Just curious who has had to get up and move to another part of the country for work. I am almost 24 and have lived in the same city my whole life. It's super expensive to live around here and now that my owners are selling our dealership, I might need another job. Figure this might be a good opportunity to move to another area and see other parts of the country. Got a lot of friends and family here so it's a hard move but I know people do it all the time (Jeff99gs moved to Cali like it was nothing months ago from here, but he also got lucky to live w/ a fellow 2gnt'er for awhile) I still have a couple options here for work but I'm still trying to buy a place and I don't see the cost of living changing much here. end of rant cause I doubt anything will happen out of this but I'm starting to freak out about work.

I think Flyinesi just picked up and moved to AZ a few months ago.

That's definately a big move to make. I've been in the same city my whole life as well, and I don't know if I could do it or not. It'd definately be different. You could try it and if you don't like it, just move back.

do it now while you are single, have no house payment, no kids, and basically no huge debt. if you don't like it you can always move back.

hard one bro...but i doubt many parts of the country or world for that case are more expensive than CA. just read a newspaper article, for the money of an appartment here you can buy a huge residence in Paris or Monaco...good luck man!

If you're even thinking about it now, you are ready to do it. This is the pefect time of your life to broaden your horizons, when your obligations are low.

Me, I went from Southern Ontario, Canada to Southern California. Only knew one person here. Definitely worth it for me...

im guessin your done with school, i thought i remembered hearin that were you goin to umbc or towson? if thats the case, i would try another area since your lookin for new job anyways, see what else is available

I might do in a year or two (Peace Corps) after I pay off my debts acquired in school. Definitely, if you wanna see whats out there, by all means take a chance and move since you are still young and not tied down.

I think it's going on a year, dude. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Anyone interested in checking out Arizona is more than welcome to drop me a line and get hooked up with the local community. We'll put you up and show you around when you come out to visit and we'll help you find a place and a job before you get here. It's what we do. If you're inot DSMs and the car stuff and you're on 2GNT, you've already got about a dozen buddies here in Phoenix. Just ask Dan.

I moved to Houston from San Antonio. Only about 180-200 miles away, but two completely different backgrounds & atmospheres.

After a little over 2 years, I got sick of it and moved back. I miss it every once in a while, though.

I lived in Pensacola FL for 27 years and I just up and moved to a crappy city in Ga. Dalton sucks. I got a job promotion and was moved up here. I shoulda moved to Atl. Oh well. I miss the hell outta p-cola. If you decide to move, dont go someplace that sucks. I am only 6 hours away from home tho so thats not too bad.

Leave man....at your age you should never set boundrys.

I have left an area many times for work and "just because" reasons.

The short story

I grew up in upstate NY (Oswego) in a very small town, My gf at the time had our first kid at 16, I quit school and worked locally for the family biz (construction co) till 18.

Age 18 I worked in NYC to renovate apartment buildings for 6 weeks at a time making 1k cash a week going back home for Three days then doing it all over again. After a year I made enough to try a new area and rid myself of the small town gossip mill(small towns suck).

Age 19, I knew some distant family in North Carolina, I moved my GF and son down to Winston Salem and went right to work at Lee Jeans.Had another kid and was having a great time for a year. some random guy shot behind my apartment... Great time over, time to move.


Age 20 3 Days after shooting.. was back in Oswego NY. Stayed for about
8 months working construction. Most of my family moved to Rochester for work. (lol the big city)

Age 20 Moved to big city (Rochester) Did random construction then got a job at Kodak. Worked with them 2 years got laid-off. Went to work for a local construction co for 3 more years ...the city sucks.

Age 25 left big city in upstate NY near family and friends with whatever I could fit in a Grand Prix for the promise of union work in NJ and escape from that cess pool of a city. It payed off pretty well... in a years time I bought my own house started two business's and was working my ass off and was doing rather well even had time to have a hobby (my 2gnt) .

5 months ago Age 31 I did it again though. (NJ sucks on many different levels) I did plan the move though for about 6 months .....but I am glad I did. Sold my house and I had no real promise of work in Ohio but made the move anyways...I live in a sweet ass townhouse nothing to fix or worry about.. have two great jobs one F/T One P/T and the way things are going I am going to be able toy with the 2gnt again and actually do something with my CF biz on a broader level moving it from hobby to actually making some decent money
