American Business Student Wants To Know

Incredibly, what you re saying is right.
See, Peronismo is just an illusion. There are clearly two types of Peronismos. This has been said here by me many times.
The left and the right. Thay have NOTHING in common. And by nothing I mean nothing. They are oposed, in fact. They only uses the name peronism just to get distincted from other parties like UCR or the militaries project.
I suggest you to check out (google, bibliography, whatever you want), to study a little bit the historical slogans of Peronismo, and how they developed in time. Compare the third peronismo with the two before, or with the Ks, if you will. Seriously. Youll find out that the 1975 government and the 90s by Menem were not in fact peronismo, since they dont have nothing in common with the first two. And were opposite. Nationalisation and expropriation cant be under the same umbrella than privatization.
The truth is that Peron while in exile set on the two wings, and once in government, in his last days, took part for the right. That explains Isabels decision, and Montoneros clandestinity. But every analyst will agree that the third Peron was very different from the first two -it was another world also.

There are Peronist factions who all swear undying allegiance to the memory of the caudillo, and the overriding principle on which they agree is to make the country ungovernable whenever a non-Peronist occupies the presidency.

I think the poor guy just wanted some info, now we are having a history lesson.

Oso, getting a good job as a foreigner here is no small task. As some mentioned earlier, you really have to have a very good command of the language. Even then, you are at a stark disadvantage because of the complexity of the way things work here. This country is very bureaucratic and there are all sorts of ins and outs. In a business, you have to deal with them all to often, and your employers are going to know you have no knowledge of the way things work here. Even if you had a degree from Harvard, it would not necessarily give you a leg up, because you have that disadvantage. Most employers here are very pragmatic and experience far outweighs degrees.

My recommendation to you is to A) Investigate starting your own business here (not for the faint of heart), and bring dollars. There is a low ceiling for investing in a business here. For instance, a friend of mine bought a laundry mat in Puerto Madero for 15,000 USD, and he then ended up expanding until he had 5 of them. This friend lives off of these small laundromats, and lives quite well. It's hard to make a successful business here, but not impossible.

My best recommendation is to start your own business in Europe, the US, or another stable Latin American country (but I still recommend Europe or the US over Latin America!), and if you want to live here, manage it from afar. In today's world technology can permit this sort of thing in certain areas. Some ideas might be a full on travel company with tours in Argentina, some sort of digital service or website, or perhaps some sort of home stay program that partners with spanish institutes here.

The job market here is brutal and you really have to jump through a lot of hoops just to get one. Make an alternative plan.

Juan Peron died on July 1st, 1974. Isabel was president for SIX MONTHS before January 1st 1975.

I don't understand why Mati keeps adjusting the timeline and this was my original point!!!

When people say "1976", just nod, no matter how much of a selective memory they seem to be displaying.

Napoleon, again, desaparecidos started in 1975. Everyone says that. Madres, Abuelas, every human right organization, the justice when it comes to nietos recuperados, even the ads in tv talk of 1975. Peron died in July 1974, but desaparecidos started in 1975.

"Some ideas might be a full on travel company with tours in Argentina"

I know a few people in the travel business who are looking to scale down or back out due to rapidly declining tourist numbers. Brazilians aren't coming as much as they should and bad press/dollar-pesos "complications" are affecting the US market.

I don't think a foreigner would have too much joy in the local market, i.e. internal tourism.
