If I know how much I will be making and where I'll be working, this will help narrow down where I'll be living and for how much.
Does anyone know any method of successfully accomplishing this task?
I don't really have a "career". I'm a welder, not certified, but have plenty of experience. 7 years to be exact. Also, I work for family so I can't really just "transfer" or something. I would love to change career paths very soon, as I have had several injuries in this line of work and it' already began to take it's toll. I would love to be in some sort of career where I was designing something. Anything from buildings to advertisements. I'm a natural born artist and just love the concept of creating something and seeing the finished product. If I could land a dream job with no education to start (which I know is asking a lot) I would be ecstatic. However, if I need to stick to my current job skill that can be manageable as long as it's temporary. But income and budget wise all I need is around 30k/year bring home to survive total, rent and all. Less if I can sell my car but I don't really want to but if I had to I guess I could.
Anyways, Thanks for your help.

ANy idea if you can do construction? If so, I know with the local fires we had here, there are going to be some work to do major clean-ups and also build lost homes from scratch.

Most people in construction are stuggling to find work too. There is already a backlog of unemployed construction tradesmen that are trying to get jobs.
