“Many, when they have offers in other Latin countries, they go because they earn 5, 6 and even 10 times more that here, where the fees for these jobs is greatly devalued“. Beyond this factor, he emphasized that these services are included risk of paralysis because “if you are at the top and you don’t have the proper equipment, the problem is worse.”
