Hi,

Second question, are their are IT jobs on the island?
Thanks.

Re: Emigrating to Barbados
I would say it is difficult to immigrate into Barbados. Your best chance is to either have enough money to open a business and apply for visa based on the fact your opening a business or be sponsored by an employer. Unlike Australia, Barbados is not actively looking for new immigrants.

I'm guessing what you are saying is that BARBADOS is heavily dependent on Tourism, but there are many many other companies and business that rely on IT as well. Sooo.. to look only at the hotel sector would be limiting to only one type of work related job search.

IT IMHO, is a very broad category. Certainly a VLSI Engineer aint going to make any headway in the country
