you can apply for residency, dnt quote me, but it was somethng like that
