Dude.. Go to coolworks.com and get a job that also has accommodations. They pay well, feed you and give you a cheap place to live (sometimes free). They always need people in the spring and summer. Most pristine places left in America from Alaska TO everywhere. Montana has many on there. Do it quick. People already looking!

This is a GREAT resource.

Thank you so much!

You're welcome. I went to E. Glacier last spring. My rent was only $9.00 a day. 1 free meal. Got a great hourly wage plus mega tips. Just don't get in with the wrong crowd. Find people who want to go on adventures in their free time.
The regulars will tip you off on the next gig if you want to winter somewhere. Good luck and have a WONDERFUL time!! It will be awesome.

If I were still of working age I'd land a security gig being a night watchman. They make their rounds but spend 3/4 of their time sitting at a desk doing nothing. I'd have IT stuff downloaded onto a laptop. Even a $250 laptop will run IT training material. You don't need college. What's online costs a fraction of college and is better in a lot of ways. Then you pass your first Comptia certification exam and your on your way.

And everyone wanted experience. Been there done it. So what to do? I applied at an IT temp service and they sent me out to a certain corporate headquarters. 6 months later they hired me on full time. I went from blue collar work to corporate. But you need to study all the time cause they will ask you technical questions in the interviews. Failure to answer the questions correctly and your going nowhere.

I do have a very dependable laptop!

Where would you suggest beginning with IT training material?

What were the steps you took?

I did it without the vagrancy, Boston to California, with less than a grand. Lived out of my car. Took a week to get across the conus, didn't stop expect to buy weed and sleep and eat. I showered at planet fitness along the way. Got a job in the first month. Been enjoying the change of scenery.



You can't run from your problems by moving to another state, but wheenever you make changes to better yourself or just a calculated risk pitting yourself against nature,

The universe will respond to this by accelerating your "karma".

Go with it. It'll lead u where you are going to end up.

Don't rush into things.

Trust me, you can obtain what you want very quickly with some sacrifices and hard work.

Forgot to add,

I got a month to month 1 bedroom for 400 after the first month of working and saving up, it's totally possible if you try.
