I would suggest that you research schools in the Philly area first. Also, jobs won't necessarily be easier to find in Philly than in OK. (In fact, I've read that your own OKC has one of the more stable job markets these days.) Depending on where you decide to go to school, they may have a work-study program available but I imagine those opportunities are at a premium these days.

Basically, you've got a lot of work to do - and perhaps money to save - before you head out here.

I agree with Tone. We are going through hard times like many other states, jobs are hard to find and those who do have jobs are losing them. My cousin moved all the way to ND to find a job, he said that jobs in ND are more than abundant and pay well too but it's a toss up. You have a good job, a stable job and nothing at all to do because you are in the middle of nowhere.

I wouldn't honestly move until I have money saved and a job. Good luck.
