Rob : A brief summary.... I was born in New Haven, CT in 1963, graduated HS in 1982 in a small town in NH county.... moved to San Diego area in late 1982, roughly Oceanside area, left around 1987, went to Colorado Springs, lived there about 1987-1990, then moved to Vegas about 1990-1996, then back to CT... stuck here ever since, and married, in that post 1996 stint back here, worst thing I ever did !
I want out of CT (again) and marriage. I'm 45 minutes from the Mohegan sun, 30 minutes pushing it at 85-90 mph, but I haven't been there in probably a year.
I hate Connecticut.
absolutely:
I'd be cool with Canada.... BC... Vancouver, England, Australia.... for English speaking countries.
I'd consider Costa Rica for sure, my Spanish is bad.... CR would have to be post-divorce.... no way my wife would live there, but I want to lose her anyway !
Is this a job offer at CRIS ?
I could adapt to CR, I think ?
I'd do San Jose, CR.
making lines and taking bets ( for a book) would probably be my thing if I were to go to CR ( unlikely). I'm getting too old for actual construction work,I'm 45, younger Ticos have great advantage on me there, not a musician ( not at all), not a real mechanic, not a restauranteur.
I would be excellent at taking bets via phone from US punters, I could do that, for sure.... but so could Jose, if he speaks good English.
I don't think I'm terribly needed by a book in CR.... maybe a chance if my Spanish was excellent. I'd probably be desirable if spoke English,Spanish, and Korean and Vietnamese fluently.
I get it, I'm cool to retire in CR .... if I bring 500k+ with me.... not too welcome if I want to take a potential job from a Tico/Tica.
You can make more money collecting unemployment in the states than being a phone clerk here....but if money isn't your priority, living in a foreign country has its moments...
You can do real estate down here...you don't need any type of license...
Sales is an option in the books down here...I know a few guys that do well...
But I am guessing that anything is better than living in Conn. in the freezing cold and not liking your marital situation...come on down and visit for a week, it is a lock that you will have a good time...

Yeah, I can't wait to visit Austin. My sister is in the process of moving there. I was thinking it would be hard for me to relocate since the locals would have a better chance of getting a job over a transplant like myself.
I see Dell has been hiring for months so I could get a job there listening to people bitch over the phone about their computers for $25,000/year. Other than that I haven't seen much in my line of work.
What is it you like about Austin so much?
Zit, I'm in Iowa, -17 fucking degrees here...visited Austin for the first time a few months back and loved it...been trying to get a job down there ever since. What industries are doing the best? The jobs are kind of scarce according to the job sites...cant even get a call back for what I have applied for.
