It's coming up on 2 years that I'll have been in a rural area, and quite honestly I think I'm reaching a breaking point. Theres only so much I can enjoy my time in an area that has literally nothing else to offer, and it feels like I'm grinding my life away for experience and an increasingly unattractive paycheck. Netflix and Video games? When those are your only options you quickly get sick of both. And while I'm grateful to have gotten my start in hospital, I have to get out of here and have started looking at my options.
Browsing around I've been hearing two different things:
1.) People are having trouble getting back into the city, applying to multiple jobs for months without result..
2.) People getting jobs in the city straight out as a new grad or even from retail..Once in a while someone will even ask if leaving retail for the VA is worth it!
Looking at the job postings, most of them are PRN, require residency, or 3-5 years of experience. Is it just my area? where are all the good jobs everyone is getting?
Now, I'm willing to move to any city, Ann Arbor/Detroit, The Twin cities, Denver, Houston, (maybe even Las Vegas or Anchorage!) are just a few of the places I would be happy to go to, but it seems like any city that sounds even slightly desirable is saturated with slim pickings in between.
Anyone have any insight on the job market or what my next steps should be?
