Average salary in Brazil and cost of living?
Dear friends, I have the chance to do my Internship in Brazil between february 2009 and july 2009. The thing is that the Agency I have contacted with told me that the payment is going to be between 300 and 600 Brazilian Reals and that should be around 130 USD. I know that the internship is always low paid, and that's the way it should be. But I am worried cause they told me that 130 dollars will be enough for me to cover my rent and food. Is it true? Can I make it with that amount of money? Thank you for you answers and time. Z they didn't specify wether is for a week or a month. But if they say average salary in Brazil si between 300 and 600 reals, I am worried they mean a month. Anyway did you mean that 130 USD is ok if it is per week?

130 USD every how often?

I am afraid this is the reality of internship, just between 300 and 600 reais/month. Mostly, who gets this salary, is still at parents home so, they do not have big expenses. And when it is a actual salary, people has other part-time jobs. So, I don't mean to be negative, but if this is all they can offer to you, and based on the life level you already have and on your future plans, I would say get a real and strong pros and cons, before coming. As my personal opinion, if I was in your shoes, probably won't take it.
