after college plans

<p>if there's a city you're interested in living, but you have no specific talents for any specific industry (no programming skills, accounting skills, etc.), would it be smart to try and find any company that will take you? would it be dumb to just move over there and try and struggle on your own, not even knowing where your expertise is?</p>

<p>yes it would be smart to find a company that will take you. you can always be a sub teacher too.</p>

<p>I've thought about this as well. I always thought to secure a job before moving there would be the right way to do things. I've always wanted to live in San Francisco (I live on the East Coast) and will try to get a job there after college. This is a few years away though.</p>

<p>Chicago or Washington D.C. for me.</p>

<p>Right now, I am planning of going to grad school in New York City or Boston and living in NYC, Boston, or Philadelphia after grad school. I wouldn't want to live in Boston unless I went to school there because I've lived there before and it was too cold, expensive, and I didn't have a good experience with the people. Though I am willing to give it a second chance if I get rejected at the grad school I want to go to in NYC. And yes, I will make sure to have a secure job within my profession before moving there.</p>

<p>I would like to live, preferably, around Charlotte, NC. My fiance also would like to stay in the North Carolina/South Carolina area, mainly because its a booming place right now. Another place I wouldn't mind living in is the DC metro, because of the transportation system (which Charlotte is currently lacking) to get downtown. </p>

<p>The DC metro is about 2.5 hours from my parents, but 6 hours from his :-/. Its a sticky situation as to where we'll be.</p>

<p>Ugh. DC is highly overrated, that's one place I'm glad to be leaving.</p>

<p>I have a poor habit where I always have to be over-prepared for any situation. I'm the weirdo that arrives at the airport five hours before the flight and packs their own roll of toilet paper - just in case.
So the idea of just up and moving before securing a job is fairly unfathomable to me.</p>

<p>d.c. is boring. dont come.</p>

<p>I'd like to move to Miami, Phoenix, or Houston after college, and I hear many the job market in Texas is nice. What I plan to do is to live in my hometown for 1 and a half years, save up some money, and then move after I have a job lined up. </p>

<p>There should be entry-level positions that you can find, and your major will not matter in many cases.</p>

<p>What don't you like about our hometown lethargy?</p>

<p>I'm half tempted to move back home for a year or two and convert all my would be living expenses into repaying my loans ASAP. Then any money I save would go towards grad school. At the same time I want to move to LA or SF. Maybe I'll just end up wherever my job forces me to move.</p>

<p>I'm planning on doing either post grad, SMP, or travel around the world for a year.</p>

<p>Med School up North.. I don't want to be stuck in the south forever. I'd like to try Mayo or U-Dub or something like that.</p>

<p>Ultimate goal: Live in Seattle, Vancouver, or Portland.</p>

<p>I have no plans whatsoever except to get high grades, and I'm a junior :(</p>

<p>i'd like to live in seattle, chicago, or new york after undergrad. i'm planning on doing grad studies in the d.c. or ny area though.</p>

<p>Right now all I can see is 7-10 more years of school.</p>

<p>EUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>

<p>After that, I'd love to live on the West Coast. I'm so done with this coast's climate. You're either freezing your ass off or sweating like a pig.</p>

<p>I just want to get out of the south, preferably somewhere with a decent public transportation system, but I don't want to live somewhere it snow for 6 months out of the year either (northern midwest, etc) because this southern girl can't take all that cold. I wouldn't say no to Europe either, since I fell in love with France this summer while I was there.
I am probably going to go to grad school somewhere in the south though, just because two schools I'm really interested in are down here (Texas-Austin, and Tennessee).</p>

<p>It doesn't snow 6 months of the year in the North. It usually just snows from the end of December to the end of February. (here in Wisconsin). It isn't as bad as people make it out to be. </p>

<p>Although Texas - Austin is a freaking amazing school, and Austin is an awesome city as well.</p>

<p>Yeah... I live as north as you can get before hitting Canada and it hardly snows for six months out of the year.</p>

<p>You can say that about places in Michigan and places in Maine. But the difference would be drastic. =P</p>

<p>I grew up in Toronto and that's what it felt like. First snow would hit around Nov-Dec and last snow would be around April. So yes, not exactly 6 months. But it was a slight exaggeration to demonstrate a point.</p>

<p>I am doing my graduate work in Seattle and then am going to stay in Washington. I love it there and have a lot of family there.</p>
