I just can’t get over how much I am learning about these little people. Besides begging me to see the homes they have for sale. Which I might add is a bit wierd because they only seem to sell them for one week a year. They call it sharing. I don’t understand the concept, but I guess with the turnover they have going to and from the US there is no need to own one of these places for more than a week a year. Helluva an idea I must say. That will surely be in my report. These people are smart!
oh but that wasn’t my most amazing find. These guys are great landscapers! HOLY SHIT! I just got done golfing and the course was crawling with Mexicans! I’m so confused out here. All I see is Mexicans everywhere I go. I wonder what those guys get paid? It must be like a job training program. They learn their trades down here so they can come to the US to be demonized, shunned and made to feel like they are lesser. What a country.
Oh well, I will report back later if I am able to figure out why these guys leave their country. My best guess is that all of mexico is either gang members, drug addicts or pregnant, wait, maybe all three!

The average manufacturing wage in Mexico is $2.60 per hour.
I have family in Monterrey. My brother-in-law earns approximately $60 US per week. He is a supervisor in a garage for buses. This is a pretty good job. He works 6 days a week, about 9 hours a day. Of course, there is no such thing as overtime. My other brother-in-law works in a factory in Monterrey that makes span-dex clothing (exercise stuff) and makes about $45.00 per week working a different shift every month. Also a decent job. My suegra lives in Cd. Mante and cleans house for a pretty well off family for about $30 per week. I am not sure what kinds of jobs you are looking at, but these wages I have mentioned are typical for the Mexican working class.

Assuming you didn’t already, do NOT sign up for a time share in Mexico! You will have to drain yourself of blood before you can get away from it. Hell, getting out of a timeshare in general is crappy. Plus, aside from them being a bad deal anyway (I, officially, am a sucker…got one at Vistana in Orlando), most, if not all, don’t ever let you acheive true ownership. Meaning, you can’t pass it on at death. Oooo, those sneaky bastards.
