What would you do if the place you move to has no jobs?

Question

But know you can not move where there is jobs because you got laid off.You can't afford a rental truck. Do you just sell everything.and go where the jobs are? please help! everything I have is 3yrs old and I need it all. or sell them and start over????

Answer 1

That's a difficult situation and I feel for you. Do you know someone who could store your things for you for a few weeks? If not, you could pay to have them stored. The initial outlay should be less than for a rental truck, but it would be dead money - you'd still need to eventually pay for a truck when you find work and a place to stay. As you've said, you could sell everything, but it would then cost more to replace them, but if you can't have them stored for a while, that's probably your only solution.

Answer 2

you gotta think about why you got laid off then.

Sounds like you did something bad, so you gotta move where nobody knows you??  Sounds a bit dodgy...if that's not the case, I apologise but you sorta made it sound that way.

Can you get a job in a different industry?  There have got to be more options than moving to a place with nothing.
