It is mostly older people that can't seem to get or keep a job. Even though I'm sure Mexico has changed in the past 12 years, I still remember a lot of when I lived there. I remember loving Mexico City, the culture, and all it had to offer.

Maybe it's because I still remember and love my family in Mexico very much, but I would never consider moving to any other country before giving Mexico a chance.
The most important thing is that you are happy and that you like the place where you reside.

I'm never leaving. They'll have to catch my ass first and I'll guarantee you I won't make it easy.

I'm sorry, but Mexico isn't going to cut it for a person like me. I have higher aspirations than whatever I can do in Mexico. Yeah, I have family there. Fuck man... I have a house I co-own with my mother. I have a bank account waiting for me that my Grandpa left me that I could live off for at least a year. Most importantly, I have all my family down there too.

Fuck that. I'm not going back. I can't accomplish anything extraordinary in Mexico. I'll go for vacay, but not to live there for the rest of my life. No way.

I'd only have two choices:
Peru: Country of birth
Italy: I have citizenship because of my grandpa.

So that's italy for sure.

My home country is not an option, since Jamaica isn't really safe outside of the tourist areas for foreigners (or at least those who sound foreign lol. I have no accent).
Well, for me, it would be either Venezuela, where I was born, or Dominican Republic, where my mother is from.

i agree with pretty Jolie, i would go back to my country of birth first. Peru.

I'll pursue an education over there, get a job, marry some peruvian dude and have a happy life.

I am not as ambitious as many of you are here, i would be content with just owning a nice house and my family living confortably. But first i want to enjoy my young years...and so far im not doing that...i cant even go to college without paying a fortune....so thats why im considering leaving.

I'm hoping for a country in Europe (England, France, Germany.. or any other)

If I could I'd go to France and join the stupid legion.
Having to start from scratch would most definitely suck.

"a person like me"..
What are you trying to say? Anyone that lives in Mexico or has had to go back to Mexico has no goals and aspirations? You always try to come off as someone who is superior to everyone on DAP. Well, I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're not. You're just like everyone else. In fact, you might be a little lower than just about everyone on DAP because all you do is brag about how you're able to go to college, your perfect grammar, and how gorgeous you are. I'm sorry, but lots of people here are in college, have great grammar, and are much more attractive than you are.

Plenty of people succeed in Mexico, by the way. Not everyone is dirt poor and living in shacks. There are doctors, economists, mathematicians, etc.. Then again, there are also whores, prostitutes, and hobos. I'm sure you could figure out a way to fit into one of those categories.

Nobody is impressed by "your" house, your education, or your bank account, which by the way, it is possible to live off only a few thousand dollars in Mexico.

You're always saying that your aim isn't to be liked.. Is it also your aim to not be respected? If so, congratulations, you are neither liked nor respected. Supposedly you are always honest and blunt. Well honestly, you come off as more delusional than anything. People are nice to you because they pity the way you throw yourselves at them and they way you don't seem to have any self respect. So please, instead of wasting your time trying to impress everyone in DAP or "be honest", go get some counseling or something.

Now, go ahead and find something to make fun of me about.. what will it be this time? My husband, my very real marriage? Or maybe it will be the half naked pictures I've posted or sent to other DAP members? Or MAYBE it will be the fact that I took my top off for a perfect stranger on webcam?
Oh wait... that wasnt me..

Before the option of attending college in Texas was open my intentions were to go back to Mexico and pursue my education there. Lucky for me laws changed when I graduated.

Before I met my wife in my last year of college I was already setting up job interviews in Mexico while at the same time working for DREAM.

It was not that was a defeatist nor that I had lost faith in DREAM, but I had more faith in me making it in my home country than in the politicians giving me that chance years ago.

Location doesn't matter. Success can take place anywhere. This includes Mexico.

P.S. Pretty Jolie, I hate OK but you're ok in my book.
