If you speak English, you'll be making a minimum of $1k per month at a call center.

To me, there's 2 classes of locals here: Regular ticos and Americanized ticos. The rates you posted about are what regular ticos make. Americanized ticos make much more than that. They speak English, they work for multinational corporations, they drive expensive cars and live in expensive houses.
