being able to afford san diego (renting, condo, house)

[nads786]

I am going to graduate from nursing within 2 years, and i was wondering whether being an RN in san diego would be enough to afford to live there? Im from chicago, love the city, but sick of winter and i need a change of venue

im single and looking for a apt/condo and maybe house in the future

You should have no problems with either finding work as a nurse or suppoting yourself in San Diego as long as your standards are not set too high. You do have to make some sacrifices to live in a spring, summer, spring again, spring again climate. My wife is a nurse also from Chicago, and she always found work and got good wages there. The rents are probably considerably higher than in Chicago. Good Luck!

You'll be totally fine...probably won't be able to buy a house near the coast or anything, but renting should be no problem. Have fun!
