I'll have my masters degree in International Urban Planning. My spanish is fine but needs work to get to a fluent level. Does anyone have any idea on the environment for these types of jobs working for aid agencies, city governments, etc.? We've been looking but getting suggestions from other sources is always helpful

Reality Finding a good job in Bogota is very hard these days even for native people. I have two cousins from Bogota with a Master's degree in Urban Planning who have been out of work for more than a year. They are working odd jobsm nothing related to what they studied and are very frustrated with the situation. What most foreigners do in Colombia is work as teachers, but the pay is not very good. Unless you are sent by an USA company to work in Bogota, it is hard for a foreigner to find work. We wanted to move back there last year but changed our minds because of that reality. Do a lot of research before moving. You may have to sacrifice your profession. Good luck!
