How can I save / make money on my travels???
I am going to central and south america - Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Argentina and Brazil. I am trying to learn as much spanish I can along the way. I've saved up some money but not as much as I hoped and I am going for 5/6 months in about a month. Does anyone know ways I can save/make money while I am out there???

Wow, good for you. Enjoy the life while you can. If you can get in contact with some travel companies / magazines maybe you can write some travel articles. How old are you? If you are realtively young 18 to about 30 maybe you can earn some money on the beach if you go there. One thing you need to remember. If you are not a citizen of that country, then you may be violating the laws of that country by not having a work permit. I see you will be hitting a lot of countries that require visas in advance. Have you taken care of all your visas? http://www.samspassport.com Whatever happens, enjoy your trip.

I would cut back my intinerary to say this time the Dominican Republic and Cuba. Save it for another time and go for Mexico through Costa Rica by bus, not expensive and good buses Then fly to the mainland of South America, Colombia or Venezuela. In Colombia you can take a boat down the Amazon from Letiicia, Colombia Work is not easy to come by and pays little

Would an engineer make more money in their own country (USA) or in a country like China/Brazil?

If it is a foreign country, please explain why this is so, and how a country with average human development can afford to pay an engineer so

USA Salaries are higher, and companies and governments can afford to pay professionals more
2 :
It is really based on supply and demand. If a country needs an engineer of a certain type, say civil, then the demand will translate into a higher salary. If the U.S. has a surplus of civil engineers, the salary will be low. However, there is a greater potential to make a lot of money in the U. S. But like everything else, it depends on the engineers qualifications and work history.

Can I really make a decent living teaching English in Brazil?
Can I really make a decent living teaching English in Brazil?
This is really two questions: 1. Can I make enough money teaching English in Brazil to have a decent standard of living? 2. How do I go about finding a job teaching English in Brazil?

Just to give you an example: My wife taught English in Brazil for almost 2 years. At first, she worked for English schools, where it is easy to find jobs, being a native English speaker. You can make about R$ 10.00- R$12.00 an hour in a small town, where cost of living is not high. Working in a big city might get you double, tough, of course, you'll spend more to live. Now, we rented an apartment, where she gave out classes to groups of 3-6 people, twice a week. She made average R$ 35.00 an hour, which is over US$17.00, under the table, which basically represents over US$ 25.00 if you had to pay taxes on it. We have been back to Boston for 4 years and she has never made that kind of money up here, needless to say that we spent around US$ 400.00 a month to live in Brazil and it takes us around US$ 2500.00 monthly to live here. We have plans to move back soon! I hope it helps you! Look for these schools: FISK, CCAA, Wizard and Quality.

I live in Brazil. To get a job teaching English here is very easy, but you must know also Portuguese. About the money, I think it is according the kind of city. The small cities pay less money but you spend less, and big cities is the opposite.
3 :
private language schools will pay you about R$25/hour here in minas gerais. if you are willing to work full-time - which can be very tiring, but that´s up to you - you can make around $1500 a month and live pretty decently. try numberone.com.br, it has schools all over brazil, and you get proper training and support.
4 :
Go to Brazil, find a place to live and work, put an advert in the local papers, "English lessons by native speaker" 10 real an hour, you get lots of phone calls from women saying I want some lessons, any type!
5 :
My wife wants to move back to Brasil one day & this is about the only option open to me. She tells me that as a native speaker you can earn a lot more than a Brasilian who had learnt English as native speakers are in high demand. She says that if you can arrange private lessons you'll be onto a winner. Although I love Brasil a lot though (I regard it as my second home) there are loads of things that I can do without there like the bureaucracy.

THE PEOPLE LOOK FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
7 :
Have lived in Brazil for 28 years and had friends who taught English. Generally they had another source of income as well, that is, if it was a couple, one taught English and the other did something else. To live off English teaching alone would be very difficult. Brazil has become more expensive these days and rent, gasoline, air fares are all quite high. Think before you jump in.
