Default Re: I know the answer

Hi Boyd

Thanks for your response.
Jobs in Singapore that I personally feel Americans are welcomed are those in the line of coaching, training, consultancy, IT, etc ... as definitely they are more advanced and creative in those areas.

So, you have a thought of setting up a business here or looking for opportunity to settle down here?

There're actually clubs for American expats in Singapore, you can check out
www.aasingapore.com

Hope this will help! :)

Sincerely

D.D. - Singapore
