What about mathematicians ?
Is there a demand for math professors, or mathematicians ?
I have a PhD in math, living in Toronto now.

In advance, thank you

Plenty of openings for teachers but the salary will not be enough for you to live on unless you live like a Belizean and love rice and beans 24/7

But what is the salary?
And perhaps what do you need to live on. I mean like a Belizean.

For instance in Trinidad about $800US Gross would be just about enough pay for rent and food.
Tax is 25% flat.

As for the math professors I know Belize has its own university so check that out andy.

Trinigal,
I checked the site of Univ of Belize, but it's so poorly done (actually, by some French students), not
much about faculty staff, or lectures. Anyway, would be nice to know how much a math professor can make in SP, or other parts of Belize - elementary, high school, or college level.
Thank you

I used to correspond with someone from there for work, if you are really interested send me a pm and I will get it for you

I have been to Belize, actually Ambergris Caye, and am interested in moving there for at least a year. I have a BA in Marketing, and am currently the Marketing & Economic Development Director for our City. Almost every site that I've been on just shows 'vacationing' information.

How is the job market in A.C. and how are the living expenses (and could I even find an apartment to rent)?

Also, can I just pack up and go, or are there certain paperwork and documents needed before actually living there?

you can live here, but not work here immediately. You will have to get your passport stamped each month behind FIDO's at immigrations. You must have a work permit to work.

do a search on this site for working and work permits, there is a lot of info.

I saw that information about obtaining a work permit... but was hoping I could get around it. It said it takes several months! There goes my dream of running away to A.C.!! AHHH!! (Well, at least until I get a work permit.)

I couldn't even work at a hotel or bar or anything???

no, you don't want to go around it. no, not a hotel or bar. definately not. you do not want to break the laws and rules and then have to leave this wonderful place. If you must work when you get here, work on getting your permit before coming. If you start your own business employing Belizeans it will be even easier.
If really interested don't rely on info that could be outdated regarding wait times for a permit before throwing away a dream. Contact immigrations or wait for a few who will have more info to tell you who to contact. There are a few I think might add some info here.

Don't say "there goes my dream of running away to AC" so quick." If it is really a dream you will make it happen. I did. What do you do for work now?
