When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in El Salvador, they reponded...

"Suger Cane, Jumex Juice and Coke Cola. There are many other manufacturing plants and textiles near the city limits. The average wage is $200 per day or $500 if you are in a Call Center in San Salvador. There are no English school in the area but English is required as the second language. Opportunity for someone who wants to deal with the poor people and give them a decent education near home. Most people drive to San Salvador for a proper education. All the Universities are in the San Salvador," said another expat in Nejapa, El Salvador.

"Foreigners in El Salvador often work in the tourism industry, teaching English, or providing professional services such as accounting, engineering, and IT. They may also work in the agricultural sector, as well as in the manufacturing and construction industries. Additionally, some foreigners may find employment in the hospitality industry, such as in restaurants, hotels, and resorts," wrote a member who made the move to El Salvador.
