It's either:

- retired and have a pension
- own property/business in the states that gives you an income BUT lets you live far off.
- teacher BUT accepting it won't pay/last long
- a job that lets you work remotely
- mercenary
- work for the embassy or big oil company
- or your own business (advice: if it's open YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE)

- forgot about being a pimp too.

Actually there are three openings right now.

Strange as it might seem-it would be a big help if we know what the hell you can do??

Most of us just tie our burros to a palm tree, pull our sombreros down to keep keep the sun out and wait for fruit to fall in our lap. Our women just braid hair on the beach-all in all a quiet existence.

=============
The family is in the bar business but there is no way I'd be allowed to come on board as a partner. The bar business is a little different than the typical bar in the U.S.,, actually,, more than a little different,, more like a strip club that rents rooms by the half hour.

Just toooo much temptation,, I'd WOULD be there day and night,, well not real early.
