Does it make sense to move w/o a job lined up?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 1st, 2010 12:08 AM Author: Concupiscible Pistol I just moved to the Bay Area.
But if I can't find anything in a year, I might have to consider drastic measures. I know the rest of the country is also suffering from ITE, but I'm thinking my job prospects would be slightly better if I go to Texas or some shit like that.
Does it make sense to move somewhere w/o a job lined up, or would I be better served just staying put? |

Date: September 1st, 2010 2:13 PM Author: aromatic blue institution pisswyrm that makes sense. but consider dude is in ca, and the market isn't, which is to say it's pure shit. he's depleting finite resources in his current circumstance, so it might just make sense to move to where there are more promising opportunities. if he's bust in a year and has to fall back on friends and family, it's not like he can't return to ca.
