I haven't said this to anyone. I mean that, nobody.
However, I am seriously contemplating another huge life change. I am REALLY tired of struggling in BC. I mean I love my province don't get me wrong. But the prices are going up and up, and getting less.
I am tired of only being offered shit jobs (PLEASE DO NOT think the current job I have i think is shit, because I don't. I like what I do, and I work my ass off doing it.) I am just really tired of struggling in BC.
I've been checking out Alberta. So far I found one job which is promising. However, I have a fucking TON to think about, if I was going to relocate.
First, I know there would be a court battle. There was the last time I tried to move. Although it was denied, I can see it happening again.
Second, the kids won't appreciate another long huge move. We would have nobody out there, I mean that literally. I would be starting off alone. (now I have friends here and in Kamloops...)
This just reminds me of when I up and fucked off to Toronto in 1997. I came back in 3 months. I don't know if I can do another move.
But I am trying to think of the best interest of my kids. Struggle, or not? You know what I mean? Plus i'd have to factor changing everything over, putting shit in storage again, not letting people know because they would flip their shit.
I am just trying to plan for our future. I mean I can't seem to find fuck all in my field here. I don't know how much I want to struggle. I want to finally get ahead, not continue to go further behind.
Lots to think about for sure. If we did go, it would be stretched over several months...as I said, court battle etc.
Here in Edmonton, the economy isn’t exactly roaring right now.
I’m not trying to discourage you from moving. I’m just trying to tell you the way it is. I do believe in a lot of ways, the cost of living may be lower, but you should do your homework on that if you ever came here.
I know, believe me I have checked and done my research thus far. A friend keeps bugging me to move out that way, she thinks we'd have a better life. Right now though I am finding hardly anything for my field.
Is there more work in your field out here?
