Work For Americans

(USA)

Hello All, I wrote this topic previously in the Cochabamba forum with no luck but was hoping to obtain some information here because so far it seems like Santa Cruz is the place to be in terms industry and economy for Bolivia. I plan on moving to Bolivia soon and would like to start a life there with my wife who is originally from La Paz. The only problem is trying to make an income in such a beautiful country with a poor economy. What types of jobs are available for college educated Americans? I'm 26 with a Chemical Engineering degree. My preference does not have to be chemical engineering. I'm willing to do whatever I have to do in order to live in this amazing country and city. If a job is not possible, I would like to start a business with some type of niche market. Possibly importing/exporting products that are difficult to find in Bolivia but easy to obtain in USA. I would love to meet some great contacts in Santa Cruz who have some honest ideas/suggestions for me. Thank you for sharing.
