I am trying to find a way to move here

[SHELLY]

Well, I do have a career choice in mind. Since the career field for digital arts is growing, and it often allows for you to work from any location, it would be both a fulfilling career, and allow me to live here. Of course, there are jobs like that in the area I want to live, so it just depends on what is available at the time that I graduate. Considering that a large amount of people live here and have jobs they enjoy, I'm sure I can do the same.

...when are you planning on completing your degree?

You also said you and your friend were planning on starting a business...how well capitalized are you two?

I should complete my degree by 2013. I'm going to be taking classes during the summer semesters, along with spring and fall, so I will be done faster.

As for the business, it is just in the idea stage at the moment. It's success depends on me finishing college, so I can help fund it, and it also depends on other companies being willing to work with us at the very beginning so we can get it started.

OK, I see where you're at.

I think you're a little premature at asking recommendations of the best place for you to live along 30-A when you graduate.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that there's a huge (HUGE!) difference between being a teen living at the beach on his parents' dime and being a freshly minted graduate trying to find a job with benefits that pays enough to rent full-time along 30-A.

Put a photo of the beach on your computer's wallpaper and visit during Spring Break if you must--but keep your head in your books--and out of the sand--until at least 2012...things will be much, much different by then--I guarantee it.

Of course, if both you and your future business partner have sizable, 6-to-7 figure trust funds waiting for you at 21, then forget what I just said.

I know it may seem premature, but I am the kind of person who likes to plan major details way in advance, so I know what I am doing.

I know there is a difference, and I know living along 30-A can be pricey, but I have looked at the long term rental prices, and they range from 1000 to 2000 a month, and most jobs in the field of work I want to go into have an entry level salary of around 40k-45k, so I could afford that.

I'm trying to get to do college out near South Walton. NWFSC has the associate degree programs that I need to take before I transfer to UFC.

First of all

PLEASE GO TO COLLEGE!

As the title suggests, I am trying to find a way to move here. .....My parents moved out of the area to go to Arizona (I still cannot see why anYone would do that, especially when they already have a stable job). ROLL WITH THOSE WHO PAY THE BILLS
ARIZONA IS REALLY HOT, YOU NEED POT HOLDERS TO GET THE DOOR HANDLE OF YOUR CAR OPEN. :rofl:

Anyway, before I am able to move here, I need to finish college.:funn: I am planning on majoring in art, but I cannot decide on which field of art, EVER HEAR OF WAN? :funn: since there is:funn: so many possibilities. YOU BETCHA! :shock: I have considered graphics design, which would be helpful, since the future company that me and my friend want to start together would require skills in that area. However, I have also looked at becoming an architect, which is something completely different, but with my skillset, I could major in architecture. CAN'T WE ALL...HECK WHY NOT, GO FOR IT....

So, out of those two majors, which would be more likely to get me a job in this area? JOB? Like I said, me and a friend are planning on starting a company together, OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN! but that will take quite a bit of time, ;-) so I need a job I can rely on before all that takes off. IS THIS MY HUSBAND TRYING TO MESS WITH ME?

Also, what place along 30-A would be best for me once I graduate?
TRY, UM, WATERCOLOR WORKOUT cOOL FOLK THERE TOO WHO HAVE LEFT OVER $$$ FROM THE STIMULUS TO BUY YOUR ART.


I am planning on rooming with a friend out here, but I am still unsure of what place would be good to start in. It doesn't have to be right on 30-A, but I want something pretty close to it. TRY THE BIKE PATHS. :funn:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

LIKE NIKI...DO IT! (HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THIS AS MUCH AS I DID!)

Not really. That would only be the case if I was trying to move here right now.

I am planning carefully so that I can live here eventually.

I am just trying to get an idea of what things are like here at the moment, regarding home prices, jobs, etc, just so I can plan with that in mind. Yes, I understand that some things will change, and I can adapt to that. I hope to be able to move here within the next five years, but that will only happen after I finish college, and after I find a job that could support me.

Have you even graduated high school yet?

What college classes are you taking this coming semester?

.

Since this is my first semester, I am focusing on getting my required core classes done. English, Math, Humanities, Foreign Language, etc. I'm also taking a digital arts class, and a C++ class. All of these credits are transferable to UCF. I could go straight to UCF, but taking these classes at a community college saves money. With the amount of classes I am taking, I should be able to go to UCF starting in the fall semester in 2010. It isn't too much for me at all. I've always been able to handle a large amount of work, and I know what to expect from college.

 

[Here4Good]

There are not many jobs in this area which pay $45 grand, and I am willing to say that there are none which pay that for someone with 0-5 years experience.

If you want to freelance, go and live in a metropolitan area first, get some cred and clients, and then try moving to the beach.

You pretty much have to bring a job with you when you come here.
