Like I said, this is not much doable in Brazil.

The average wage here is 500 USD/mo

The best wage I found for a programmer is around 2000 USD/mo (unless you work with SAP, then you can get 7k/mo but I don't work with SAP)

There are no way that I would cover my debts with a normal job unless I got really lucky and someone decided to make me CTO of a medium company or something like that

Situation isn't much better here in Portugal, but it is slightly better. Why not jump over the ocean?

Average for a developer is around 1000-1200 EUR/month. If you are good and have a good track record 1500-2000 EUR. It isn't much after taxes, but compared to 500 USD/month should allow you to pay for your living expenses if you are frugal and make a dent on your debt.
