19 Year Old Bilingual, What Kind Of Job/salary Can I Expect?

[natykerouac]

I want to move to Argentina and study. I'm 19, fluent in castellano and English, I will be financially independent and have to find a job to support myself. How much can I expect to earn, is there any way I'll be able to support myself, what kinds of jobs would I be able to get? (once I get my DNI) Thanks!

If you're lucky, around $7,500 ARS a month IF you work full time.

Right now that's around $680.00 a month.

P.S. Being bilingual is nice, but it doesn't make you stand out if it's English and Spanish
since English, although spoken poorly, is a skill had by many people in our age bracket.

what are your qualifications? if none, as a waiter you can get around 7k pesos or similar working double shift in a call center or if you can teach English about the same...

Waiters are earning 7K a month?! I had no idea.

Are those jobs available without a DNI? If I move there on a tourist visa or get a student visa..

To work in Argentina you need at least a temporary visa. Jobs are found primarily through contacts . A 19 year old foreigner with no local experience and no other experience, who knows?

The salary WITHOUT tips for a waiter (or bartender) working at a full service restaurant (or bar) fully in white is now over $7000 pesos.

I didn't say I have no experience, I've had many regular jobs here, I have experience in the film industry too.
Ok. So I don't necessarily need the DNI to get a job right away. A student visa will be ok temporarily at least. Right?
