Working in Lake Chapala / Ajijic

Trying to find a job in Lake Chapala or Ajijic is not easy. Most expatriates living here are either retired, have their own business or are simply living off their savings. The area appeals to the more entrepreneurial-minded foreigner who comes out here with a bright idea and sets out to achieve his or her goal.

The easiest job opportunity is to teach English; however, considering the size of the English-speaking community in Chapala and Ajijic, it seems much easier to find work in nearby Guadalajara. Check out our Guadalajara section if you would like to find out more about job opportunities in that area.
