Question by Kelly: Thinking about moving to Sarasota, Florida and I’m 22. Where do I start?

Hey thanks for reading. Let me just let you know my circumstances first. I’m 22 and in college at a community college close to home. I live with my parents and neither of us have a whole lot of money. My dream has been to move down to Sarasota, FL to reside, get my residency and go to college down there. Where do I start? I know I need to save money, but how do I make this dream a reality? Plus, I’m very sociable, but don’t know anybody there. How much money would I need to be making to survive on my own? How much would the move cost? I will be debt free in 3 months. I need some advice, and some guidance as to where to start. I live in a small town in Illinois and want to experience something completely different. Any ideas are welcome! P.S. If you know of what kind of job growth (I know with this economy it’s pretty bad in general) Sarasota has, that would help to. I’m experienced in retail management, serving, and have an insurance license. Thanks!

Love to help. I’m only 10, so I’ll just guess. Try and work your way up through a job. Start off easy (like a job at Baskin Robbins), and then go a little higher as in getting a promotion. You’ll have to work extremely hard. Work your way up to get a real hard part of your job. Then quit. Before you quit, make sure there is a job good enough for you. Try and get a higher salary. Since you are “experienced in retail management, serving, and have an insurance license” like you said, a good beginning job for you would be a waitress. A higher job would be probably an employee at the bank. I know what u r thinking. “Why should I listen to a 10 year old? She knows nothing about the economy crisis!”. First of all, you’re right. Second, u don’t have to listen to me! Just advice. Hope this helps!
