I'm 20 years old, and I just want to just pack up and move somewhere where there are good job opportunities (anywhere above the virginia line, I love the south but it's not for me). I will be attending classes online for healthcare management. I've always been the person who planned and scheduled everything, which never seems to work for me so now I just want to try a new approach. Any suggestions, or advice from personal experience would help. Thanks!
North Dakota. There is an oil boom going on and I hear that dish washers are making $15 an hour. PBS did a special on it. You would need to find a place to stay which is hard...
It's my understanding that most of the northern Midwest; Nebraska, the Dakotas, I think probably even parts of Montana and Wyoming, etc. tend to have low unemployment rates, but the jobs may be scarce if you move to a small town, it depends. Good money and good cost-of-living though.
You are wanting "good" job opportunities in your field of study, right? Define "good". Some of the states listed have low cost of living but along with that comes a lower than you might expect wage. Smaller populations mean less health care facilities available. Do you have any requirements for weather, activities that you enjoy, and if the south isn't for you, what is it that you don't like since you want to avoid that in your new location? I'm guessing you already know that moving isn't cheap so you'll need some savings to get you there, get set-up and tide you over until you get a paycheck. Every place has its negatives so make a list of what is important to you and really research. You may survive with a good job opportunity but, be forewarned that culture shock can make one very miserable. I learned this first hand.
I'm bad with extreme weathers, especially hot as in 90 degrees+ outside the summer months. To me good job opportunities is anything that is not temporary or fast food, which is most of the jobs in my current city. Thanks.
Boston. There is low unemployment and I heard on the radio today that it's getting even better. The jobs that are in demand are in health care and bio-tech (I don't know what that is but I hear it all the time.) The only trouble with Boston is that it is extremely expensive to live in. There's no place anywhere near it that is affordable. It's a great place for jobs though and a great area to live in if you can afford it.
