Work For Americans

by Marc
(USA)

Hello All,

This sight is wonderful because I plan on moving to Cochabamba soon with my Bolivian wife. The only problem is trying to make an income in such a beautiful country with a poor economy. What types of jobs are available for college educated Americans? I'm 26 with a Chemical Engineering degree. My preference does not have to be chemical engineering. I'm willing to do whatever I have to do in order to live in this amazing country and city. If a job is not possible, I would like to start a business with my own niche market. Possibly offering something that is difficult to find in Bolivia but easy to obtain in USA. I would love to meet some great contacts in Cochabamba who have some honest ideas/suggestions for me. Thank you for sharing.

 Work for Americans

You might want to try doing a search here. I've set up a job search page that throws back job opportunities in Bolivia. Most of the listings seems to be kind of technical.

The other thing you might want to try is

www.idealist.com

to see if there are any NGOs that are looking for personnel. Most NGOs here use pretty technical staff because they set up health, agriculture, and income generation programs.

Also contact the American and English-speaking schools. Every considered teaching?

There is also an American school in La Paz and one in Cochabamba.

This is a volunteer organization but they might know of something. Doesn't hurt to ask.

Jindal Steel, although it's having some problems with its contract with the Bolivian government, apparently will be working things out and will probably stay in Bolivia.
