How did you end up in San Diego/California as well as gain employment?

Good luck!

Thank you.

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

stay there for the Deer hunting season and have your feelers out in the meantime.....

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.

Haha there probably isn't. So we can just exchange, you come this way and vice-versa.

I went to deer camp in Pennsylvania last year for it...didn't get anything. Well ended up with damage on my truck on the way there avoiding two in the road bc if I had hit one would have sent it into oncoming traffic and that would have been more a problem for everyone.

I am sure they are a bit more common. Issue is don't know the market as well as I do here so a slightly larger risk if that makes sense. Like I said I am open to more than just commission only as well, but probably the easiest to pick up.

Also guess I could sign an apartment month to month, don't want to lock in on a lease until I am sure I have a more permanent position.

Leaving Ohio tomorrow for San Diego...
