How do i survive in california ?

Question

I saved up 5,000 dollars and currently saving more money to move to california. The problem is, I don't have a job nor family that lives there.

I'm currently not working, but make money by helping family members out.

I have until next year in september to move out of my mother's house.

I want to live in california (san diego) to get into some type of training program so I can get a job in that field. I use to live in san diego, but that was way over 10 years ago.

In the mean time I will look for a security job for the time being, and work part time and go to school. The problem is, I won't be making enough to have my own place.

The only thing i can think of is,getting a roomate. How do i go about this if i don't know anyone in san diego? What are the safe areas in san diego? Another problem of mine is, I don't have a car.

I need any advice that will help me make this differcult move. What advice would you give a 23 year old that hasn't lived in san diego since 1994, who has no friends or family there. No job and a place to live.

I will be 24 when I make this move, I should have around 10,000 when I move. Please help good advice please,you will also get 5 stars if you live in california and can tell me the do's and son't to living there.

thank you

Answer 1

San Diego is a pretty safe place to live. If you are going to be going to school, you could meet a future room mate that way, Once you get a job you will meet people. Also, the best place to find people to help you out with anything is by joining a church.Good luck to you.

The first thing you need to do is find a place to live. The best way to find roomates with a place already is www.craigslist.org . Most likely you will find collage kids or something shairing a house which will make the cost much cheaper. Even if this isnt a great fix its a start to get you into the area. Then you will need to get a guard card to do security in CA. You can do this by applying to a local or natonal security company like Allied-Barton. Night work would be best for you as you can do school doing the day and for the most part do your book work at night while siting at a desk.
