So I got a decent paying job here in Ohio about a year and a half ago. In the first six months I made about 28k, at the first of the year the owner took away profit sharing and double time on Sundays then dropped everyone down to 40hrs/wk. I will Finnish 2013 making a out 33k co.considerably less than what I could have made in previous years. Everyone in the whole company is taking a huge hit and the owner just bought himself a new amg Mercedes.good for him.
So a friend of mine who is a very successful business man flew me out to Arizona a few weeks back and propositioned me to come out in January and bartend and help mannage a bar/club that he and another investor are going to open. I have already talked to another bar owner that is willing to hire me for another bartending gig.
now the kicker,my friend owns a house and says I can stay there for free for as long as I want. my friend stays with his girlfriend 95 percent of the time and his little sister lives at his house by herself, she is like a little sister to me and wants me to move in because she doesn't like living by herself.
I am 95 percent debt free,so anything I make will be able to go straight into savings. Also I believe that living in Arizonawill possess more opportunities in the long run compared to the diminishing economy in Ohio. No I wouldn't rely on bartending is a long term career but I think it will be a good source of income to get my feet on the ground, eventually I would take my firefighters exam and explore other options for a future career.
I lived in Arizona if you years back and really enjoyed the state in the Scottsdale Phoenix area, the only reason I moved back to Ohio was my father's health and my family really wanted me to be around just in case anything happened, I realize now that I can't bass my life around someone else's healthand I hate to say it but it's the truth.
so tell me do you think this is a fair opportunity to explore?I know my mind is already made up but I'd like to hear your opinion. Cold ass rust belt ohio or hot sunny deserts of Arizona?
