Decent work pay in San Antonio?
My bf didn't plan too well when we moved from FL to TX and now we have realized that to not lose our cars and have a place to live, we have to make $23/hour between the two of us. He is a chef; two year degree in culinary arts but has been out of the cooking industry for about 6 years. He's done private cooking on the side but worked in clerical-type jobs around $12/hour back home. He's 36, hispanic, if that matters for the San Antonio area... Me, I'm 25 and have no degree yet; I've worked in tons of fast food, and in the past three to four years worked as a collector for debt, and then in call centers for Verizon DSL and Progressive Auto Insurance. Last wage was $13.10/hour So. Companies that might have similar pay to what we're used to? Opportunities from home to make extra money? (NOT our own business, but anything legal that will give extra cash??) I'm willing to work hard to not lose my transport or home, but need help finding as I'm new here! THANK YOU!!!

Tell him to apply for a job as a personal chef working in one of the mansions at the Dominion! A lot of the SA SPURS Basketball players and local celebrities, millionaires live there!

If you have call center experience, you can try travelocity, american express , west and AT&T, i woked for travelocity and payd about 14$/hour, but I think they have changed some things, also you can try sirius computer solutions, located accross the stree from north star mall. Thats what i can think of the top of my head. Good Luck!

I live in San Antonio. You have to consider the fact that although you may get paid less, the cost of living here is less than the national average (like gas for us is about 10-15 cents cheaper than the national average). You may end up spending less on car insurance, food, rent, etc. And of course where in the city you choose to live will make a difference also.
