Well, I know in other countries you could Tutor children on their ENGLISH. You can charge a nominal fee, and usually it will be those who are a little better off than others (those who can afford their children an ENGLISH Tutor) I'm not sure if your in a poor province, etc...

A helper. Dish washer. I picked beans before. Clean tables. If you are in the right place Tourism and Teaching.

I've searched for months and months on end. Try a resort in a tourist location or look for English based telemarketing jobs.

Mexico has strict working visa laws that can be insanely hard to get. A company needs to sponsor you for you to even get the visa. They will consider you if you have a university level degree, but the fact that you can't speak spanish really hurts you. You might have to find work in a family run company of your significant other with money paid under the table. However, learning spanish isn't impossible. I learned it in just 1 year of 100% exposure to it and spell spanish even better than most native speakers. My dad learned spanish as an adult and he's quite fluent in it (though he can't speak it with the speed and fluidity that I do)

You are at what Mikey calls - The Mexican crossroad ! Mexico with all it has to offer can draw one in , w/o doubt ! Mikey too wishes he spoke spanish before I arrived , I now do , but this is only one piece of the problem, and is up to you alone. When Acapulco beats me down , I go to the beach. Then I remember why I'm here. Your mind is wandering back to the states and your lifestyle there , and we are talking only about " lifestyle " here. Will sheetrock , carpet and strip malls fix it ? I doubt it. Taking your fiance away from Mexico and her family will have unforeseen ramifications. Remember that The American is still in you - You need to let that go . Chasing the all mighty dollar is not all it's cracked up to be. Your being tested right now. I can't believe a family member of her's has not stepped up and helped ?? Providing for your family is not easy but is the true test of a man and husband. No way would I leave w/o a job and housing set up wherever "home" may be. Right now "home" is Mexico and America ain't doin' that well right now either :( Edit: Hope I did not overstep my bounds but............ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvjcbwnGGkcOTab0DYtAVDjty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081213153624AA601fB&show=7#profile-info-JKsxMVtbaa

Well a lot of people like you end up teaching english in private schools, some even offer translation services later on. And i even know a guy who end up having a very successful language school at the end, starting with humble beginnings. USA americans are the largest foreign group of people living in Mexico, so try to come up with an idea to provide something. And the most important thing, you will need to self employ your self, Mexican labor laws are severe when it comes around foreigners getting Jobs.
