Hello,

I am wondering where you get your information from?

I live in Mexico (D.F), I teach English and I "make a living" doing so.

From what you write, I assume "teaching English" refers to language schools only. I have never taught at such a place, but I know people who do/have and they too are "making a living."

One thing I am extremely curious about, is how do you get this $3-$5/hour figure? There are not many people I know here who make $5/hour and certainly no one makes $3.

Also, how is contacting 3 schools representative of what any particular city offers? Do you have any idea how many places there are in Mexico City alone to work at? I do not, but the number is certainly large enough that talking to 3 schools provides zero reflection on the market.

Of course, not all jobs pay wonderfully, and making your millions to retire early isn´t going to happen either. However, making enough to live and enjoy life is possible.
