Hello All,
I'm a female in my mid-20's living in Providence, RI. I was born here, my whole family is here, friends, career, etc. I don't care much for RI, nor have I ever...just staying here because of all of the above mentioned things.
A problem I have encountered is the lack of job opportunities here. I work full time in Radio Broadcasting, and plan to continue doing so for the rest of my career. However, because of my wanting to advance in my career, I have no option but to leave RI. Which is ok, since I hate snow, cold weather, expensive housing and horrible roadways. But where the heck should I go?
I am single with no children, so I am looking to live somewhere that is not surrounded by children, schools, and so on. I love the peace and quiet of somewhere like New Hampshire, but only temporarily...as I get bored there after 3 days. Then on the other hand, I absolutely love NYC! I feel it is too busy and loud for me on a permanent basis, and far too expensive for my current budget unfortunately.
So my question is...where does a single, 20-something female, who works in Radio Broadcasting go to live if she wants her career to flourish, peace and quiet, but some city life too if I desire. Someplace warm, safe, with shopping and restaurants, and affordable. My salary is only in the low 30's, so I cannot afford to buy, I would have to rent :-(, unfortunately....
Does anyone have any advice for me? All help/thoughts are greatly appreciated!!! Thanks a bunch!!!
