Location: SW MO | Hey all. Anyone have any experience moving after graduation? It’s been my dream to move to Texas since I could remember. I love the Dallas area, the barrel racing scene is hot, and there are more opportunities overall than in my area. I like the environment and the friends I have made in the area as well.
I feel like I’ve reached a crossroads at my current job and have been interviewing lately. I would love any advice or stories about packing up and moving to another state. I would be leaving my parents so that will be hard for them to swallow, but I know I want to see more of the world and change my scenery.
Any tips would be appreciated. |

| Do it, you can always move back. My daughter packed up and moved from Houston to Denver for her first job out of college. She was there 2 years than transferred to Phoenix-she did not know anyone in either city but quickly made friends. You are young, now is the time for adventure and to explore the world |

| Do it. You'll always wish you had if you don't. I packed up and moved to Oklahoma right after college... having never been there and knowing nobody. Lived there for 3 years and absolutely loved it. Had planned on TX after that but a few things changed and I ended up back north. You can always go back. It takes awhile to settle in and go through such a big change... 1-2 years for a new place to feel like "home." |

| I would say do it. I have a few friends who have done it and love it. I personally turned down a scholarship to TN and wish I had gone. You can always move back. |

Location: North of the 49th Parallel | Do it. The worse is that you come back home. I moved 12 hours from home to a place where I had some friends and family (in retrospect having friends already there wasn't the best beacause it didn't force me to make new ones). Did the job work out? Nope. So I came back home, with a mountain load of CC debt but huge life lessons learned. Thinking about doing it again- just a little less scary move and a little bit better off financially. |

Location: Somewhere around here | Find a good man in Texas, sink your claws into him, marry him, and just use his money for barrel racing  Or am I the only one who has done that?
I literally went from my parents house, then college, and then moved into my boyfriend's house and ended up marrying him; so I've never been on my own lol.
