Regarding my previous post where I was called out for supposedly posting a BS post relative to Nurse and Dentist salaries in Mexico.

The Nurse salary I quoted comes directly from my girlfriend who works as a Nurse in Tijuana. She is a year into working as a Nurse So I stand firm that what she told me is legitimate. She is not a liar whatsoever.

Regarding the comment about dentists making pennies and reverting to working in the Tijuana bars. Let me go on record that using the term "pennies" was not the right choice of words as I know Dentists in Mexico that do in fact make more than pennies. And many what seems to be making a good living. I am seeing one myself in Tijuana that has been in business for many years and is living well. So let me rephrase what I really meant to say as follows. My girlfriend has two good friends living in Culiacan that went to work as new dentists. For some reason, they both ended up preferring to work in Hong Kong because the money was way better. I don't know the circumstances as to why this is, but that is really all I was trying to convey.

So believe me or not. Your choice.

I think all salaries are in a range of low-medium-high, depending on a lot of things, the most common is probably experience. So a 1st year nurse still learning how to stick in IV into your arms will make a hell of a lot less than the 20 year head surgical nurse that often explains the the 1st year surgeon how things are really done. Same with dentistry. Doctors work for less than minimum wage when they start out but they call it residency. It is possible that your nurse climbed to the top of her profession before retirement. The two dentists probably supplemented their income until they gain more experience. Hey do they still have their uniforms? Are they still at HK and willing to go upstairs while wearing their kinky dentist uniforms?

Boy, where do you get your information from? Nurses making $90 a week? Really? Dentists making pennies? I'm mexican and my brother is a dentist he makes a very good income, just like anyone in the medical field, here and in the US, if you were going to post a BS post with fake information you should at least not choose the medical industry as an example, everyone who works in the medical field makes a lot of money simply because everyone doesn't want to die, and that's universal.

I'm an engineer and I work in a local factory here in Tijuana and the nurse that takes care of us here at work makes the same as I do by the way.

Good for you. My information regarding the nurse salary came directly from my girlfriend who just so happens to be a Nurse in Tijuana. The dentist salary is taken from her friends in Sinaloa. So refute whatever you like. Don't go calling people BS when you don't like or agree with what they are saying.

Drove back Saturday early morning 1:30 AM.

Pedestrian line went all the way back beyond the foot bridge, 3 persons across, reaching the taxi stand.

The line was not moving, CBP was not letting people in through the gate. Estimated wait time was 3 to 4 hours or more. Normally pedestrian line has vert few people after midnight, wingmen have been crossing in 10-15 minutes. There was no delay in the SENTRI car lane, so not sure what happened.

Probably the shortest trip I have done to Tijuana. Got there about 2:30 p and was out of there about 4:30 pm. Got laid by Sorey who I really liked and she let my fingers go inside which I totally love to do. But not all girls will let you. She didn't want any pictures so will try to get a shot another time. After arriba I went back downstairs to HK and took a couple girls into the private rooms off to the side at HK. Told the girls I would tip them if they got nude and both were ok with that and it was really nice. I was a little paranoid with the variant virus stuff so really didn't want to stay a long long time.

The line at the border about 5 pm was long for those not having Sentry or Global Entry.

Parking was $13 for Sunday for under 8 hours compared to Saturday where they would have charged $25. So that was a nice surprise.

Yeah sounds kind of third world. I know my ex in-laws rent to a few Americans as all they have for a pension is SS and they pay $400 per month to share a house, split level. Definitely can't survive in SoCal with rent for a studio starting around $1,800. I wonder what happens when it rains and the cardboard gets wet. Mold must be an issue as well. Good insight into challenges of bar girl life. Reminds me of stickman Bangkok posts.

If you go from otay border to Hong Kong, you can see the shacks. Also if you got from playas de Tijuana to the border you can see them. It's a good think Mexico is violent. What would of happened to all these poor Mexican neighborhoods if Mexico was safe? They would of been torn down 40 years ago and Mexico would look like south Florida full of retired Americans Canadiens and San Diego natives.

Federal minimum wage for border area is about $1. 25 an hour, about $0. 60 in interior.

Manufacturers are paying double minimum wages to retain workers. Maquiladoras' workers in border towns are making about $10 a day or $400 a week. Factory girls in interior states, Sinaloa, Sonora or Michoacan would make half of that, about $200 a week.

Average wage in Mexico for manufacturing and maquiladora industries News 23 December 2019.

