It’s happened. Someone has finally realised your true potential and offered you your dream job. Only catch, it’s in another state.
Time used to have it that people lived, worked and died in the same place they were born. But in this era of itchy feet, leaving your roots for pastures new is by no means uncommon and with career now top of most people’s priorities, relocating for work opportunities is universal.
Nowadays it is almost unusual to stay put. But what happens when you are the first to take off, leaving the life you once knew, including friends and family, far behind?

If this opportunity is the first time you will live out of the family home, you will be in for some big financial shocks. Although you will be building up your income, having to folk out on all general living expenses such as rent, gas, electric, water and groceries will mean you may not get to see much of your wage. There will also be travel expenses for both work and home visits. And then there’s the social side. Trying to form a new life means making new friends so you need to say yes to every social invitation. It all costs money.
