Any advice on the education pay there. I have a daughter, her brother and father are already there. We are looking to purchase a home. We would rather build than buy...but we reallly dont want to stay with relatives. My goal was to secure a job prior to moving, but the only accesse to employment information that I have is online. I will be there in July, but the schools will be closed, so I believe it will be difficult for me to search for employment then. Any advice or directions are greatly appreciated. My plan was to move there within the next 3 years, but if I could get there by summer next year....that would do my and my daughters heart good. I am looking for a school of performing and creative arts for my daughter to attend...If anyone has information please send.

I believe that you will find employment as long as you have a skill/training. the biggest problem in my mind is the poooor service that most if not all businesses have there. They treat there customers as if the customer is not paying for the service that they expect to have.
I too would like to return, but with the lousy service and the lack of completion as far as land line is concern, I am hesitant, I have a home business, and I need a working land line, that provides me with a resonable flat rate to make unlimited calls a broad and localy. People say it's the crime that make Jamaica as bad as it is, I have another reason, it's the poor attitude of most Jamaicans at home, including the business community and the greedy and selfish politicians. Have anyone notice how big and fat these guys are? Don't they know that if workers on the bottom end are better paid, the country will prosper, and if the country prosper they will prosper ever more? The more money you earn, the more you spend, and the vast majority of spenders are not business people...so it's the people at the top that is mosly holding the country back.
