Just for that I’m wearing chaps and using a riding crop. You can refer to me as sheriff and you will admit Texas is awesome or I’m handcuffing you and making you shout yeehaw while I do the riding. (read italics on you and I)

So you do not have like a degree on the wall was what I was getting at.
Anybody can get a job, getting a career is a different story.
I ask because what field you choose to get into should be what you are narrowing your options. IMO
Relocating is very EXPENSIVE. Make sure you have cash or credit cards on hand. Unless you plan on hitchhiking and not traveling with more than a duffel bag…
my take: native chicagoan who then lived in SanDiego for 17 years. My vote would be SanDiego, at your age look in Pacific Beach or maybe Encinitas, Leucadia on the coast. Good nitelife in all three. Also maybe up north by SantaBarbara and Ventura, just ANYTHING to ovoid the idiots in La !
The Sanfrancisco area is expensive BUT you have world class food, entertainment, outdoor recreation and a fairly mild climate. Or if you are looking for something a little different with a mild 4 seasons Flagstaff, az.
Hope this helps somewhat…

major help… i salute you.
but seriuosly, i appreciate the advice, i got a couple friends out there already so im thinking that would be for the best.
I have to ask…
How do you move out of state?
Serious question.
If you have a job where you live, but decide you want to move somewhere else, do you just move… and then hope you find a job sooner or later?
Do you start applying to jobs in that state hoping you’ll actually be contacted? Finding a job in your own state may be hard enough (or getting a response back from your application/cover letter/resume/etc). I can only imagine being out of state you would be passed over. But then, say you do get contacted. Do you fly out 2-3 times for interviews (out of pocket, I don’t think employers reimburse for that kind of stuff anymore). Unless you have a specialized skill, or a profession that is in need, I just don’t see this happening.
Thoughts?
I’m hoping to move to OR soon, the Willamette Valley specifically. Year round mild weather, low crime and good schools, highly educated, extremely ecoconscience, more micro brews per capita than any where on Earth, a lot of fit people from all the walking/cycling, and I could keep going.
I’m done with the southern regions. I lived here as a teenager and it’s just not as good as I remember. I don’t know if it was the youth/pot combo putting rose tinted glasses on the past or what, but it’s just not what I was hoping for when I separated from the AF.

Upon finishing her Master’s program, my gf was flown out for three job interviews. She’s in a high demand career and the places that paid for her to fly didn’t have programs for her field.
I’m going to finish school, and then apply to every decent looking job that I’m qualified for. I don’t know how people did it before the internet, but my resume will go to no less than 15 employers, plus I can square away housing before even loading up the moving van.
San Diego is nice, but as expensive as hell. Unless you are going to be making some good money out here, I wouldn’t recommend it. I’ve been here my whole life and wonder what it would be like to move out of here and pay some cheap rent.
I know some girl who just moved out here, in the east county part of San Diego(the trashier part) and is paying $750 to rent a tiny studio apartment.

I have a friend that moved from Oregon to Wisconsin (she moved back home, now wants to return to Oregon).
She got a job in Wisconsin before she moved. She had several phone interviews.

When I moved from Colorado to NY, I didn’t have a job. Easily found one (within 2 weeks.)
When I moved to Oregon I didn’t have a job. Took a bit longer to find one (4 weeks).[/quote]

Oregon.
I don’t think we allow black folk in though.
A few years ago, we had the Olympic Trials here (Track and Field). Our dumbass major wanted to train people on how to talk to black people. LOL.
I don’t speak jive.
