Hi folks,

I´m an spanish guy living in England, I´m a bit fed up with my
way of life, I need a change!!! but that´s the only thing that I
know..
I NEED A MASSIVE CHANGE!!! so all these crazy ideas have come to my
mind recently...like moving to a caribbean island!! can anyone living
in there
or with the experience tell me how is actually to live in there, as I
suppose that is not the same thing going on holidays than staying in
there.
I haven´t got much preferences about the island, granada,
antigua...dunno.
I´m an artist-programmer so, could I get a job?
visa? house?.....I´ve got so many questions that I don´t know where to
start really......I´d really appreciate any help at all
Thanks in advance!!!!

There are lots of banks in Grand Cayman. If they use computers they may
need you. Depends. Grand Cayman has it written in their Constitution
that non-nationals cannot own property, unless said property will
provide employment for locals. Higher taxes are imposed on non-national
property owners.

Jamaica has the highest poverty level and unemployment of all the
Caribbean, so that's one to avoid. Your bi-lingual skills as well as
programming might prove useful in a conversion project where some Latin
American corporation is migrating to a major software package developed
in an English speaking country. An International IT Consulting firm
might be able to help you find a long-term placement in a tropical
setting. Brush up on your most marketable skill set. If you have
COBOL, and some hot 4th Generation language like C++ or ABAP, there are
still companies converting from mainframe environments to Unix Box File
Server based environments. If you are Graphic Artist / Web Authoring
programmer that's the hottest you can get. You should be able to
present your resume to any international IT consulting company and name
the country where you'd like to work.
