My boyfriend is considering studying at SUSOM, and I don't want to spend another two years apart! Does anyone else have a significant other/spouse there with them? What do they do? Have they been able to find work? Is it possible to make enough money to live on the island? I checked out the SOS website, but it seems geared mostly to families with kids, and didn't say much at all about employment. My message to the contact email address bounced.

Hey
My Fiancee came with me down here. He found full time employment at one of the restaurants by just emailing as many as he could find before he got here. He had a job lined up so as soon as he came down he could start working. The wages are not terrific though. You will only make about 6 dollars an hour, but if you have loans to pay tuition, your wages will be enough to at least pay rent!

My good friend's fiancee also got a full time job teaching the GED program on the island, where others have found employment at the primary school. Just start emailing businesses now so that you get your name out there! That way when an opening becomes available they will already have your name

Hello - sorry but I can't seem to ge the website updated for the SOS contact. PM me and I will try to fill you in. Rebbster gave you some good advice.

Thank you guys for the encouraging info! Is there a website with links to businesses and schools on the island?

Do you have the contact info for the individuals teaching in the primary school or GED program? My husband is a teacher and I'm interested in finding out about career options for him before applying to the school.

Thanks so much for your help!
