Yes, there is work for people without links, but Jamaica is plagued with a management culture (especially HR) who only go to school for the piece of paper, and thus see you as the same. So how can you expect managers to understand your techniques, when they don't even understand their's?
<sarcasm>Well, there's always call centers</sarcasm>
well on that I can say with certainty and from experience that its not always banking, government (import export equip) that stop, limit or kill entrepreneurship...its the the would be entrepreneurship themselves. There is this running joke that a black man cant run a business like the Mr, Chin shop you see on every corner (which are usually Koreans by the way not Chinese) why...cause them think that any money that come into them business as soon as it open them should pocket it. Add that statistic that most business fail within the first 2years ( or year I forget) and entrepreneurship ends before you can justify the thought of even doing it int he first place.
