I can imagine living happily ever after doing that. I bet it's a tough market.

The only thing I know about the Cayman Islands is that is where they hid all the money in "The Firm" by John Grisham. I know...not helpful.

The Pay is pretty good. BUT the Cost of living there is out of site! Before you commint to such a huge move, go do a time share on Key West for a month or two and see if you dont go a little stir crazy. Living on a island with beaches all around is awsome but it does get old. When you live a vacation it is hard to take a vacation!
Also i can tell you the Fire Chief does his refreshers Michigan

Cayman Islands are a good tax haven but probably not a good EMS haven.

I think there is at least one medical school that caters to US students on Grand Cayman.
I've been to The Caymans a bunch of times, both Grand and Brac. I actively looked into starting a business there and I still hope to retire there some day. Yes, it is kind of expensive to live there. Everything seems to be about 30% more than the US.
Since the OP looks to be from Boston, I will assume you are a US citizen, therefore you will be an immigrant to the CI and thus will need a work permit. Temporary work permits are for 6 months or less. Annual work permits are obviously for 1 year and are harder to get. I think that to qualify for a long term work permit you have to be filling a job that has already been identified as a skill that Caymanians cannot fill.
Good luck, I hope to see you in west bay some day!
