Summary.
Education: Will have my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice soon.
Employment: Seeking employment in Corrections or Probation
Employment: Run a small online business but definitely not enough income to support my family yet, as I have recently started the business
Experience: Volunteering in my county for the past year, in Parole. 8+ years in Retail Loss Prevention(security), management roles, and in a sales role
Language: English, not bilingual but probably could learn Spanish if it was absolutely necessary. Can read some/speak some. Not fluent.
Family: Three kids, 7,6, and 4. Boyfriend has recently returned to college
------------
My questions:
Jobs: Other than USA jobs, where are your federal/state/county jobs listed??? Prisons-how do you get into a prison job. Military-have seen many listings that were lateral military transfers. Are there jobs on bases that do not require a Military status? Retail: In hourly positions, what is the pay like? Casino Security: In Puerto Rico, do people tend to like these jobs? I would love feedback from people who have done Loss Prevention or Security as it is a small world. But pleeeeeezzzeeee feel free to reply with any ideas.
Education: Is a Bachelor's degree worth anything in Puerto Rico? Does it help?
Housing: I have found many sites with rentals. From your experience, will landlords rent to a good family if they do not have any employment to begin with? I.e. pay 3-6 months up front. It seems practically impossible to find jobs or network when you're a whole country away.
Kids and School: I hear a lot of people recommending private schools for children. Is this normal? Is putting them in public school "ok"???
Any and all information is appreciated! I am not here to hear any "don't move here" type of stuff. But in PR is #1 on our list and there are just a couple others after that.
Please and thank you!!!
