Hun, your parents went to college what, 30 years ago? VERY different world.
When teachers said after college you'll get a job right away, well pft, they were wrong! That rarely happens nowadays.
Also, say you move down 4-8 hours away, then find a job in your hometown, you going to move back? That's a huge pain.
If you want to stay living in your area, then only look in your area. I wouldn't take that job. Specially since you are living at home with your parents and they are fine with that.
I don't particularly want to stay in the area my parents are in. I'd actually love to go out of state.
This job that pays $11/hour is actually kind of in my dream location. And it's not my dream job but I have opportunities for advancement there. Does that mean anything?

You will be considered for plenty of jobs paying 30-45k. No need to rush into a job where you are working for peanuts
I don't want to work in the field of economics or finance though, does that make a difference in salary? Right now I'm looking at the hospitality field.
What exactly is a brand ambassador? Sounds kinda like sales, and I want to avoid retail/sales at all possible costs.
"Brand Ambassador is a marketing term for a person employed by an organization or company to promote its products or services within the activity known as branding. The brand ambassador is meant to embody the corporate identity in appearance, demeanor, values and ethics."

Hmm, cool. Never heard of it before. Is it something lots of companies have?
Also, another side question... some people say I shouldn't move so far away for such little pay. But I'm 22 years old, I don't have a mortgage, family, marriage, or really anything tied to my name. Do I really have anything to lose by moving 8 hours away for a low paying full time job?
Some of my friends have said it would be a bad financial decision, but I'm just curious as to how? I'd have an income, right?
I'm really not meaning to be ignorant about this, I honestly just had no idea what to expect when entering the job market and so now I feel like I'm in a whirlwind. Yes, my university had student career services, but the career service center was ran by other students, lol, not HR people, not recruiting people, just other undergrad students. So my insight has been limited.

$11 is a poverty wage. It is tough to get a full time job making less. Its bad no matter what the field is.
You could make $15 an hour waitressing at Chili's.

Check out different marketing companies like, Fusion Event Staffing.

How much money do you have saved up?

Does the job offer a relocation package? I recently graduated too; and I chose to look for jobs that are about a couple of hours away( 2 hours max). Reason being, some companies do not offer it at all. Where is your location?

Do you want to build a career? If you just want to go have some fun, live like a hipster and work for minimal pay working at a resort for a couple years, that is your prerogative. But it is what it is, and its not a move you would make in order to advance a career/make money.
