    Thanks Tom, have no idea how I missed that one …

    Another crystal clear example why our young people MUST learn a second and if possible a third language to help them succeed…

    unfortunatly; most of these jobs are at a CALL CENTER level. My son worked at one of them with HP in Heredia and he tells me it was not a job where you can get promoted easily and the salary is a little more than average.
