What currency is better to get paid in: US Dollar, Euro, or Dominican Peso (local)

So i'm on my vacation in the Dominican :) and I got me a job fixing computers in Mao, Valverde. The boss is really cool and all but he asked me if I wanted to get paid in Dollars, Euros or Pesos, and I didn't know what to answer because that question has never been asked to me except in Tourist areas.

If you plan on living there for a long period of time, then you should opt to be payed in the local trade currency, which is probably US dollars. Euros are the most stable and valuable but local stores may not accept them.

I'm on Vacation there, staying 2 months and I use all three currency's daily, more US Dollars than Pesos and less Euros then Pesos...

What I use Dollars for: Pool entry Tourist Attractions Gasoline and Moped care

Pesos: Everyday things, food and water

Euros: Everything else, Tips and so on.

If you use all 3 currencies regularly, then see if you can be payed differing percentages of each to fit your needs.
