Why do Mexicans want to work in Iceland or in Dubai or Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) ?
is it the money? Like when Europeans came to the Western Hemisphere in search of El Dorado and all the golden artifacts made by Aztecs and Incas?

Most probably due to the ambiguous political nature of those locations.
2 :
its a much farther swim to those places than to the USA.
3 :
Because they can't stand their country and their own people. The same reason people in the ghetto in this country want to move into middle class neighboorhoods. They can't stand themselves either.
4 :
Because they can make a lot of money there. Also, there are fewer racist scumbags there than in America.
5 :
Of course it's the money. That's why there are so many illegal immigrant Mexicans in the USA.
6 :
because they are good with their hands and what better place then iceland. those picks and shovels the mexicans own would be an added commodity

How do I get work in Iceland
How do I get work in Iceland?
I am interested in finding work in Iceland - specifically as a teacher but willing to explore other options. How can I find work in this country as a teacher, or in any industry in general? N.B. I am actually looking for someone to contact - a company, governing authority, job search web site. Not people to give opinions on types of work that might be available in Iceland. Thanks :).

English is an international language and the majority of people in Iceland speak English. For this reason there are many jobs for english speaking people. You need to check websites, such as Work in Iceland: international employment or Work in Iceland: jobs abroad program. This is one of them http://www.jobsabroad.com/Iceland.cfm

Well, I don't see why any American would want to work let alone LIVE in Iceland. It's a cheap store, and all that frozen food would kill you-.. Oh! You mean the country? Yeah, Iceland is nice and stuff, but it's very expensive. Many speak English, but I'm sure I heard wages are high there, unless I'm mistaken.

LOL! I am sorry but "medical coding" is a US only "job". The rest of the world have logical medical systems that do not create the immense bureaucracy that the US system does. You have not chance. You would need at least a degree to work overseas.
