living and working in jamaica

12 years ago
Hello I'm from the US, I want to move to Jamaica. I'm in the process of buying a house in the Kingston area. I'm a social worker in the states, I know that there aren't many jobs if any for social workers, but I'm willing to do something different. I'm hoping to hear other peoples experiences with moving from the States and finding employment/source of income. What kind of advice can you give. Also, I have a 9 year son, so any advice about schools would be great as well. Any help and/or advice anyone can give would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you in advance!
