            Finding a Job as an American in Uruguay

            It’s tough to get a regular job as an American in Uruguay. That shouldn’t be a surprise, really.

            Wages are lower here and even if you decide you want to work for the lower pay, you’ll be competing with the locals who of course know the language and customs much better than you do. Having said that, there are certainly some instances where gaining employment is possible.

            Your Work In Uruguay Options

            Teaching in Uruguay

            As the language commonly spoken in Uruguay is Spanish, Americans living in the country can find a healthy source of income by becoming English teachers.

            You can apply for jobs at public institutions for educating children, or perhaps even open your own side business tutoring English. Some Americans have even started schools teaching English as a second language to the locals.

              Don’t assume though that just because you have a little experience tutoring English that you’ll just be able to walk in and get a job at a school. Depending on the area that you’re applying in, many actual teachers from the U.S. lock those jobs up.

              That said, teaching English is one of the easiest ways of finding work in Uruguay.

              Blogging

              While not an actual job in Uruguay, many expats make a side income or even a decent living by blogging.

              You can blog about fashion, your new life in Uruguay, photography, or just about anything else you have an interest in.

              It’s even possible to write articles and blog posts for companies all over the world, most of which couldn’t care less if you live in Manhattan or Montevideo, as long as you have the experience and judgement.

                Business Between Uruguay And U.S. Companies

                Often companies in Uruguay that engage in business with the U.S. look for help from Americans who know how to speak English well and can help their employers cut through the red tape.
