here it is, the honest truth about barcelona, and believe it or not, i'm a pretty optimistic person...
salary: you can expect to get paid BARELY enough to eat and pay rent. schools pay an average of 10 to 15 per hour, even though i found a job that paid 3!!!!!!!!
social life: well, it's a little hard to meet people because 1) catalans are sooooo closed and keep to themselves and 2) everyone here seems to be in a limbo, kind of between places and keeps moving
overall: well, the weather is nice, and nice beaches, notice i said nice and not wonderful or breathtaking...great place to relax, and take time off to think and get away from the hustle and bustle, but it gets old after 4 months...
as far as the music scene, i'm a jazz musician, and it SUCKS!
so...this is my humble opinion
