How do I move to a big city from a small town? There's no jobs or training here. Homeless shelters and section 8?
>>
fuck off. we don't want any more city slickers, you fags are no different than niggers
>>
Get an education and then a job in a city?

I need to be in the city before I can attend college
>>
I'm highjacking this shit spam thread. How do I move from fucking socal with a math degree and no experience in anything to wherever the fuck jobs are. Needs to be U.S. since I have no passport and no money for a passport and only speak English.

Section 8 is a broken system that will not help you. If anything it'll cement you into poverty forever.

It is an incredibly inefficient system that punishes people on it who try to get out of poverty by working hard.

fake your resume, interviewers in large cities go through so many people a day that it's not too difficult to really stand out

New York specific: Fake restaurant service experience on your resume, get job waiting for one of the high-end catering companies. They generally start at $20/hr untipped. Try and find roommates on craigslist, don't worry about where you're living. Scrape by for a few years, keep your eyes constantly peeled for rent-controlled apartments, apply to affordable unit lotteries, and after 1-2 years you should be set with decent accommodations.

That's pretty cool. I got halfway through security certification because I took criminal justice shit in school but I couldn't finish the training fully because they don't have any training for that here.

I think if I could get that job I'd be set in the city even if I'm poor

Thank you guys you're right. I'm just not sure about NYC it's kinda shitty and overpriced and cold I don't see it being worth as much as it cost even with all the people and trains.
>>
>>37253859

the big city is a meme. It's not worth it. If you actually live in cousinfuckerville, population 2 just move to the nearest big town. It's close enough to what you're looking for.

>I'm just not sure about NYC it's kinda shitty
Yeah, don't move here unless you're 100% dedicated to eating shit for like 2-3 years. It changes to easy mode after that for most transplants, but you have to put in your dues.

I want to produce music and I'm sick of this shit I want to be able to just harass bitches on the street and get drunk and do stupid shit and not have it follow me.

I don't want intimate relationships
I don't want to know my neighbors
I don't want to see the same people over again
I don't want to be bored
>>
>>37254501

Where do you live? What you're looking for can be acheived in most cities. Even in megacities most people wind up becoming "locals" in the few blocks that they live in, so that the difference between a small and a big city is mostly in cost.

This might be anecdotal, but every single person I know who spouts 'muh big city meme' also laments that they wished they were doing something different with their lives, invariably something that would only be viable if they were to try and make it in a city - the only thing holding them back is that they're terrified of trying. They're also all balding, fwiw.

You cannot achieve this anywhere, city or otherwise.

>>37254586

They're mostly brainwashed by "muh new york in the 60s, muh move to LA to become an actor." Which isn't how it works, unless you're dead serious about honing a career in an area that's known for it.

Ny I'd be pretty fuckin happy in something big for the entertainment industry like Miami

R-really? I'm balding like fuck

>>37254648
Yeah, the thing I just don't get is that why not just try it? If you don't succeed after 3 years, and go back home, what have you really lost? You'd still be paying rent in your hometown, buying food and utilities and shit. And plus once you move back, everything is easier; like when you shit a little turd after a big turd and it doesn't feel like anything.

>>37253859
Did that for 3 years.

Snagged a job with a temp agency and worked odd office jobs until I was picked up permenently by one after a few months.

If I had liked corporate America, I could have found a job in any industry from there.

But I didn't. I had other dreams to achieve and the city can be oppressive if it's not what you're looking for.
