It should be about a 37 hour drive although I did a longer one before in April (from here through Colorado, NV, etc. then from San Francisco down through all the way down to Austin, then all the way to Nashville and back up approx 7500 miles). This was done as a vacation but also to see where I wanted to live. I have hit the east coast many a time before so I was already familiar with that.

How about yourself before you transferred for good? Columbus/Marysville area guessing by the airport you landed at?

Might trip over an area of interest you hadn't thought of before just by going through the jobs list.

This is really good info, thank you. I have not used craigslist for such in a while as last time up here a lot posted was got work from home junk/spam/etc. from companies whose main goal appeared to be just to solicit an e-mail address. In turn at that time, I always ignored it as a job search engine.

Chillicothe it's a crap hole! I had to get out!

I have made the drive a few times and my best time was 60hrs including sleep and food. I also made the drive from San Diego to Jackman ME I think that is the furthest you can drive in conus or very close to it.

Take your time and have fun. When you get to SD just scour the job boards and classifieds for employment.

Good luck!

Nice. My friend was stationed out there for a few years as well and sometimes seriously questions why he came back here.

I moved here from Ohio as a kid in '77 and it was nice growing up in So Cal but now traffic sucks here, high living expenses suck, and the laws suck. There's not enough room for one more car on the freeway, find somewhere else

commission only sales jobs should be plentiful. A recruiter should help. If you have saved enough funds for 6 mos... AND you get a job (maybe not the ideal job but a job that will help keep you fed) you'll have some staying power (at least you'll be earning and connecting w/ people).

Shoot the holiday's are upon us and most retail stores will be hiring. A good sales-person should be able to talk themselves into a job.