As a reference, the minimum wage for the Mexico border region was raised to $176 pesos a day ($9. 26 dollars a day when the Mexican peso is at 19) in January 2019, while the non-border region minimum wage is at $88 pesos a day ($4.63 dollars a day). This federally mandated wage increase did not impact manufacturers as they are already paying well above Mexican minimum wage while still representing dramatic savings over US minimum wages.

The average wage in Mexico for manufacturing and maquiladora industries is different than the minimum wage in Mexico. The average wage for an assembler in a Mexico manufacturing operation is $2.60 dollars an hour, equaling an average daily wage of $20 dollars. Representing a dramatic difference from the actual minimum wage in Mexico, Foreign companies manufacturing in Mexico strive for employee retention as evidenced by attractive average wages and benefits packages.

The Reader had an article about paracaidistas in Tijuana a few years back. In a "flash colonia" all of a sudden hundreds or thousands of people turn a Tijuana hillside from bare dirt into a shantytown with cardboard sided houses by digging into the steep hillside. They then run extension cords and hack into the city power lines illegally, resulting in house fires when the extension cords fray. Paracaidistas means parashooters, because they arrive and build in a day or so the cardboard / plywood shanty houses as if they jumped from the sky. Guy who invited me to me Tijuana place was called Alphonso. He had a rental in San Diego and his shantyhouse in Tijuana and one time when he was working in San Diego some other Mexicans stole his house while he was gone. Put it on the back of a pickup truck and hauled it off to another hillside lot. Heard later he and his sons drove all over Tijuana to find it and as Alphonso was half German and big and very good with a machete, he got his house back. LOL.

In any case, there is cheap housing available in Tijuana for about $80 per month, in one of the "flash colonias", unlike San Diego.

Yes, us Americans and our Canadian brothers and sisters are the anomalies in North America in terms of the silo nature of how we live even in terms of how we eat. The idea that each person has their own plate with a 16 ounce portion of animal protein is a peculiar concept for many other countries.

I meant to say the western hemisphere, not North America.

Talked to a HK chica about what she paid for a place a year or two ago. She told me $80 per month rent for a one bedroom with a yard. Guessing it is one of the paracaidista type places in a flash colonia. Visited a similar place years ago. Housing lot was dug into the side of a Tijuana hillside with a wood framed (pallet wood?) house covered with cardboard and whatever with goats running around the yard with cactus planted around the boundaries. Dirt floor covered with paint.

Almost every chica I know live with other chicas even if they have kids. Living with other people is the norm in Mexico because it is a family culture. In fact if you tell them you live alone, they may look at you funny. And most of the time, it's not just 2 chicas splitting a place. It's a bunch of them splitting a house, and the off duty one acts as the babysitter for all the other on duty chicas.

$300 can be considered expensive in some parts of Tijuana. Renting a house for $250 is not unheard of. Lets not forget the "rooming" types who rent a room literally in someone's house which is a common theme down there. That might only run $100 a month. Even at the bottom level though these women do not live in filth. They might be poor but they keep themselves clean and fed out of whatever predicament they get into. That says a lot about them. In some other parts of the world the people do not care as much.

$50 a week seems low. How do they even afford rent or house payment? I guess my ex must have come from an upper middle class family as they owned real estate and rental properties. The lowest amount for one of their rentals was $300 per month. These ladies must live in crack dens.

Well Mexico doesn't give away money like the US does but they do have lots of programs to help the poor especially single moms. One family I knew would get help with school items and such for their kids if they maintained good grades. Most young girls that get knocked up will also live at home. For those that are completely alone they have a government agency INNOVIT or something like that to help with housing and such. They have some apartments across from city hall that are rented to the poor. Use to know plenty of moms in that place.

I know the factories don't pay shit! Met lots of chicas in the zona over the years who work an 8 hour shift at a factory and then supplement their income in the zona. One girl told me she made around 50 bucks a week. Give or take a few dollars. I was like damn! Plus, most of these girls have young children. Moe.

You're going to take some hustling puta's word over brother Jinxx? Huh! What!

You think I just made those numbers up in my head? You think I don't have extensive solid evidence to back up every single word I say?

Yea the factories absolutely don't pay sh*t. They start pay at about $100 usd a week. I don't know about you but to me that ain't sh*t. That's also basic minimum wage anywhere in Tijuana including restaurants, not just the factories.

The fact that you take some random puta's word, a puta who's mission is to tell you whatever it takes to extract as much money from you as possible, over a bonafide verified high level monger (Jinxx) tells me everything I need to know about you and your own brain power.

If you fall for straight BS that easily I can just imagine how many lies and scams you've fallen for over the years. I bet I know who you voted for too.

Let me know if you want to call Jinxx out again so I hit you with mountains of irrefutable evidence. Try me, I dare you.
