interested in moving to ca from pa (San Jose, Palo Alto: best town, sales)

[dmtom]

I'm 18, high school is almost over just a few more months to go.I've been thinking of moving to CA. It just seems good for me.

The problem is I would have to find a job and have no college degree.

I really want to work at a medical marijuana dispensery because I believe in the medical values of that plant. So, I would try to find a shop to work at before moving there.

I would also have a car and very little money at the time of graduation >$10000

I would just like some advice on the livig situations in California and some advice on what I said
Thanks

California is the best town to live. It has many cities like San Jose, Cupertino, Palo Alto and many more. Life is very simple here. You will find every possible service here. No need to wander to find services you will find it nearby you. It is the most secure place to live.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to find Yeungling lager too readily in the Golden state as Yeungling is based out of Pottsville PA and not really found outside of the northeast , mid Atlantic, and parts of the Midwest/Appalachia/South

Here ya go, and this is only looking at the LA Craigslist for "budtender"---probably work all over the state:

This post makes absolutely no sense.

So far, neither does this thread.

If we are trying to make sense for our wayward MMJ warrior, we might suggest boning up on COL, 215 issues re: housing, and maybe get in touch with folks at the Harborside collective.

Unless you know your marijuana strains and what strains are good for what conditions, you will find getting a job at a dispencery a tough score.
Do you know your strains? The difference between Indicas and Sativas?
Not to mention that dispenceries are getting shut down. They have become more of a call in an order and get it delivered. So perhaps you could find a driving job easier. However, if you are not familiar with an area, it can be tough getting around.
There are some places that you don't want to make the wrong turn.

Depending on where you go and what skills you already have, you can find some kind of service job; waitstaff, pizza places, gas stations, sales clerk etc. and be able to get by. But that all depends upon where you go and how you go about it.
I had to have a room-mate when I lived in Southern California and even then could only afford a tiny in law unit and I was making more than minimum wage. Up north I was able to afford a cottage while being a single mom. And that was done on working 3 nights a week as a bartender.

I would not count on finding a job before coming here. If you are dead set on moving to California, best thing would be to get out here and get a job ASAP. You won't find a rental without a job so you will have to find some where or something to be your temporary home. Cheapest is your car, depending on where you are and time of year, a campground works for a nice home base and is cheaper that a motel. Then there are people. There are those types that can find people who have the space to offer up to someone looking to relocate and give them temporary shelter.

Yes ik my indicas and sativas and I also know some strains. I wouldn't think that they would expect you to know everythibg though.
I was thinking about contacting a collective and asking questions like wages hours legal issues etc
I currently do have a job so I have some job experiance
