I'm half looking for work and dont speak the language, to be honest its gonna be years before I can speak the language well enough to get a decent job. At the moment I'm looking into working in expat nursing homes or some kind of care work with elderly ex pats - the pay isnt good, but it would be nice just to do something.

Interestingly, we had to have a plumber (drain unblocker!) out yesterday, he was english, has lived here for seven years and doesnt really speak spanish to any great extend. I think he has a fair bit of work and from the ammount he's charged our landlord, he's doing ok financially!! That said, from what I saw him do, he earnt every cent!! So i guess it can be done
