I've lived in the Hampton Roads area my entire life, never had a chance to really get out and experience the World - no military experience or anything. At the age of 25 I really don't want to settle down and commit to a 30 year investment right now, knowing that things here are just okay at best, ya know? With the recent opportunity given to me to get out of this area, at the age of 25 why not take it?

With my experience in the auto industry, I shouldn't have a problem finding a job anywhere I go.

That's as good as anything. Just don't burn your bridges and you just might be able to make it. Ever do the whole ATI thing?

ATI is based off the service side of the automotive industry, I am in the sales portion. I've built a rather good reputation for myself, at least I'd like to think so in the local area among dealerships, not only showing my ability but also my loyalty.

Shortly after the entire idea of leaving the Hampton Roads area did come to mind I discussed the idea with the Director of my department. While there is no such thing as a guarantee in my specific line of work - I feel as if I have built a good enough name for myself that my position would be offered if things don't work in Nevada.

Point made, Matt. I have no rebuttal against that.

In fact, you remember what we talked about before as far as taking risks? Your postcard inspired me. It really did. I'm planning to open my first business by this time next year. I'm taking that risk!

Hah.. wow wondering where you got your money from for those cars. But man, if you survived in that game, and considering your age, I'm sure you'd be able to make it anywhere you go. I say get the hell outta here and see what you wanna see. Or if you think your cool enough with where you work. Save money and just take those vacations that everyone always tells themselves they want to take. Heck, if I get my job teaching, that's three months out of the year I can go and do whatever, I just came back from a trip to FL, I think I spent about 500, gass, food, and a place to stay.
Do you wanna move just to get a change, or is traveling something you just want to do?

The reason why I was asking where you want to move was, well you can I mean for the prices you find here you can go to somewhere, lets say in GA, and about an hour and a half away from Atlanta and get something twice as nice. In Vegas, I know if you take up some internships as a Lawyer, they have some great set ups there. However, like you said, your a car sales person, hell you'd fit right in.


But yeah, it all depends, what do you want? If it were me, I'd get the fuck outta here.
