Need a job
I frequent this board and have for a while. I know this doesnt have anything to to with baja but im looking for any good job ideas for a 25 year old
who loves baja, fishing, and the outdoors. I have a business degree from Point Loma Nazarene and worked for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I think some of you
guys/gals might have some good ideas. Thanks
Ethan

How about working for a private fishing charter boat? You would get to be outdoors, off the Baja coast, and obviously.....getting the opportunity to
do some fishing. Check the link below!

Y'know, Ethan, if you really love "fishing, Baja and the outdoors", you could do what I did (and continue doing).
When I was a few years younger than you, I decided that retirement is wasted on the old, and started taking mine in chunks. I first moved to Vermont,
and then Colorado, living right next to ski areas nd working construction to pay for my winters off skiing.
Then I went to Baja in 1985 at the age of 25 and fell in love with the place.
Since then, I have been working maybe three months per year, dispensing with such costly encumbrances as kids, property, renting, car payments and US
health care.
I found that I can spend time doing what I love in the US, Canada and Mexico for most of the year while working less and less.
For example, once I pay for car maintenance (not very much on a 94 Prizm), camping gear, fishing license, Mexican insurance and gas to get there,
Mexico ends up costing me about $15-$20 per week for six or seven months; figure $2000 per winter to cover the "extras" that always pop up.
The "extras" in my case: a house for $150/month plus some labor; dental work; prescriptions; beermaking supplies; a mordida or two; satellite radio.
As you can see, I decided long ago that a couple of weeks per year vacation doesn't cut it with me; nor does working steady for lots of toys and
retirement when I'm older.
Of course, there's the downside in that I'll still be working a few months per year when I'm 90

In those "later" years your productivity will have declined to a level that you have to work 50 weeks a year to be able to take a 2 week vacation

HOWEVER....

Have you considered welfare? Evidently a lot of Americans survive comfortably on taxpayer generosity. If they didn't, and had to work, we wouldn't
be worrying ourselves about a stupid fence.

That is so true Dennis. When New Orleans flooded they reported that the city as a whole had 80% unemployment. What would compel people to stick
around a place that that cannot get work? The answer is entitlements. Do away with those and we could actually speak English when we order our Big
Macs. Until the government quits paying people to have babies the immigration problem isn't going anywhere. Remember, people on the government dole
vote for whoever promises to give them the biggest raise.
As far as work. Do something you love and the money will be secondary. Their are fishing boats that work the winter, but it is not as much fun.

Pascale - how about selling real estate? That's a really transferrable skill, and several people I know down here are making a darn good living.
The down side is that it must be rather quiet in the States about now.

Think hard about jumping into selling Real Estate in a foreign country, you had better know what you are doing or you could get in way over your head
very quickly, it's bad enough in the states. I'm not rying to be negative but I am a broker in the states and I know several that conduct business in
foreign countries it can be very lucrative but it is best to have experience in the business before jumping in. Get your brokers license in the states
to gain experience and at the same time educate yourself to how RE works in other countires.

You guys who are cynically suggesting welfare, your biases and ignorance are inappropriate in this string (or anywhere, really).
The guy is asking for work not welfare! He is young, earnest and possibly a little naive, like we all were once. Come on....cut him
some slack. Better yet, offer him a job.
