You can always start with a job that you know you can relocate to somewhere else. For example, if you get hired at the post office in your town, you should be able to relocate and still have a job and can job search for something better after you move. There are other companies that should rehire you after a move, so that's something to look into. Though if you don't want to go that route, there are a lot of cities that have a plethora of places that are hiring, part- and full-time.
I moved from south Jersey to just outside of Seattle, but had the fortune of keeping my stuff in my parent's storage unit back home. If that's an option for you, you can ask them or if someone in your family has a storage unit you can borrow space from and help pay. If not, as
>>240605 said, you'll have to figure out what to do with your stuff if you don't have that option.
Another option is to live just outside of the city and commute in. See if where you're moving to has a reliable transit system, regardless if you have a car or not, just to cover your bases. I'll be a lot cheaper in the long run.
Assuming you have Facebook, there are groups dedicated to meeting people in your area, so you can always hang around in those and see about fun meetups that interest you. There are also a ton of events run by different companies, like cat cafes or local breweries that hold tastings or the like. You can even use those groups to find roommates if the need arises.
>How did you guys move? What challenges were there? Any success stories?Personally? I ended up springing my move at the last second on my folks as a former friend helped me out to get my job here as I wasn't having any luck getting one in Jersey. But I've been doing decently here and Seattle isn't too bad and I've been here for a little over 3 years. There's some neat stuff to do here, at least, and the city minimum wage is $15/hour.
