Thnx

Answer 1

Hmmm I don't know, but this is kind of a weird question to ask... I mean, I don't know if you really haven't got a clue or that you just didn't phrase your question very carefully...

There are all sorts of professions in all sorts of income-categories. There are bakers and butchers and bankers and doctors and nurses. There are people working in the informal sector as street vendors or shoe polishers and people earning big bucks in the oil industry. In Venezuela, like many South American countries, the gap between the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich is huge.

Think of any profession and it is likely to be represented in some sector of the Venezuelan economy...

Answer 2

Well, the enterprises have been practically torn down and destroyed by the current government... Though in general, you can find pretty much the same jobs you find anywhere else... (you have doctors, lawyers, as well as people who work on construction, the oil industry, restaurants, and many others...)

In the interior of the country you can often find owners of big ranches with lots of cattle and the like--though many have been illegally taken away from their owners by the government and/or thieves that suddenly decided wanted to take posession of them...

In general, you can find a wide diversity of foods in Venezuela... Venezuelan people come from a wide range of countries and ethnicities, so you can find restaurants specialized in Italian, Greek, Arabic, French, Japanese, Chinese, and a wide range of other foreign foods.... One thing you can often find in Venezuela are places called "areperas," where they sell corn "arepas," which you can fill with just about anything you can come up with (meat, cheese, ham, beans, butter, chicken.... just don't ask for ketchup, though!) You also have cazabe (made out from yuca), cachapas (made of corn), wide varieties of cheeses, many of which are made in the interior of the country, and an indescribable amount of fruits and vegetables which can often be growned even in people's own backyards (I had a mango tree in my backyard, and my grandmother has trees often filled with big avocados, (I believe also guava) and the like...)

One food that you might find a bit "weird" I guess, could be the chinchurria (I believe it is intestines...) and the morcilla (which is made out of coagulated blood and some rice, I believe), though the latter one I find quite tasty... lol

(Oh, and service isn't usually that bad... Just that often the waiters don't really get paid enough, you know? But overall I usually find it's really not that bad at all...)

And the tourism, I'd suggest for you to not go to Venezuela without someone who knows well enough the areas and where to go and where not to go... World-renowned touristic sites like El Salto Angel I've always wanted to visit... (though I never find the income to pursue such visit)... And well, there's also always the Amazon.... And the landscape is truly marvelous overall.... I've met various people who've said Venezuelan beaches like those found in the Archipelago of Los Roques surpasses by far those of islands like the ones in the Bahamas and Hawaii in beauty and whiteness of the sand...

There are also various cultural sites and museums for the arts and sciences.... (though the government it's unfortunately taking care of that, so one should visit/see them while they're still there...)

Answer 3

They do what most any country does. There are vehicles, oil refineries, military, tourism sectors so there is work to be had. Unfortunately, there is a lot of poverty. Chavez said he would aid the poor when he was elected. Unfortunately he has only become a dictator and helped no one.

As for the food, it is good but most restaraunts I have been to there had poor service.
