I live in Alabama. I hope there is no more explanation needed as to why i want to move, but here is my situation and just looking for some advice:
I have no desire to stay in the south any longer- too many narrow minded people, trash, and conservative overload.
- I would be transferring for college
- I dont know anyone there except for a family friend i'd be staying with for a while until i get things settled
- I would be completely financially independent
- My only fear would be being alone/ not knowing anyone--- I just want to meet new people in a new area
Is this a STUPID DECISION, as its VEGAS and me being from a relatively small town and so young?
-
Why Vegas?
Have you considered Florida, for example? Or the Midwest?
Vegas can be pretty expensive bro.
-
be sure to pack all your valuables.

Yes i have considered Florida-
1, i grew up on water/love the beach
But, the only reason I said Vegas is bc i have a really good family friend there that is very settled and can provide me shelter until i get a job/school/stuff setup.
Plus, its vegas baby ! But yea the money$$ is a relatively big issue, but im also broke where i am right now-- so might as well be fucked somewhere cool vs. shitty i guess

Going somewhere only knowing one person. Don't do it, j/k
You will find this to be an adventure and a learning experiance. You will learn alot about yourself, as for meeting people that is easy you will be on campus and at bars. You go out with your friend once, mingle meet his friends then branch out and meet your own, one thing of advice don't get to attached to just one person you need to build a social base and it should be more people from school so it keeps you on track with similiar goals.
Jobwise just go to Monster and see what the market it like, and where you can work your new advisor should be able to help you with that as well. But best to have some interviews lined up the week you get into town.

Weren't you the guy who claimed your Grandfather left you a fortune in the millions and was just bragging about buying a new EVO a few months ago? Now you're broke? Nice money management skills.

Yes, it's one of the qualms that comes with having a good memory and a 25 IQ. :'(

I would sincerely enjoy confining you to a wooden chair, wrists and ankles bound-- and keeping you barely alive enough to watch you starve to death. Hey man how ya doin

Going by your prior posts about your house being given to you and your investment portfolio etc - I would recomend a nice suite at the Bellagio while you settled, than obviously renting a great apartment will no issue for you.

1. Listen to yourself
2. Do it.
3. Do not hesitate

lol @ the south American's dump ;D

My advice is: Get the fuck out of Alabama. Unless you play ball, aint nuthin good ever come of anyone from that cum-dumpster of a state.
Go to Vegas and don't bring nuthin but some t-shirts and jeans and a suit. Wear the suit to get yourself a job at Gold's selling memberships or doing PT until you're making enough money to rent your own place. Find yourself a nice gal - cocktail waittress from LA or UNLV pompom gal and get to know the town. Steer clear of the drug scene and socialclimb your way into one of the circles of power - Maloof, Fertitta, etc. Offer free PT to a wealthy inner circle person and network your way into upgrading GFs and marry a wealthy scion's daughter, get set up with a nice condo on the strip, vacay in Tahoe, and live the life.
Enjoy bru!

The novelty of any so called "trendy" town gets old. It sinks in after you realize all you do is work to pay the bills. I thought South Florida is some fantasy land, it isn't unless you've got millions. Dont get me wrong I really like it here, but it's just like anywhere else but warm weather year around.
Vegas is cool, but you too will realize it's just a normal place after living there a couple years, it's not like it is on TV. The glamor is only for the ones with millions.
Good luck, make the best out of it.

good luck in your travels

I love Vegas. It is a town that if you can't make money here then you might as well kill yourself. The prices of everything is so cheap. Food is SO inexpensive. It is impossible to be bored here cause there is so much to do. If you gamble it is heaven. And if you gamble you never have to pay for food and you get rooms free and other shit. It has grown quite a bit and I don't like that. But it is still growing which means there is money here. The bad areas are bad but the good areas are very good. I have lived in great places all my life. I grew up on the beach in Manhattan Beach, CA and then spent a lot of time in Florida and ended u moving to Hawaii in 89' Vegas is a great place if you hate being bored and you have the money to have fun.

Move to New York and give Broadway a shot.
You only live once!

;D ;D ;D
You are 17 , a virgin with no life skills ,so fuk up.
Hope this helps :-*

it's fine to move someplace where you don't know anyone. If the purpose is to go to school, then you'll quickly meet people at the school. But Vegas isn't exactly a college town. On the one hand, everything revolves around the resorts. On the other hand, it is very suburban. Neither is very conducive for making friends when you're 21. It's also very hot. Have you applied to any other colleges? perhaps some a little farther west?
-
Go to Vegas, go to Golds and become Jay's friend.
-
Whether or not you'll be able to make friends and social connections is heavily dependent on you. If youre an introvert you could be in the best place for networking and meeting people but you won't be able to take advantage of it. It all depends on your personality and I hope that by 21 you can make an accurate self-assesment

Go to Vegas, start calling yourself Craig Titus, and tell everyone that you had to run this elaborate scheme to get away from that evil Kelly.

Ouch. I hear they have a nice selection of modern art, too. :D

My buddy moved there after getting his community college associates degree, and made over $100,000 parking cars!!, he then got some sort of side job in real estate and managed to get a couple of condo's lived in one, rent one out. He bought a house when he got married, and rented both condos. He has since moved from Vegas, but you are right, there is money to be made if you are willing to hustle.
