Craig, maybe we crossed wires again, but this was my point.
>No lower than second on everybody's list of reasons for locating in Jalisco is its collection of good universities. From them come well-trained engineers willing to start for as little as $1,000 a month, as well as young men and women with business degrees who'll settle for less. Besides the public University of Guadalajara, there's a local campus of Monterrey's Instituto Technologico and a branch of Mexico City's Universidad Panamericana and IPADE, its well-regarded graduate business school.
Not the least of the city's attractions is decent weather nearly year-round, good restaurants, cybercafes, multiscreen movie houses, and a half-dozen golf courses. Department stores are stuffed with goods, though prosperity still has lots of room to trickle down in Jalisco. Few city intersections are without flower or fruit vendors weaving between the cars, or windshield washers hustling a peso. But unlike other cities where prosperity and poverty elbow each other, Guadalajara is safe for visitors and resident managers who use a little prudence. |
