What's the most effective way to make decent money in Mauritius

Rafael034

I am a Mauritian who's been working at my parent's business but lately the business is about to close because of the lack of traffic and people are not willing to spend money anymore because of big monopoly companies stealing all of our clients. I'm currently unskilled and done only HSC, Never worked at a company. What should I do open a another small business or just go to college/uni and find a job. Can someone give me some details by 2030 what would recruiters from company be looking for?

Hello Rafael,


Welcome to ´ó¿§¸£ÀûÓ°Ôº 😀


Here, we mainly focus on topics related to expatriation, but I will still try to share a few thoughts.


It might be a good idea to focus on building your skills for now, whether through studies or training. To be honest, no one can really predict exactly what recruiters will be looking for in 2030, but  having a solid foundation and experience in a field you enjoy will always be valuable


Take your time to explore what interests you and move step by step.


All the best,


Cheryl

These are just some of my personal thoughts:

(a) What skills do you currently have?

(b) What do you enjoy doing, are you good with people/technology? You will spend 40 years at work so enjoyment/interest is important.

(c) AI will dramatically change the future skill set required, thus I would avoid technology and customer service roles.

(d) We live in an age where people live longer and will require more support.

(e) AI can’t replace personal services.

(f) Often I hear people on the forum talk about the difficult in getting reliable help/assistance. Thus your unique selling point could be a reliable/dependable/trustworthy service.


Think of this as the stepping stone to building a business with many employees that share the same values. In South Africa there are many opportunities for such businesses:

(a) Pet walking/grooming/house sitting when owners are away

(b) Help with local issues, a recent example would be assistance with getting driving licenses or converting the license to an international license.

(c) You shop/we drop – Shopping collection and drop service


What are the challenges of living in Mauritius and what services can you provide to address them?

High IQ post by you, thank you so much for helping me get an idea what to do in the future.


Here in Mauritius the economy relies on Tourism. This is where the money is at.

-  I don't honestly know what services I can provide to tourists, what I can think of right now something like building ai inside a phone connected to an earphone which will translate in real time without any wifi connection because devices in the future will be so quick as technology progresses. Chip factories are making more efficient CPUs and SOCs so you can do a lot of stuff without the device overheating in the future.

-  The world is going to become more unfair as the rich go richer so providing security services at wealthy areas would be great to start a business in Mauritius or anywhere in the world.

-  Mauritius has a big issue with drugs so maybe you create animations for the youth.

-  The problem is the food here, it's way too expensive compared to countries like Malaysia which has the same GDP per capita like Mauritius but their cost of living is cheaper. You can do something like making high quality food, buy in bulk and create something like a recipe and sell at supermarket shelves mid range price.

- There's a lack of the limited thing you can do as entertainment during weekends, most people just go to malls.


Here's your answer.
